Desert's Edge RV Park

Super clean area to live. Very well maintained by staff. Friendly neighbours and staff. 10/10 great place to stay.

We have family in Phoenix so we've been staying here for 10+ years. The park has new owners and they've done a lot to modernize and improve the aesthetics of the park. The RV spaces are well maintained and some of them have new utility connections. The restrooms are newly remodeled. They're small but nice. There's a new wifi system although it didn't work reliably on our recent visit. The park has gotten lots of new paint and looks much nicer than previously. It is also much quieter than it used to be. Many of the noisy full timers are gone. The online reservation system still doesn't work as smoothly as it should. Last but not least- if you're planning to visit during Spring Training or the Super Bowl, forget it. The park will be all filled up! All in all, though, Desert's Edge is a nice park - and one of a very few in Phoenix that welcomes children.

This RV park is located on the outskirts of Phoenix. Office hours are limited and there is only one restroom facility. Nice rec room and laundry facilities. There seem to be quite a few permanent residents.

An RV park mixed with full-time residents and part timers including snowbirds like us. We arrived late January in the middle of a Phoenix cold snap with rain, hail and snow in some parts
of the Valley! It knocked out the Internet here which wasn't restored until a long while later -- and only operative near the office and the clubhouse -- the main room closed because of Covid. There went my snowbird dream of sitting on my patio slab in a lawn chair, a cool drink beside me, working on my writing projects with my WiFi-dependent I-Pad.

Fortunately the beautiful pool opened when the weather turned warmer the end of February, yet the neighbors informed us the pool heater stopped functioning and the water started to cool. Because of Covid, no lounge chairs or any chairs for that matter surrounded the pool; no places to sit except with our derrières on the deck.

A laundry room sits near the clubhouse with 6 regular washers and two additional washers that accommodate large loads, yet both of the latter had broken down and weren't repaired within the two months we stayed. Cost: $2.25 to wash and 25 cents for each 5 minutes to dry.

Spaces between trailers is acceptable. Concrete patio slabs and small picnic tables outside each rig site -- a great addition! Drawbacks include (1) the proximity to Interstate 17 with a brick wall separating the freeway from the RV park and (2) an exceptionally loud Williams Drive, along the east/west perimeter of the park. A short portion is divided by a brick wall, yet the majority is divided by a chain-link fence and oleanders. After dark, this section of Williams becomes a raceway for crotch rockets (motorcycles) and a parking lot for 18-wheeler cabs whose drivers may sleep while running their engines. The nearby Deer Valley Airport offers the humming and sometimes growling of planes ascending and descending, yet that is rather soothing, much like a sound machine drowning out the adjacent noises.

Fruit trees scattered among the property offer oranges available for picking; also a sweet perk if one can reach them without a ladder. And the park is close to plenty of shopping, restaurants, and a trauma hospital (if such a need arises).

We did have a small charcoal BBQ stolen off our picnic table in the middle of the night and an Amazon package supposedly delivered to space number, not our mailbox number (my error) where an unknown recipient never attempted to find us.

So... all in all, the park has pluses and minuses. Water pressure--pretty sad, yet grounds upkeep-- top-notch. Will we return? Maybe. More likely--not. Yet that decision is up to each RV-er. You must decide for yourself.

We wanted to book a spot here and called several times. The do not answer their phone nor do they return the messages left on their voicemail.

We stayed here for 6 months! This park is friendly, extremely clean and always on top of maintenance in the park!

Office workers are so friendly and do a great job of organizing packages and any mail they receive for guests.

The pool is heated and so clean. Hot tub has occasional maintenance but also wonderful.

They have orange trees through out the park you can ask for pickers in the office to enjoy some of your own when they are in season! So fun for the kiddos or just to enjoy.

They have daily activities, entertainment and events you can enjoy to meet other campers! They switch it up every month but also do have usual free coffee every morning from 6-9am and pancake breakfasts every Saturday (also free for campers)

Two mini dog parks! Perfect for running a little energy off and amazing dog washing station. Super dog friendly park. We had Caitlin watch our dogs for us too (she works at the front office and she did an amazing job)

Can't recommend this park enough!

I feel so lucky to have found this place. Easy in easy out. Great amenities, including a dog bath! Everything was so clean! We came in with a 26' motor home and towing a 12' trailer. When I called and made the reservation the lady was amazingly helpful and was able to accommodate us on short notice, in a pull through site with full hook-ups! We arrived after hours and there was a packet in the arrivals box with everything we needed. I wish other parks would do check in like this. This is now out "go to RV park in Phoenix "

I don't recommend this place for pop-up trailer camping. They put us in the worst site, sticking out across from office. Freeway noise and lights from cars all night long.
I don't recommend taking a shower in the women's bathroom. The water backed up to the top of my feet as I was washing my hair. Gross! I could see hair floating out of the drain along with other UFOs. Unidentified floating objects.
Also when we first arrived late at night the electricity to our trailer wouldn't work.
I do recommend, if you do go, check the ground around your site. Ours had some random metal dowel sticking up about 3 inches. It was fortunate someone didn't trip over it. I alerted management and they hammered it down.
Thank goodness we didn't go there to just camp and relax.

This park is loud and cramped. Has many people that live there year round and many sites are not clean and tidy....actually a little trashy. It could be a gem if there was proper management in place. I do not recommend this facility!

I am so disappointed in this RV Park. I recognize the need for a return policy, we have actually received two different policies. However, I do not recognize one that is taking such advantage over people. In the mitt's of this country's national crisis these people, even after a two weeks notice refuses to refund our two day trip through Phoenix. Several states and soon to be more has a stay put directive on travel. Every cruise, hotel, resort, airline has refunded passengers in lu of their policy in order to support this nations concern over Coronavirus. This RV Park has decided that they are going to take everyone's money anyway. All other parks we scheduled with Even KOA has completely refunded and without their normal $10 cancellation fee. SHAME ON YOU!!!!
