We loved this RV park! Everyone was so friendly. We only spent one night, but do hope to return again! Place was very clean and well maintained! Highly recommend!We really enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub! They had about 5 available sites, even though the website said otherwise. Call and be surprised by the excellent Good Sam rate!
First off we enjoyed our time at the arizonian. Not really because of the resort itself, because we really don't use the amenities. But just because we had recently sold our home in 2020 and became brand new rv'ers. We own a vintage rv. It's in excellent condition. When we first called the park Diane the park manager was very friendly and helpful. There was NO 10 year rule. Obviously ours was 25 years old. Also we are not 55. But we've seen people way younger stay there. We are in our 50s though. We stayed 6 months. Cost us 3500.00. We left no issues. We then stayed again for 5 months during the summer from June to November again paid 3600.00. Btw, we paid everything up front. There were some issues second time. Managers dog got loose and even though she was responsible, she was yelling at our friends because they grabbed the dog for safety issues. We also had a neighbors dog loose and on our steps. We lost power 3 times staying in the park. One time because their transformer was bad. We weren't notified that we were going to be without power. They also messed up our mail and was forwarding it to Michigan. Even though we informed the manager of the new one. We stayed again at the arizonian for a couple months this year. Just 4 months ago. Everything was OK accept loose dogs again. We have dogs so we love dogs. But it was upsetting our dogs to have dogs come after them in their own space. Not loose by accident mind you just people not obeying the leash rule. Our biggest complaint is this September we wanted to stay again and Jodi the manager said we couldn't because of a 10 year rule. She didn't say it was " new" she said they were now enforcing it. Said the " main" office was making them. There is NO main office. Mind you Jodi was the one with the loose dog that yelled at my husband. And we just stayed here 4 months ago but yet all the sudden we're not good enough to stay here? Its wrong what they did. We'll never go back to this park even if we had a newer rv. People who live there are great. Management is not. We just wanted to stay a month.. not move in. There are older homes and even people staying in converted horse trailers. Our rv should not have been discriminated against.
The Arizonian RV Resort is a great long or short term RV park (including park model homes) designed for a 55+ community. My folks live here during the winter and I love to visit as the Arizonian has activities all the time for guests and members. Everything from a pool/hot tub, laundry and gym to concerts, poker nights, gourd painting, crochet/knitting and quilting clubs. They also have an RC plane landing strip, an RC car track (and cool race events), a golf course, access to public lands for ATV/UTVing, an ATV/UTV wash and more. Pets are allowed in part of the park and rent is reasonable for a week/month/year.
The weather is great during the winter months (cant speak to summer). And there is plenty to do outside of the park that is within driving distance.
This was a very nice rv resort. However now there is a mother / daughter team running this place. The daughter is going to run this place into the ground. She was so rude to our guests when they stopped in the office to get a parking pass. Some wouldn't even come back. Although we have been there for 4 years in a row she let us know we may not be able to come back the following year even though we were trying to rent for 3 months the next year. We were forced to find a different resort. I would never go back there and we have other friends that were treated the same way and had to go somewhere else.
