Eighty-Eight Shades RV Park

I was a snowbird here for three years and then spent my first full year through the summer this year. The residents are kind, inviting and deserve a safe place to reside. If you are staying less than a week, you should have no problems as the short-term spots are clean and away from the full time resident area. When I first started coming, the place had a few cluttered places, but overall the fruit trees were beautiful and the park was well-kept. Over the course of four years, I have watched an old park become a slum. The roads are filled with potholes and large gravel making it difficult and unsafe for seniors and disabled people to walk. The shower in the ladies bathroom has been in the process of being "re-done" for over a year. Fruit and dead animals are left to rot on the ground, attracting rats and snakes. There are between 15-20 abandoned trailers left to deteriorate and the spaces are never weeded or raked. The maintenance building has become a graveyard for nonworking vehicles and golf carts left rotting in the sun. The power is iffy, it went out all summer on a particular row during 125 degree heat. We were very worried about our elderly and disabled neighbors. The cactus garden used to be a lovely attraction for the whole town, it is now overgrown, underwatered and left to deteriorate. It's very sad, because the potential is obvious, but it is being wasted. The owner is in WAY over his head. He is unable to make decisions or fully articulate a cohesive answer to a question. He refuses to pay professionals to repair things in the park. He does not respond to complaints in a timely manner. Every time a resident tries to address the issue, he makes rambling speeches about all the things he has planned, but one learns over time that nothing comes to fruition. In his responses to negative reviews on google he does the same thing, listing all the things he "plans" on fixing, but never follows through. Just walk into the leasing office and take a look in the crowded hoard encroaching on the front desk. It's truly a reflection of his character. There are many, many nice places to stay in Quartzsite. 88 Shades is not one of them.

We stayed here for a month and really enjoyed ourselves. Maria in the office was really nice and helpful and we got to meet Johnson and visit for a little bit, he is a very soft spoken, kind gentleman. The campground is kinda close to the highway, but we got used to it and didn’t mind. I actually loved it by the end of the month. The sound helped me sleep better. The sites have full hookups and are big rig friendly. They also have a nice little hot tub with warm water and was very clean, and a place to wash your car or rv! Very happy with their amenities and would definitely go back again, and we plan to! Thank you for making our stay an enjoyable one❤️
