Stayed one evening, over the 2024 MLK holiday weekend. We checked in online the night before, and knew the office would be closed due to the MLK holiday. Upon arrival, there was no reservation information, but I had the confirmation email, and the attendant showed us to our site. Because there was no reservation information, we never got codes for Wi-Fi or the bathroom, but we were able to get the bathroom codes by asking around. I get it, it was a long weekend.
As far as facilities, this is an RV park meant for extended stays. I would not recommend it for short stays. RVs are very tightly packed in, practically on top of each other. And depending upon your neighbor, they may have an outdoor space set up that encroaches into your slip. There seem to be very nice people who stay here, and we had no issues with any of the neighbors. Even with the constant LED lighting from some of the RVs at night, a simple request to turn it off so we could sleep was met with no problems.
As we did not have the Wi-Fi code, I cannot comment on speed of the Internet. I can say that due to the density, cell service can be an issue. We have 5G capable phones, but frequently had to reset the carrier network as bandwidth had slowed to a crawl when we would try any streaming service.
Cleanliness was also an issue. But again, I attribute this to the long weekend. Bathrooms were dirty, and trash was piled up in many of the bins. I’m sure during non-holiday periods people are more attentive to it.
What was frustrating for me was a safety issue. From the attached photo, you can see in our slip, 621, there was a bolt driven into the ground. Probably for a tent or some other structure. Not sure if it belonged to the neighboring lot, as it very well could’ve been left there by a previous tenant. I’ve tried three times to call the office and to inform them of this. All three times I’ve ended up at the Sun RV corporate office. They were not able to relay a message to Leaf Verde. I’ve given up trying, so I’m posting it here in the hopes that it will be taken care of. You can destroy a tire rolling over this if not taken care of. So, if you find yourself in slip 621, beware.
Overall, if you’re looking for a long-term stay, and have small children, this could be an appropriate RV park. They have a great outdoor space for kids, there were plenty of bikes in the streets, and the Pickleball court was used. We did not try the pool, laundry, or lounge. For short term stays, I recommend you go elsewhere.
This campground is in a dirt parking lot. The pool is definitely NOT heated. Super cute playground! Fun dog park options with dog wash. YAY, since it is a dirt lot. The office and store have beer and other things you might need. We also were excorted to our site by a nice man they call Ranger. Everyone here is super nice 😊 not sure about the showers or workout room as we only stayed one night.
My family and I stayed here three the summer of 2023, although the pool was a constant issue. The resort was it’s self was great. There is a distinct smell in the air at times, but there’s a slaughterhouse near by what can they do. We definitely come back and I highly recommend
