The Beaudry rv park is quite nice. They have two swimming pools, a rec center and a restaurant.

I think it still has the same name but I haven't been there for about 5 years.

The Beaudry park is now LazyDays - it is nice. I have not stayed at any other parks but I have visited Catalina State Park on the Northwest side and it is very nice for quiet, hiking, bird watching, etc. but limited hookups I think.

Lazy days (formerly Beaudry's) is nice, as Emery and Armand stated. Catalina State Park is also nice and is in a completely different part of town. I'm also not sure of the hookups, but I'm sure they have water and electric sites and a dump station. There is a nice county park just west of town called Gilbert Ray Campground. It is near Old Tucson and the Desert Museum. I have friends who stay there often. Another one is Rincon Country West. Look them up on the internet. There are others either on the outskirts of town or right in town, but most are near the interstate (outskirts) or really old (in town). There is also Voyager, on the far Southeast side, near I-10. It will probably be the most expensive.

We're currently sitting at Picacho Peak RV Resort. I think it's about 35 miles north of Tucson. Place is about empty except for permanent residents. Specifically 55 and older RV park. Pretty nice so far. $28 for the night.

Beaudry's is not called Lazy Daze. Beaudry went out of business. Nice
park, close to all, restaurant on premises. Camping World on site also.

When we winter in Tucson we stay Rincon Country West RV Resort. Will be back in January 2014. 5 star Diamond park with all the good stuff.

http://www.rinconcountry.com/rcrvwest/index.asp

Just off I-19 on Mission. Exit right on Ajo Way to Mission or Valencia to Mission. Park is close to everything in Tucson.

We were just there last weekend and it was very nice, as it was some years back when we first stayed there. It's now called Lazydays and belongs to the outfit from Florida. It's big and wasn't more than 25% full, won't have a problem getting a spot.

We liked Desert Trails near the southwestern edge of town, off Hwy 19

It felt a bit more rustic with bigger spaces.



Does not have the parking lot feel some of the others have.

Les,

I guess that means you've got your coach on the road. Smile Good going! We'll be gone the first week in May (on a trip to Central Texas) or I'd look you up and say hi.

Nope. The 'explanation', meaning excuses, is toooo long to put up here. And a little embarassing.

Hey, no problem, Les. I'm sure you're in good company. You'll get it sooner or later...hopefully.
