Desert Trails RV Park - RV park in Tucson - 3551 S San Joaquin Rd, USA

Loved this RV Park! We stayed 3 weeks in April. Sites are large size, and many offer privacy with trees and mini desert gardens between them. The park's north border backs up to some epic desert trails for mountain biking, hiking, or just quiet walks amongst the lush desert vegetation. The birds sing a constant symphony from dawn to dusk, and lots of other wildlife like coyotes, rabbits, lizards, and great horned owls to observe. Really enjoyed the NO KIDS ALLOWED rule! Made for a nice adult experience with no distracting little human energy! There is a little "mountain" in the middle of the park for great sunset and moonrise views. Most days we didn't even leave the park as there was so much to do on site like a swimming pool, library, gym, laundry room, TV Lounge, and nature, nature, nature!! Definitely recommend!!

The park borders on 2 huge parks for easy access to the desert. The manager, Jesse, works tirelessly to help the residents in every possible way.. She is warm, kind and professional, going the extra mile is standard in her daily approach to residents and managing the office. Jesse knows everyone by name and is always ready to lend a warm smile and helping hand.

Really nice park in the middle of the desert. Even the bic walking paths are manicured. If your coming to Arizona in a rv do yourself a favor. You won’t regret it.

Just stopped in for one night while passing thru Tucson area, but we'd definitely return for a longer stay. Nicely laid out park. Friendly folks everywhere. Great views. Close to Saguaro Nat Park.

We enjoyed our brief stay at Desert Trails RV Park. We love Tucson, and it's one of our favorite spots for the winter. We tend to stay at the neighboring park Justin's Diamond J, which has a little simpler and more open feel. However, we were impressed with all of the amenities offered at this park: showers and laundry, dog parks, a pool, and plenty of areas for gathering and activities. They have a thriving community with a calendar of events -- including concerts -- and we particularly love that the park backs up to a beautiful trail system leading to Tucson Mountain State Park. It's also in a great location near Saguaro National Park, the newly reopened Old Tucson Studios, and the Desert Museum. Check our YouTube video for more details on the park and surrounding restaurants and attractions. *Note that this is a 40+ park.*

Desert Trails RV Park is a hidden gem in Tucson. Located just outside of Saguaro National Park, the RV Park has a lot of amenities: showers, swimming pool, workout room, library, clubhouse, kitchen, game room, and scheduled activities during the winter. It is surrounded by several scenic bike and hiking trails. Everything is a bit rustic but works fine. Our full hookups worked and we had no problems. The WiFi worked fine on all our devices. The RV park is a winter resort, so you'll have more difficulty finding reservations between November and April. However, during the summer, it's practically empty - which is great if you want privacy. Jesse runs the place, and she is friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this RV park.

5th time there. Men's showers pretty minimal. Ones by the pool have never worked. Pool ice cold this year and hot tub, more like a petri dish. Great propane service, wonderful location. Emptiest we've seen it. Still like it but... seems to be slipping a wee bit. Sign of the times. Would probably stay there again, hoping they put some time into the pool area, like they do the golf course.
