Imagine this – You are standing in the middle of the desert. The ground is all saguaro cactus and shrubs. Rocks and hills rise all around you, some of the rock outcroppings reaching well over your head. And, in the distance you can see the valleys stretch to the horizon, where grey shadowy mountains stand, making a dim outline against the cloudless sky.
This is the view from the heart of Tucson Mountain Park. Located just west of Tucson, Arizona, it boasts a stunning 20,000 acres of sonoran desert, full of majestic desert mountain views and saguaro forests. The park’s saguaro forest is considered to be the best in the world, and watching the sun set from its foothills is awe-inspiring.
Before getting to the heart of the park, you have to hike a little ways. Many visitors are surprised to find the walk into the park is one of the best parts. The trail leads you through Gates Pass, where it winds and meanders, offering some of the best scenery you’re likely to see in the entire state of Arizona.
If you’re not up for the hike, or, if you want to enjoy the scenery from the luxury of your motor home, you’re still in luck. There is a scenic drive that takes you through Gates Pass and right along the edge of the park. There, you’ll see all the amazing scenery, and you can also stop at the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum, which is full of exhibits about the unique saguaro desert climate. There are also a number of short hikes, picnic areas and campgrounds.
For some real adventure at Tucson Mountain Park, bring along your mountain bike. The area is known all over the country for its more than 30 spectacular mountain bike trails, varying in length and difficulty. Some parts of the park are flat and sandy, while other areas have some steep hills and more vegetation.
The good news is that nearby Tucson is full of great motor home friendly sites. Because it is one of the number one motor home destinations in the country, you can find lots of great places to stay. Here are just a few places to check out.
- Voyager RV Resort – This is a big, friendly RV campground with more than 1,500 spaces. They have swimming pools and lots of other family fun to enjoy while you stay, and prices range from $25 to $40, with long term stay discounts available.
- Adventure Bound Camping Resorts – This commercial campground with 250 RV hookups, tries its best to live up to its name. They have a number of fun activities, and are located a little off the beaten path.
- Valley of the Sun Mobile Home and RV Park – This site is located in the suburb of Marana, and gives you a little more peace and quiet than the other motor home locations. This is a nice, clean park with full hook-ups, access to activities, and pretty desert scenery. They offer overnight rates, as well as long-term stay deals.

It really depends on the park.
Usually there are only on-lot hookup for waste when they are permanent trailers. i.e. park models…
Most parks have a dump station, where you either drive your RV to dump, or haul the 'honey bucket' to dump it.
Make life easier… only use the RV's toilet for having a squirt (unless it's an 'emergency')… and do other 'business' at the park's public washrooms. Saves you trips to the dump site and helps with the smell and clean up.
The best answer to all of your questions is this: It ALL depends on where you are going and on YOUR SPECIFIC teardrop.
As for what your teardrop is capable of doing? I would do forum searches based on the make, model and year. Yahoo has an awesome one: RV Basics. I would start there.
As for park costs? When traveling in an RV (teardrop, 5th wheel, Class A or B) whether or not a site has electrical, water, and sewer hook-ups is usually directly proportional to how established the park is. Some places offer everything you might need, right down to a gym, locker rooms with showers, and a laundry facility on the premises. Some offer nothing and you are self-reliant for water and electricity based on a clean water tank and generator.
Cost is completely dependent on the site…some charge monthly electrical and water fees and each site has its own meters, some charge a flat rate that is included in your daily/weekly/monthly charge. Again, the more established the park the greater the chances these charges and quality of amenities go up. Bottom line: Each park has its own set of rules and fees. I suggest checking this site for resources too: http://www.exceldistributors.com/resources.html
ITs possible that a few do, becasue I have heard this before. I've been RV'ing since 2000 and haven't run into any park that did. I really don't think that you'll have a problem. Buy the Trailer Life Directory so that you can call ahead of time and find out. http://www.trailerlife.com/
it feels like my brain doesn’t want to believe that is a painting and more of a picture. haha
When I first saw this I was like “that’s a photo.” SO INCREDIBLE.
Well, I live in Long Beach and the RV park called Golden Shore is 700 to 1300 a month. My parents lived in a mobile home park for many years, though not in an RV. It was called Del Amo Mobile Home Park and there were people who had RVs who lived there. Here is a link to addresses and phone numbers for several mobile home parks in Long Beach. Some may not take RVs, and of course the prices will vary. Del Amo wasn't fancy but it wasn't pricey either. My parents lived there until they died a few years ago.
Check around the Homestead area. There is a nice one down there
I don't know, but don't forget to have your mullet in full-force when you get there.

Rancho Jurupa is probably your best bet. Since they only allow two weeks at a time, you can simply roll out, and roll in, for a new rental period. If you are nice to the manager, they probably won't make you go to that extreme, and you can simply renew every two weeks.
Good luck!
Well I found this link for you. I have never been to this RV park, but it is near Wild Adventures. I don't think it'll be busy in October. All the kids are back in school now and Wild Adventures is usually a summer trip. Anyways, check out this link. I hope it helps!
