Camp Verde, AZ - Rancho Verde RV Park

A few years ago on our last trip west for the winter we experienced some awful weather at Yuma, AZ. The wind blew almost continuously all the time we were there. We thought we might have to shovel out the dust and sand from inside our trailer to get it light enough to travel. We were camping and traveling with our long time friends and we all decided enough was enough and left right along with the first “Snowbird” departures.

When the winter months start to turn into spring in Arizona the northern “Snowbirds” get antsy and start north leaving a lot of really nice RV Parks nearly empty. So we decided to call a few places up in higher ground where we could spend a couple of weeks.

We had done our home work well. The Rancho Verde RV Park was an outstanding base camp for our numerous side trips in the area. There is so much to do there we extended our time there to a month. The RV park is way off the major highways and roads and has a quiet family atmosphere. The owners/managers were gracious hosts at all times and we enjoyed a nice military discount from them for our month long stay.

The area is about 3200 feet above sea level and did not give us any problems.

Below are some pictures of the park. Our friends are in the Montana with the blue Chevy truck.

  Trivia: Worlds largest Kokopelli is there.

We took so many side trips during this stop it’s hard to remember them all. But, here is one of the highlighted ones with pictures. Our train ride was on a beautiful clear day, very enjoyable & relaxing.
