My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Desert Trails RV Park. We had only planned to stay two days but loved this RV park and the people here that we extended our stay to seven days. Mrs. Jessie and her staff were very friendly and accommodating. There is a family atmosphere of the campers that welcome you with open arms (Snow Birds) that return every year to spend their winters at Desert Trails. The park is located near the Saguaro National Park and the scenery is unbelievably incredible. When my husband and I return to the Tuscan area we will definitely be making our reservations at the

Great location with walk-in access to Tucson Mountain Park, and a short drive or ride to the Desert Museum and Saguaro National Monument West. Literally miles of walking trails connect to the park. Large back-in lots With utilities that work, beautiful views and great desert scenery. It looked like the new owners are having to catch up with years of neglected maintenance to the landscaping and buildings. This will be a great park again when they have trimmed the palm trees, painted the buildings and fixed the pool. They are working hard and Desert Trails is a good place to explore the best of

We really enjoyed our stay two years ago. We made arrangements then to return again for the 2021 season. We made a $100 deposit to hold. When covid forced us to change plans for 2021, I called and had my deposit applied to our 2022 stay. I called today, and guess what? No deposit. Changed owners. Too bad couldn't refund. Never did get far enough to learn if we actually even had a reservation at all. I wondered why the website seemed less friendly and the prices were up so much. We won't be back.

Wow. One of the better RV parks in Tucson. Even though it's 20 minutes outside of Tucson it's worth it. Quiet, very minimal road noise. Food trucks will come in, there's a dog park, laundry and shower services, and trails for biking or walking. Best part the people are really friendly and accommodating.

We are at the Diamond J RV park that is right next to this one. The noise coming from this park is ridiculous. In the morning there are dogs that bark at everything. Right now there is music thumping so loud that I can hear it in my RV with earbuds in. Thanksgiving weekend one RV decided to have an outdoor concert in their campsite with various instruments. I don't like having to shut my windows when the weather is nice. I called and asked if they could do something about the music that is thumping now. Guess no one cares enough to do anything about it. Beware if you want to stay at this park
