Hosts allowed early arrival for available site during extreme heat day. My RV dash a/c minimally working and I needed out of the heat. I got a good night sleep and decided to extend my stay to get full rest before continuing on to the next stop. I will definitely return here upon my next stay in Yuma as it is my first choice...level lot, clean, quiet and peaceful.

We love staying on Shirley and Keith’s land. It’s wonderful to have full hookups in a nice quiet, safe, neighborhood with a private patio. This place is perfect if you are passing through or staying a while longer. Very safe place for families and though there are other sites on either side it is usually not a problem if someone is in them there is enough room for everyone to have their own space.

I spent 3 months boondocking in the desert and I needed a few days of civilization to get clean, shop, and make some repairs. This little RV park was perfect. Wonderful neighborhood. I enjoyed walking my dogs near the golf course and letting them run off-leash. I'll keep this place as one of my favorites. Highly recommend.
