This will be our first extended RV travel starting this fall/winter. We want to spend 3 months in Yuma but don't know what resort to book. We thought we might like a place with a pool and planned activities for our first time. Some of the resorts we like just by looking on-line are: Sun Vista, Las Quintos, Arizona West RV Resort, Sundance Rv Resort.  Del Publo is full.  Has anyone seen any of these I listed?  Can you recommend others.  We have one small dog.  Thanks RV-Dreams family.

We have stayed at Fortuna de Oro and it matches your criteria with lots of activities and such. It even has its own beauty shop and restaurant. We only stayed a week but some friends stayed much longer.

We stayed at Cocopah RV Resort last Sept. for a few days.  It was definately off-season and very hot but neat, clean and very nice people.  A beautiful golf course, a few shops and I think at least one restaurant.  Things are different off-season.  They said Oct. 1st. it starts getting very crowded.

We stayed at Las Quintas Oasis a couple of years ago for a week. We were only in the overnight pull thru spots which were quite close together but the long term people had larger lots (all back ins). It was a nice park with a pool but the shower layout was weird. They had a fenced area for dogs. It was on the eastern side of town just off a road that ran along the freeway. If I went again, I'd probably look for another park but it was okay.

Barb and I and my wife's sister and husband went to Cocopah 2 Christmas' back for about 10 days. It was really great. Everybody decorated for Christmas and there were many parties and the golf course is beautiful. Everybody was very friendly and included us in there goings-on. We had a great time just walking around the park and looking at the other rigs. There were a lot of snowbirds that hadn't arrived yet but I don't think it would ever get too crowded. We will go back.

I also stayed at Cocopah RV Resort and it is loaded with amenities, activities (In Season) and a Golf Course winds through the resort.

They have a section set aside for RVers with pets, which is near a 2 1/2 acre grassy area for the dogs to socialize together. They can run free, off leash, and they can meet other dog friends and it gives you an opportunity to meet people friends.

The rate for monthly or quarterly is very reasonable and it includes full hookups and cable. It is not the cheapest in the area, but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.

It is a large park, but during the high season you will need to make reservations.

Enjoy exploring Yuma.

So is it a fair assessement that the Yuma area is quite busy during the winter months and campgrounds might be hard to come by? Is the Tucson area like that also?

Thanks to all who posted.  We found an RV resort in El Centro which about 60 miles west of Yuma.  After calling a bunch of Yuma places and seeing how much their rates went up this year, and several of the places were not helpful at all for first time snowbirds.  Judy at Sunbeam Lake RV resort was so helpful, there web site looks fantastic for the cost.
