Looking to hold up somewhere in the southwest for a couple of months during the winter. We are just getting started FT'ing. We are in Colorado now, but don't want to get caught in icy conditions on the road. Does anyone know where there is a nice campground with reasonable monthly rates. We can head any direction. We have even considered Utah, or the coast of Oregon for some of this winter. But, would prefer to head in the general direction of Poway, Calif. for the first couple of months. Any suggestions?

So Cal is nice but generally pricey. (check out rv reviews) AZ will be a bunch cheaper with the same weather but also less green. If it were me I'd go to Tucson (lots to do but slightly cooler than So Cal, lots of parks to choose from). Yuma will be warm and cheap (not. much to do there). Quartzite cheaper still, Lake Havasu for water......lots of choices but you are smart to leave CO.

We spend winters in Mesa, AZ (Phoenix area). We love being able to be in the desert in 20 minutes (up in the Superstitions) and we have wonderful museums, art centers, concerts, restaurants, shopping, etc. available. RV Parks of ever size imaginable (25 sites to 2500 sites) - some with extensive amenities, some with few.

We are managing La Paz RV Park just outside of Quartzside this winter...you can get the whole season for the equivalent of 45 days...very reasonable for FHU...come see us! We'll be there by mid October. ;)

Las Cruces and the village of Mesilla, a beautyfull mexican town, historic Billy the kid was convicted there !
Apache Junction in AZ is a beauty also with its Superstition mountain and lots to see !
Going to both places this winter...
You should go to Quartzsite in january during its annual rv show ! http://www.quartzsitervshow.com/
