Our natural, unspoiled desert setting is the main draw to Desert Trails RV Park in Tucson, Arizona.
We are an adult 40+ RV park and attract an energetic customer base. This is reflected in our hiking, biking, dances, aerobics, and other outdoor activities, mostly organized by our community guests in the winter, creating a campground atmosphere.
We have improved and renovated the building and repainted to give it a more vibrant look.
The Park is under new ownership and is still a work in progress. Every “off-season” we upgrade infrastructure as well as improve existing buildings and create new spaces for expanding activities.
In addition to the amazing artists who perform concerts 2-3 times per month in the winter, our enthusiastic audiences also like the conventional “shows” like Friday jam sessions with guests who love to play music.
All evenings or day events are well attended and generate a welcoming atmosphere that encourages top names to return to perform at Desert Trails.
On nights without live music, we fill up the rest of the schedule with lectures, bingo, karaoke, poker, and games.
The park offers Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners organized by our park community and it creates an enormous sense of volunteerism.
We are busy and occupied the entire winter and we welcome you all to try our friendly community in the park for your next winter destination.
Enjoy Nature in the Warmth of Tucson
No Trains, Planes, or Freeways … Just Quiet
After noticing the absence of trains and planes, guests love our peaceful campground in sunny Tucson and compliment us on our natural landscape. Sunset views can be experienced from all over the park. Some of this is prominent in the “desert oasis” in the center of the RV Park.
Here the thick fauna and trees attract 50 varieties of birds seen in our Park. Javelina and coyotes also wander through at times but are far outnumbered by the rabbits, roadrunners, and doves.

Stayed twice On a cross-country trip, we we're lucky enough to stay here twice. We now have reservations for winter of next year. What brought us there initailly was a review on another forum that suggested the park was "eclectic." We knew that was code and immediately made reservations. Checking the park's website will fill you in on the variety of activities, but, as everyone there told us, the park is really the people: active, engaged, interesting, varied, welcoming. And then there's Tuscon, a blue dot in a red state. Beautiful, diverse, art-filled (over 150 public art installations), colorful, foodie heaven, with a setting meant for hiking, observing, experiencing. Luckily, the owner of the park devotes considerable time (and excellent donuts) to ensuring that the community is kept informed of all that Tuscon has to offer. 
Wow! What a great RV Park! Best staff I have ever confronted in the state. Was a late arrival and was set up in a pretty tight space with a slide out. Woke up the next morning and asked the lady at the desk if they had something with a little more elbow space. They were very accommodating and found us a great spot to move into. It's a pain to move after setting up, but it was so worth it we wound up extending our stay! Great activities all week long, not to mention great rates! I will definitely be back! 
Favorite park so far!!! It is truly a special place with a vibe that is so unique. Maybe that's because this park was built among the ruins of a water park from long ago? Or maybe it's because the setting is so diverse with twists and turns and charming cactus gardens scattered throughout? Or possibly because the park borders the magnificent Tucson Mountain Park filled with ancient Saguaro. For every guest there will be a reason why they return year after year. For me the draw has been the energy and passion the owner and his staff put into this park. It becomes obvious within minutes of arrival that you have not landed at a big corporate chain. You are given stacks of local maps and brochures with an orientation to maximize your Tucson experience. You'll learn about some great restaurants, bike trails, festivals, museums, etc. And it doesn't stop there. Every Monday morning the owner presents an info session of the upcoming week's highlights both in the park and in Tucson. He even brings doughnuts for the occasion. I'll wrap this review up while seriously only scratching the surface. I could go on for days but I'll save some surprises for you to discover. I will leave you with my top 2 reasons for staying here: Outstanding live music 2 to 3 times a week. Food trucks on Wed and Sundays. I mean who does that?!?! Desert Trails.
