Camping in an RV outside of Phoenix has its benefits. First off, most campgrounds put you close enough to the rush of downtown but far enough away to still enjoy some of desert quiet. Second, you stay in your own RV, thus no need to pack and unpack as you have everything with you already. Third, if you want to leave, you just pack up and go.
The Desert Shadows RV Resort puts guests on the northern edge of the city only five miles from the Adobe Dam Recreational Area. This campground offers daily and weekly rates that include water, electricity and sewage; monthly rates are also available but do not include electricity. All 638 spaces have 20, 30 and 50 amp hook-ups, telephone hook-ups and cable TV. The on-site library, indoor walking track, exercise room with free classes, indoor swimming pool, spa and billiards room completes the campground's resort-like atmosphere. Guests can enjoy free coffee and tea in the lobby.
