Stay Date: April 2007
Our Rating: REALLY UGLY – 3
We’re Escapees, and never expected to stay at a park with such a bunch of rude, unfriendly people. On check-in, we waited while the office girl ignored us while eating her lunch. This is one of the parks where you rent the site of an absent owner, and ours was a concrete back-in. Hookups were good, Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. The park has a rule that you can’t use your washer. Cost is plus electric, which with the a/c running all of the time came to $22day. I’d be embarrassed to say I was an Escapee if lived in this park, maybe it’s the area that makes people so rude. Yuma is a huge snowbird location, but we avoid it; nothing but sand, rocks, and blowing dust.

Cochise Terrace RV Resort, Benson AZ
Stay Date: February 2007
Our Rating: GOOD – 8
Primarily a snowbird park (who’d want to be here in the summer?), this is a well organized, comfortable park. If you’re going to stay in Benson, than this is the only place where you won’t hear the trains. Paved roads, pea-gravel well-groomed back-in sites, not much shade. Local ordinances require that your sewer hose NOT touch the ground. Free cable, pay WiFi, easy shot to satellite. Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. Nice pool, exercise room, and clubhouse. There’s also a “dance hall” and occasional entertainment. Plenty of planned activities during the winter, and generally friendly folks, but as in all snowbird parks, cliques exist. Quiet and dark at night, occasional coyotes (don’t let your pet run free), and a short drive to the Wal-Mart and dining. No longer a bargain unless you have Passport America, and even then it’s $27/day. Cochise Terrace RV Resort
