Benson I-10 RV Park

NOT PET FRIENDLY AND EXTREME TRAFFIC NOISE!!
I should have read the other reviews before staying here. If I could change staying at Butterfield RV Resort for the 17 days we paid for a premium site, I definitely would, even making the extra miles into the Tucson area. Here are the reasons.

1. The observatory is a joke. Just a large telescope in a dome. I can see more using my binoculars. We made the 1500 mile trip and the telescope was broken waiting on parts, then a super letdown on the quality of the site when it was repaired.
2. The water pressure was so low, that we had to fill our tank every day, and use our pump to take quick showers.
3. The WIFI is so slow that you can't use it, so virtually none here. The manager said that the park was full, but its poor engineering and planning. We were 6 spaces from the office and WiFi antenna.
4. Most people travel with pets, the rules here are too stringent to be pet friendly and taken to the extreme. My dog urinated a foot into a site corner and I was disciplined and lectured even though I apologized. So, if the dog pen is occupied you better make your dog hold it.
5. The pool and hot tub were advertised but under construction, so those amenities don’t exist here.
6. This park is up for sale, possibly because it is in a HIGH train noise area. The trains run all day and night blowing their horns and car traffic is heavy so road noise is almost as bad.
7. Customer service is nonexistent, the office and park staff are not responsive.
8. MARK THIS ONE OFF MY LIST.

So to start off with, this park wants $50 per night. And keep in mind it is basically a gravel parking lot with small concrete pads with picnic tables. When we were there beginning of march it was about 25% full with mostly full-time people. We actually were trying to get into another park, but it was full, as was most all other parks in this area or they were 55+. So this says something about this park. First it was pricey for pretty much no amenities, thankfully we had passport America and paid 25. Second cash only. Third, most of the neighbors we ran into mentioned the owner is not the friendliest. But we had no problem when we were there for the night. Last, if you leave the park and come back after 6 pm, you have to get out and unhook this chain so that you can get in. So people who come from the highway after hours can’t stay at this park. No wonder this park gets no business.. I’d say if you can find another place stay there, otherwise it’s fine for one night.
