Mountain View RV Park

This was my second time staying here. And will stay again if and when I come through again.
The place is kept immaculate, and Tom the camp host is my favorite part of the place. Always happy and helpful.
There’s a shop that has nuts, honey, candy, jams and more. There’s also a food truck on the premises. Didn’t try the food though.
There’s a laundry room and bathrooms with showers that are always super clean.
The train come through often but I don’t find it disturbing.

We stayed here three days, then went out in the desert, then came back for two days. It was a quiet park and the staff was very helpful.

Bowie, Arizona is a very small town with almost nothing to do in the area. The closest store is in Wilcox, about 25 minutes up the road.

There is a train track behind the park and trains run all the time but they just pass and they did not bother us at all.

I have no complaints and would stay here again if we pass through the area.

We visited this RV park after staying a week in Indian Bread Rocks. Great place for a 1-nighter as they offer full hookups (water, power, sewage), small laundromat, hot showers, propane refill, wifi, free air, and there is a food truck and small local gift shop here (Dwayne's Beef Jerky signs will lead you right there). Bathrooms/showers were just okay...nothing super nice or overly clean, but after a week of boondocking we just appreciated that they were available. The staff here was also super friendly and polite. There are frequent trains that go by behind the RV park, so there is definitely some noise, but we didn't mind it for a night. This is basically a parking lot behind a convenience store so it's nothing scenic, but it was a great stopover before heading back out to boondock.

This campground is a really nice little place. It doesn’t present itself very well from the road, but once you’re there it’s great! It’s clean and tidy with big, open, level, spaces. The whole lot is gravel. The gas station building is also the camp store and where they sell homemade beef jerky, jam, and other goodies. They have a fountain drink machine and a few other snacks. The people were all very pleasant. There is also gas and diesel, a propane fill station ($3/gallon), a dumpster, a laundry room and bathrooms with showers. There is a food truck with burgers, hot dogs and tacos with some picnic tables out front. They weren’t listed on my Passport America app, but they did reduce our FHU cost from $20 to $16 w the Passport America discount. We did not have to make reservations when I called a few days ahead. There were plenty of spaces when we pulled in Wednesday afternoon. They also allowed us to have an Amazon order sent to their office and held it there for us w no additional charge. We picked it up when we got there. If you don’t stay the night, they do allow you to just dump your tanks and fill your fresh water for $10 or shower for $5/person. They had wifi, but the lady in the office said they were having some trouble w it and it wasn’t very good. We didn’t end up trying it. We had great Sprint and Verizon coverage. I was able to easily teach online video conference through the Sprint service. The train tracks are to the back of the campground. They were quite busy during the day. No one in our family noticed them throughout the night, but we are all heavy sleepers. The trains do not blow there horns through here. They are just trundling by. If you park up towards the office building, you could put a little more distance between yourself and the tracks. Overall, this was a great place to stay a night after our week of boondocking at Indian Bread Rocks. We highly recommend this campground.

For $21 a night for full hookups, (that included tax) we were ok with listing to the very close train tracks noise. It’s pretty loud. I was woken up four times at night, but I’m a very light sleeper. Another family member who sleeps with ear plugs didn’t hear them at all. I’ll attach a photo to show how close the tracks are.
The laundry is $1.75 each to wash/dry. There are bathrooms and showers. Hosts are really nice and attentive. There are a few permanent looking set ups, but they’re on the outskirts. They make jerky here and when they’re smoking the meats you end up salivating every time you’re outside.

Some confusion around the address: the directions here on Campendium take you to the right place. If you type in Mountain View RV Park or Resort it directs you to a place a few miles down the road. It doesn’t help that there are two signs here one says Dwayne‘s RV park, and behind it is another sign in smaller letters that says Mountain View RV park. So look for Dwaynes and the jerky shop and you’ll be in the right place.

We were going to stay 2 nights to get ready to boondock on the nearby BLM land. Stayed for 6 because it was a neat little place that we could get some mail and a package or 2.
We indulged in some jerky, peanut brittle, fudge and a pecan pie for our Thanksgiving in Indian Bread Rocks dispersed camping.
The laundry was ok, not great but usable for sure. The host Tom, was a very nice man and helpful.
There was a train route relatively close but they didn’t blow the horn so it wasn’t bad for us.

This CG is a small gravel lot behind a beef jerky store. It’s easy to get to from the freeway and flat. Perfect overnight spot to get back in the road. No picnic tables and area is very sparse and a bit dusty. I was driving 5mph and another camper told me to slow down because I was kicking up dust!
Also, there is a food truck parked next to the store and the food looked good!

Stayed here one night due to Bonita Campground at Chiricahua NM being full. It was a clean and flat gravel lot. All sites were pull through with full hookups. The sewer dump at each site is kind of weird and difficult to get a nice ramp down with the hose but we made do. Staff was very friendly. Laundry wasn't too expensive: $1.75 wash, $1.25 dry, butane had to dry twice. We were unclear whether the showers are free or not. They advertise various prices if you're just needing of services in addition to the camping prices. For instance a dump and fill is $10 but included if you're camping. Showers were advertised as $5. The bathrooms were locked at some point.

The lot is pretty noisy though from train traffic all night. Wifi worked well until 6pm or so at which point we weren't able to connect back to it until morning.
