Munds Park RV Resort

We are full-time RVers from AZ looking to find a cooler climate to spend the hot summer away from Phoenix area. We called Munds Park RV 3/13/23 & they told us they had a couple RV sites w/full hookups remaining for June-Aug in brand new phase opening this year. We had stayed at Munds Park for a month years ago in an older phase & enjoyed it for most part so decided to go for it! We did their required first step & paid $30 ($15 per RV occupant) to run background checks. Once cleared, we completed an application, provided copies of our drivers licenses, proof of insurance and 2+ pics of RV & paid/received receipt for $850 (1st month rent). Never heard anything more from them so 2 weeks prior to our 6/1/23 check-in (which aligned w/their policy to be able to cancel for a refund less a $250 fee), we called to check status & confirm reservation. They said everything in new phase set & good to go! On 5/31/23 we packed up RV to disconnect/pullout the next morning from the park we spent May at & head north to Munds Park for 3 months of cooler weather! BUT @ 5pm (only 19 hours before our scheduled & confirmed check-in), Munds Park calls us indicating we would not have sewer or water hookups as they are having issues w/County approving those connections in the new phase. We were told they didn’t know when those approvals would occur. Instead trucks would come thru a couple times/week to fill RV water tanks and pump out waste tanks. Problem is, we paid for convenience of full hookups & no discount for lack of sewer/water connections would be given. Our issue wasn’t so much the delay in getting approval (as we know how dealing w/govt agencies can be) but rather that Munds Park never made an earlier courtesy call to alert us of the situation nor did they even mention it when we called 2 weeks prior; Instead they gave us less than a 24-hour notice! Of course at this late date everything in Flagstaff area is booked solid w/waiting lists (which they, of course, knew & were simply counting on folks feeling stuck/desperate which is probably why they waited last minute to notify us). It’s just inconsiderate and sneaky on their part! We decided to go ahead & they did issue a full refund except the $30 in credit report fees. We drove by the park a couple times on 6/5 and from I17 the new phase is very close to the interstate, no trees/shade & doesn’t look complete & inviting (especially for a 3-month stay)… so glad we cancelled! Should you decide to book a reservation here, just beware and ask what phase you’ll be in, confirm hookups and make sure you’re getting what you’re paying for!!!

We've stayed here many times over a decade or more. The pros: Lots of tress for shade, spacious sites, clean facilities. The cons: Facilities are for the most part clean such as the pool area and bathrooms, however they don't check sites in between those coming and going. It would be nice if they would wipe down the picnic tables and benches as well as pick up the area. Some people leave trash, beer cans, etc.. behind that the next person coming in has to clean up. The wi-fi, cable, antennae connections don't give you anything! So if it's raining or too cold to be outside don't count on using your t.v. unless you have your own source. The noise from the freeway is loud and constant, especially for sites #7-#17 where you don't have a sewer connection only water and electric.
It would be great if a developer opened something up in northern Arizona, Sun Outdoors perhaps! There are so many people wanting to get out of the valley heat during the summer, but limited options for cooling off up north.

We were traveling from SD to Yuma, AZ and it was not easy finding campgrounds or boondocking. This campground was right on our route hwy 17 and they were open for reservations for a few more days then they close for the season. We booked a 30 amp water/electric pull thru. Lots of trees with big limbs so you need to be careful parking your rig and with slideouts and awnings. This is a big RV park and I'm sure it is a busy place in season. The sites are very tight and close together. This RV park worked for us for a one night stay and we'd stay one night again but probably not any longer.

Stayed here because all the reviews of the RV parks further up the road in Flagstaff were negative. Munds Park is surrounded by national forest with direct access from this park, so it seemed there was a constant stream of ATV's and UTV's driving by at all hours. Our site was supposed to be 50 amp, but my new Newmar power management system would only allow 30 amps from the 50 amp plug in. This was only my second time out in the new coach, so I didn't push it when the park management insisted it was good for 50. 4 months later that has never happened again, so I'm pretty sure the park wiring was suspect. I had the last available site which was between 3 large trees....made it in and out with no problem, but there were a lot of residents watching and expecting some excitement! This park may be great for some people but is too noisy for us.

July 14, 2019: Heading from Tucson to Colorado; nationwide heatwave; was gonna stay in Cottonwood to make for a short driving day, but called ahead and they had a same day opening, so decided to keep going and add some elevation to our trip (about 6460' elevation here). Still it was 85 when we arrived, but much cooler than So. AZ. Tall trees around each site brings nice shade. Park is just West of I-17. Fairly easy to get into. Many Class A and larger 5th wheels here. Site 8 is a pull thru site with water and electric. $42 per night includes tax. Dump station will be $10 for us when we leave. Pool, jacuzzi, laundry room nearby. A small amount of freeway noise; site 17/18 closest to freeway. Nice little community with many full time/seasonal trailers; daily activities. Perfect for us when Tucson is 103 at 6:30pm!
