So, we have stayed here every year for the past 3 springs for about a week at a time. It was expensive, but our good friends have a park model there and so we wanted to be close to them. I called in December 2020 for a spot for 5 nights in March 2021 and was told then they were only taking reservations for monthly stays, but to call back in January to see if that policy had changed. I called on February 22, 2021 and was told that it had not. The funny thing is, our friends who live there tell me that the park is half empty due to Canadians unable to travel this year because of the closed border. At first I thought, well...its because of COVID and they don't want short term transients in there leaving the virus. However, that doesn't make any sense as residents are renting their park models out on a weekend basis to whoever. The park is under new management, and its changed hands a few times in the past 3 years that we have been coming. They may not understand how 5 nights at $60 a night is more revenue for them than 5 nights at $0. Also, some of the sites along the fence are challenging to get into as they are old park model sites with water on one side and power and sewer on the other. Plus, big rigs parked across the narrow street make it even more challenging for trailers. The pool is very nice, its salt water and heated. Also, the laundry is large.

Called to ask about a weeks stay in February. They only take monthly reservations during February.

The nightly rate reflects the monthly rate + utilities divided by the number of days we were there. This was our first winter here and we have already booked our spot for next year. Far Horizons is geared more towards long term stays than short term visits with about 80% of the sites occupied with park models. There are a couple of rows dedicated exclusively to RV’s but the balance are interspersed with the park models. PROS * variety of activities - hiking groups, pickle ball, pottery, cards, trivia etc. * variety of facilities - pool, hot tub, gym, meeting rooms etc * access to the Loop (100+ miles of paved multi use trail) behind the park * close to Sabine Canyon/Mount Lemmon/Saguaro East * free Happy Hours 2x a week with live music * large, clean laundromat with clothesline’s available * recycling * community spirit - potlucks, street jams etc * walking distance to groceries, Kohl’s, Home Depot, restaurants * active & efficient managers * free Wi-Fi (speed variable) * no additional charges for guests CONS * small sites * parking lot feel - no spacing between sites * surcharge to use credit card * in town noises - sirens at night although road noise not noticeable during day * payment in advance for entire stay

This is a well run 55+ RV park in the heart of Tucson, We looked at the other “usual suspects” while here (Rincon East and West) and while each location has its pluses and minuses, Far Horizons is without a doubt in a much better central location than any other in-town RV Park. The facility is well managed and the staff has been very helpful, especially when we needed to extend our stay from one week to a full month to allow for some unplanned appointments. They even credited what we had already paid towards a relatively short stay towards the monthly rate when we decided we had to stay longer. The sites are a bit small and most will not accommodate a rig longer than 40 feet. We were in amongst the park models so we had a big “slab” of a wall on our camp side. While this provides for a very ugly view, it does provide for a lot more privacy than one usually gets in a private RV park. The clubhouse has all of the required amenities in terms of a pool, hot tub, tennis and pickle ball courts, game, card and puzzle room as well as a rock shop and ceramic area with a kiln. While there are plenty of short term visitors, the majority of the guests are seasonal snowbirds so there are plenty of organized activities and clubs. The site is located quite a ways back from the adjacent main road so it is very quiet by any urban standards. There are no highways or train tracks within hearing distance. The only intrusion on our peaceful enjoyment is the occasional military overflight from nearby Davis Monthan AFB. But the park is not located on any of the approach or departure alleys of either Davis Monthan or Tucson’s commercial airport so flights are very limited. Both Verizon and AT&T voice and cell data were excellent as is to be expected in an urban environment. The indicated rate is the daily rate. Our monthly rate was in the mid $700 range plus electric.

We were here on a free week from Cal-Am Resorts. Very nice staff and easy checkin. The pool area was large and very nice. Seemed to have lots of activities. The gym was small but adequate. The same can be said of the Library. There were 3 pickleball courts near the pool and 1 near the bike trail. The bike trail was excellent. Not sure how many miles it is, but runs north-south and we used it every day. The trail goes under major roads which adds safety.

There are mostly park models here, but there is also room for RVs. This is a large park with many winter activities going on. The park is very convenient for those with a motorhome who do not tow a vehicle. A Sprouts grocery store and a Home Depot are a ten minute walk. There is access to an extensive paved bicycle trail directly behind the park. Also, public bus stops are close by.
