EOT RV Park what’s the scoop?

[Dusty Boddems]

Looking at the old WR site I see about 4 different RV parks. Any better than others? Closer etc.? We have a class A  that we need to find a spot for .

Hi Dusty,

We've been staying at the Ben Avery Clays center. Full hook ups, close to the range. Ben Avery has a few campgrounds, there's one behind the parking for EOT, but if it rains that becomes a mess. The east campground has dry camping with really nice sites or electric and water no sewer. There's a dump station within the campground. All of Ben Avery's sites are reserved online. Make the reservations sooner than later, everything fills up.

Many folks stay at Pioneer RV park. It's only a couple of miles from the range. https://www.arizonarvresorts.com/Pioneer

 

Looking forward to seeing you at EOT!

We have always stayed in BASF East campgrounds in dry camp...so I can not offer good or bad on existing places.

I do know there are several close by...

Being South of Deer Valley will mean traffic...

Here are a few to check into.

Dessert Eagle looks to be a win-win... they speak about BASF and are shooting sport friendly, from looking at their website.

Good luck.

Check with Pioneer...they had the past few years required a month stay/pay...I don't know if that still holds true.

Thank y’all very much. This points me in the right direction.

I've stayed at Lake Pleasant a couple of times.  It's about 20 minutes from Ben Avery.  Water and electric with a dump site on the way out of the park.  Really nice, clean park.

Thanks for that info.

I was not sure they had hook ups.

Oh yes, they have water and electric.  Nice clean showers, walking trails, and fairly spread out sites.  It was something like $30/day.  Several cowboy shooters stay there.  My wife had the pups out walking while I was shooting.  Can get busy on the weekends at times but we enjoyed it.

The park has a rolling 6-month window for reservations.  Reservations for the EOT time frame will start in early September.  Read the site descriptions before booking.  Some warn of steep entries and unlevel pads.
