About Us

A quieter stop on the
long road.

Desert Lakes Adult RV Park sits on the edge of the Coconino National Forest, where ponderosa pines cast long shadows over full-hookup RV sites. We're an adults-only community — no kids' playgrounds, no loud parties — just a calm, well-maintained park where travelers come to rest between adventures.

Whether you're passing through on a cross-country run or settling in for a week of creek fishing and mountain hikes, our site offers reliable water, 30/50-amp electrical, and sewer hookups. Wi-Fi is available if you need to check in with the world — or just stream a documentary around the campfire.

Guest Words

What travelers say.

"We stayed two weeks while exploring the White Mountains. The sites are level, the hookups worked perfectly, and the quiet atmosphere was exactly what we needed. Our dog loved the nearby trails."

— Regular guest

"Finally, an RV park where we can actually relax. No loud music, no kids running around at midnight. Just peaceful mountain nights and friendly neighbors. We've come back every season since."

— Seasonal resident

"Stopped here for one night on a road trip and ended up staying three. The location is perfect — close enough to town for groceries, far enough to feel like you're truly in the woods. Will definitely return."

— Passing traveler
