Part 2: Days 22 - 26
 |
| Tucson Lazy Days registration, meeting rooms and restaurant. |
We chose Denny's on the east side of Interstate 10 for a late breakfast (I love a restaurant that serves full breakfasts all day), and then picked up a few last minute things at the Walmart Superstore next door. Large store parking lots are a perfect place to park an RV.
 |
| Our first location was a large pull-through patio site with full hook-ups. |
We added two days to our original reservation when we revised our plans due to weather concerns. In order to do that, we had to change sites part way through our five day stay.
 |
| Sites covered by solar panels are unique, but we wanted sun. |
There are lots of activities and they have a BBQ restaurant we visit twice during our stay. BBQ Rush smokes their own meats fresh daily. The portions were huge and the pork ribs were some of the best I've ever eaten.
 |
| There are two pools, a game room, activities and lots of things to do. |
February 25-27: After breakfast on the third morning, we prepared the RV to move to another section of the park. Our new site had grass, privacy shrubs and a portable fire ring. Other than that, the size and amenities were the same. For an additional $7 a night it was worth it.
 |
| Our second site had a grass patio with privacy shrubs. We liked even better. |
 |
| The private park and pond area. |
For extra entertainment there were jets and classic warbirds performing maneuvers with the Heritage Flight Training Course at nearby Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
Lazy Days is a true Snowbird experience, but that's not a bad thing. We'll be back in Part 3 of our Snowbird RV Adventure to pick up our RV, and again next year. We're hooked on their hospitality. -- Wayne and Margy

Your whole trip looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteBoth parts one and two have been great. Now it's time to start heading back north for the summer months and life up the lake and boating. We will go to Arizona again next year I'm sure. - Margy
DeleteHello, sounds like a great place to visit. I would like to spend a few months in the warmer weather exploring the park and area. Enjoy your day, have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThat is why we went south. The cold rain that welcomed us back to Bellingham let us know we'd made the right choice to spend some time in the south this year. - Margy
DeleteThat sounds like a great park; even if you did have to move spots after a few days.
ReplyDeleteWe really liked it, and it gave us a feel for what long-term Snowbirders do. - Margy
DeleteNice park. I am counting the days down until we get to Mexico to see some warmer weather, although, we have gotten far more sunny days in February than in January
ReplyDeleteWe used to love to go to Baja when we lived in California. Have a great trip. - Margy
DeleteLooks like a nice RV park with lots of amenities.
ReplyDeleteMany Arizona parks are like this. They have to be to attract the long-term visitors from up north. - Margy
DeleteSo many people are on vacay this month.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for summer.
It's a good time, then we can stay at home for the warmer summer months. - Margy
DeleteMargy - as we spend more time in retirement, I hear about more and more people that are doing this long-term "camping". A great way to see the country from one spot. I am encouraged that they are using solar panels to create clean energy and provide shade. Neat idea!
ReplyDeleteOur RV is solar ready, but we haven't added a panel. - Margy
DeleteLooks like a pretty good park.
ReplyDeleteIt is. We will be going back for sure. - Margy
DeleteDear Margy, thank you for sharing your amazing trip!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea using solar panels in camping area!
Have a nice week
Arizona gets so much sun you see them almost everywhere. - Margy
DeleteWe camped a lot as a kid and I always loved KOA's because they had a pool. Now I rarely even swim in the pool if I have one. The most important thing is that the temp is warm enough for a pool. That's the kind of place we like to be. Like Tucson!
ReplyDeleteI camped a lot as a kid, but we usually stayed in places that had streams and lakes for swimming. - Margy
DeleteWe stayed at Lazy Days the first time in Tucson, but the next two at Voyager (since the near airport location wasn’t a concern). Enjoyed them both ... and the snowbird experience certainly isn’t a bad thing. We liked the combination of more social winters (with a lot of exploring on our own thrown in), with our quieter summers back in Oregon. Still do actually!
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few really nice parks in Tucson, plus some nice state and regional parks. I am sure we'll do much like you, winter in the south and summer back home in the north. - Margy
DeleteTwo pools. That, I could like. :-)
