We had a hard time finding a campground for under 55 in Phoenix. This place took us. The sites are a bit crowded. Hard to back in. There's a mechanic shop next door that is very loud during the day. The park is very residential. The WI-FI was spotty. No cable. It's in the airport landing pattern. To top it all off, the street out front is full of vagrants because there's some sort rehab center a couple driveways down. I wouldn't stay here unles you're forced. read more

We came for softball from Friday to Sunday. This is a very clean place, bathrooms are super clean, each bathroom stall has its own shower. You park your rv next to concrete pad and on top of rock covered driveway which means you don't bring in dirt inside your rv which is a big plus. You will be in the middle of the city so you have many amenities near by. It's quiet at night. Spaces are perfect, each space has their own picnic table And an outdoor BBQ grill. So all you need is charcoal to cook your meat. The manager is very friendly, we saw him throughout the park cleaning up here and there. We would stay here again. read more

Unfortunately their stars are going to go down which is unfortunate because it could have been a great stay. I rarely write bad reviews, only if its something I feel is really important other which this is. So I will start with the positives. Location is on the outskirts of Tempe so although you cant walk anywhere good; the light rail is across the street so you can take that where ever it goes. 2nd, The spots were level and the park was clean. So why 1 star: Mud & debris in the water lines. The first morning my sinks stopped working. So I disconnected my hose & dark water came out of my brand new EVO water filter. I was curious so took it apart. About an 1/8 to 1/4 inch of mud was coating my filter so sinks stopped working obviously no water was getting through. But the filter did its job so thats why you always use one. Talked to management and they said too bad, thats your problem. They told me they had a water main break in their park. They fixed it but they didnt blow out all the dirt, rocks, mud, & debris that went in the pipes at the break so all campers downpipe from there got screwed. My rig and the rig next to mine took that hit, & the one next tom mine didnt have a filter so he had tyo take all his plumbing fixtures apart. I am sure others in the park did too but I didnt speak to them. I was super nice, had to break down camp, drive 30 miles to rv world, get a new filter, drive back, and reset up camp. They wouldnt give me a refund for the remaining days and let me leave to go to another park. So I went to the office the next day and a different, not nice lady, was there. I asked if they would pay for my water filter. It was 19 bucks for the replacement filter, she said no even though they agreed they caused the damaged. Said Thats my problem. Second reason, if they say they have wifi they dont. They have 4 receivers which constantly dont work per office and maintenance staff. When I asked about it they said they have been working on it for weeks. Third reason advertised cable. When you turn it on it says to call to order cable. So I guess they have access to it but you dont actually get cable. Thats it, my review. I have lots a great rv campgrounds I can recommend. This is not one of them. Happy Trails hope this helps joe read more

Woman who answers the phone having a bad life. Asked me what my service animal was for...then said it didn't matter because they do not charge for small dogs...then why ask!!!???!!! I ask her why she asked and she refuses my reservation! Stay away from these people! Yes, much better places to stay in the Valley. The lost art of customer service - highlighted at this location. Stay at your own risk! read more

I would give them a 4 star review because I like the online registration and the price is reasonable for the location but my big gripe is that they have WiFi but don't give you the password to connect. This is the second time I've stayed for a trip through Tempe and haven't had access. BUT that being said, I feel safe when I stay there. read more

I"ve been staying with Apache Palms RV Park for over a month now and I"m very happy with the park. It's quiet and you can barely hear the light rail (it's just a cute little beep, beep) and I"m about 4 rows in from the street. The office is quick to respond with my questions and Mark the maintenance guy is friendly and happy to help with anything. I"m hoping to stay as long as I can. It's nothing glamorous but it's clean and the location to get around town is GREAT. Love it that's it's my happy home right now. read more

This place is really great for the price. Plus there is a light rail station right across the street so you can go anywhere without a car. Be nice to the staff no matter how they act towards you and they will bend over backwards for you. Don't let the surrounding community deter you as it is very "ghetto" with lots of abandon buildings and nice new buildings mixed in. With the Tempe police station across the street and a decent fence on the back & sides this place is safe. I haven't seen anything stolen or vandalized and talked to long time residents and they haven't either. Wifi is non existent. They have 4 routers and non of them ever work. So don't plan on using it. Free Cox cable tv is horrible and pixelated, but I have never had luck with cable company tv. They desperately need shade over at least part of the pool in the summer. Afternoon sun is the devil. Still a great price, location, and well maintained. read more

We have stayed at Apache Palms RV Park for many years, but I will not stay there any more. It's an okay park, but today as we were ready to leave, we got a call from the front office telling us that we have stayed past the checkout time! Five minutes after 11:00! It's not like there were lines of RVs waiting to get in. In fact, there were several vacant spaces. It just left a bad taste in my mouth. The front office is the problem. read more

Add me to the crowd. This place sucks. Some nice snowbirds, but otherwise just a dirt pad to park the RV. No one expects great WiFi at an RV park, but I was parked right under the antenna and was not able to log on once in 7 days. OWNERS: Save yourself some money and quit pissing people off by getting rid of it! It doesn't freaking work! Tempe is a pretty upscale part of Phoenix Metro area, but if there is a ghetto this place is in the center of it. read more

This RV park is in the middle of Tempe, but aslo right in the middle of a bad part. There are so many homeless people wandering around at all hours. The light rail is right outside the park, but I saw several people using drug pipes while waiting for the train. Not the best park to be at with children. While the bathrooms are clean, there is hardly any ventilation and they are extremely hot inside by the end of the day. The ladies in the office seem to have more off days than good days. They require a code to get into the bathrooms and say you will get it weekly by email, but I never received a single email in almost a month. We always had to stop in the office to get it. If you need WiFi for kids, school, or work, don't bother staying here. You will only get a signal in the middle of the night. Great if you are an insomniac, otherwise not so great. They have a laundry room on site that has reasonable rates, but you can only fit half as much in as normal. Plus, the long-term residents tend to leave their items in the washers/dryers past when they are done and keep others from using the machines. The pool is OK, but very small. Lots of cigarette butts lying around, and cups with left over alcohol in them. Once again, not great if you have kids. There is nothing else to do in the park, so you are forced to find entertainment outside the park. I only give 2 stars for cleanliness and for being in a central location close to the 101, 202 and 60. read more

This small RV park is is great & so clean and neat because of David who has been there about 5 months and takes pride in his work maintaining the park, always ready to help new arrivals park & answer your questions. Cleans and tests the pool daily which is great to lounge in & meet travelers of different locations. The regulars are nice as well. The on going complain in reviews is the office manager which I have to agree is the problem at park. I tried to be extra nice because she was so curt but I would ask a question and she wouldn't even look at me or answer, the owners are absent if you wanted to speak to them. A reviewer had said that it was a poor part of town with empty lots I beg to differ, the only lot empty lot is owned by park and is used for dog walking but just loose gravel. The street is filled with new apartment buildings that are quite modern & nice. Do stay and enjoy this park the Metro which dings when passing and I think it's part of the charm. I saw no homeless or noisy people mostly students & the Metro is in front of park so I was able to go to museums and Tempe Town Lake which has boats to rent so fun! The Tempe Center for the Arts ( Wednesday musicians gather for open mic night) & Papago park which has the heritage museum, Zoo, Hall of flame, Tempe town center is full of attractions & Harkens theatre which now sells alcoholic drinks while you are watching films. There's a plane route which crosses behind park so you're able to watch smaller planes pass. This simple park has two bathrooms with showers and laundry which work well. I didn't use the WiFi or television so can't comment but never been in a RV park that did have good coverage anyway. So put your feet up at the pool which is kid friendly jump on the rail for $2 check out. Update to come... read more

My Husband and I wanted to park our RV here for a few months. I can't really put my finger on it but the employee basically told us that we could stay for maybe a week. I felt like she just didn't want us to stay. We found another RV park in the area and I drive by all the time now. I can see that they aren't full as she claimed they would be. It's a shame she is doing this.....I'm sure the owners would appreciate the business. read more

2.5 Stars This is my second visit.The staff is friendly and the park is clean and fine if you just want to have a place to park your rig. No shade. Amenities are minimal. Small pool, laundry, showers which I have never used. WiFi is advertised but doesn't work. It's so bad that you shouldn't even waste your time trying to connect it. I always end up on my phone! I come for Spring Training and I wish I knew of another RV Park near Diablo Stadium to try. read more

The manager was awful. She was extremely RUDE. We spoke to some of the other RV'ers there and they all had terrible things to say about her as well. We were given a code to the showers, and she took the code away, she said we miss-used the facilities, I had No idea what she was talking about, due to the fact, we never used them. It was embarrassing, so we cut our stay short and left. read more

I have been emailing several RV campgrounds in AZ, I asked a couple of questions and when this RV Park responded they wrote "NO WE DO NOT!! Nothing else to go with it!! I'm sorry if my couple of questions pissed you off, But, they didn't have to respond like that!! read more

Simple, clean and primitive site. The wi-fi didn't work so we used our hot spot. We met some very nice people and enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and the location isn't bad. Metro across the street and the Tempe Marketplace is down the road. Granted there is a dingy mobile home park next door, but we didn't have any issues. Uber and food delivery available too! Nice place to park for Spring Training and Mill Ave is 10 mins away. read more

Although we felt the advertising/website for Apache Palms was a bit misleading, we did find it to be a very clean, well managed, well manicured and even somewhat spacious (not crammed in on top of each other) RV camp. The cement pads were great - you step out of your trailer onto cement instead of dirt... that's nice. The pool was just right in terms of temperature - it might need a little more chlorine, but the Jacuzzi was perfect. A great place to stay in the middle of a busy Tempe, and very close to ASU and the metro. We would stay there again for sure. read more

In town for Spring Training and stayed there 2 nights. We selected this park for its proximity to the ASU campus and the associated restaurants, breweries, etc. Pros: The park is clean and maintained. We arrived after 4pm and the office was closed, but there were instructions posted and we had no problem finding our site, which was easily accessible. We had no interaction with the office which was fine. Wifi was good for us. Cons: Shortly after arriving, we noticed several police vehicles hastily approaching an RV parked just behind ours. Then out popped several armored SWAT officers, some with AR-type weapons, who shouted commands to the RV occupants. They arrested one man and, over the course of the next hour or so, conducted a thorough search of the RV. That was the extent of the drama, but it was not quite what we expected. Also, there were a number of long term tenants, some with somewhat run down RVs, as well as transients frequenting neighboring empty lots and a couple even cruising the RV park. To be clear, we never felt unsafe, but again, not what we expected. Lastly, despite the proximity to the ASU campus, there wasn't much in the way of food or entertainment within walking distance - at least anything an out of town visitor would be interested in. We tried anyway and, despite being comfortable in urban neighborhoods, found the area somewhat sketchy. All in all, it wasn't the worst place we've stayed at, but I don't think we'll come back. read more

Nice staff. We received a lot of packages at the office during our stay of 3 weeks. Not a lot of trees or anything but concrete. Spaces pretty darn close together. Ok pool area with small hot tub. Public bathrooms and showers clean. Ditto the laundry room. Wifi was really hit or miss...and that's with a booster! Pretty basic place...the Motel 6 of RV Parks. No real complaints, but absolutely to rave about either. Ho--hum! read more

Ignore the whiners. This is a perfectly fine park for a sort stay. Opt for the Elite sites to assure full hookups, picnic table, and pull through. Staff was more than accommodating and friendly. The grounds are kept immaculate. Someone is always racing, sweeping, or blowing. The showers are the nicest at any park I have seen; attractive tile and very clean. Even towels under the sink to wipe down surfaces for the next users--nice! The neighborhood is dramatically improved since 9 years ago, when we first visited. The new trolley has brought in new residences and retail space, which is somewhat vacant still, (probably awaiting the new residents). read more

Great park for spring training. Short walk to the MetroRail and other public transportation. Employees were fast and friendly. Park was clean and quiet. Next time I come to the Valley of the Sun I will stay here again. read more

This park is not a real good place to stay. Even if you are looking for just a place to park and hook up, it is in a lousy neighborhood, Seems like a ghetto, abandoned buildings, empty lots and just basically nasty. It was clean enough, but no real amenities to speak of. The pool is a joke and the WIFI is nonexistent. There reservation policy is also inflexible. We had to leave to travel home due to family issues, and they would not reduce our weekly rate, we had to pay for the full week to stay 3 nites. In actual fact, we only stayed 2 nites and headed out, because the place was in such a sketchy neighborhood. couldn't take a walk. It is also small so unable to do anything within the park. Not at all what we expected for Arizona. For the same money we found other places with full amenities, activities and meals. Absolutely no comparison. Staying here is a rip-off. read more

I liked it, well for the most part. It was quiet,clean,friendly. My only problem (and it's not their fault). Tempe seems to be turning into a getto. Lots of run down buildings, however the good news is the police station is directly across the street. I didn't have any problems nor did I hear of any. The price was great for our stay, the staff helped me park my 5th and went out of their way to be kind and helpful. The sites were wide and deep. I would absolutely stay there next year when we go to Tempe for spring training. I just hope the economy picks up and the town turns itself around. read more

We came here for a San Diego State University / Arizona State University football game. The overall campground is decent, nothing special. The restrooms and showers were fantastic, although the pool is somewhat small. The site is very reasonably priced. Only had two issues, the cable doesn't work without a box (And they wouldn't give us one as we were leaving on Sunday and their office is not open on Sunday), and the Wifi did not work. The light rail was extremely convenient to get around town. read more

We stopped here for two nights. The spaces are tight but the folks were nice. They said they had no larger spaces yet no one was in those spaces the entire time we were there? read more

We stayed in site 45 for a week. Based upon the web site, we expected WiFi. The service was spotty, inconsistent, and constantly knocking us off. I went to the office to report this poor service. They were aware of the poor WiFi in some sites and advised that we should come to the office and hook up to the network. If you decide to stay in this "resort" be aware that not all sites have WiFi. read more

Apache Palms is a dated but well maintained park. The park roads are just a tiny bit narrow on the curves, but large 45' motorhomes come and go without any significant problems. I had to back up to make one of the tight curves in my 40' MH, but fortunately I had disconnected while my wife went in to register, and we were able to make the turn into the park towing a 17' dingy by taking both lanes of the busy frontage road. ALL the roads are one-way, but some of big rigs HAVE to exit using the entrance, and it can make things "interesting" because motorhomes cannot backup when towing. The park has a pull-in area for registering at the office. It is marked for two rigs, but we pretty much filled both spots. They have all the normal things like a pool, laundry room, & showers, but all are small to tiny. There is no dog run, grass, or club house. The trees are too small to qualify as shade trees. The spaces are gravel with narrow cement pads. The public shower and laundry room is housed in a very small building that that's about the size of a good tool shed. The wifi was the most frustrating I've used at any park, which is one of the reasons for an "average" rating. Repeated frustration from waiting for pages to load, having the signal disappear, and restarting the computer was the daily cycle for three weeks. The wifi worked only enough to keep you trying. If a working internet is important then find another park , use up your own data, or be prepared to go to Hell for cussing. Have you ever read one of those reviews that starts out, "The staff was really great ...." ? Well, this isn't one of them. The problem seemed to come from one person who set the tone for some of the others, but one of the men was very nice and helpful. I want to emphasis that the one staff member NEVER said one thing that was wrong; she was just an expert at unintentionally raising your blood pressure by tone, body language, and abruptness. My wife and I discussed why she became such an issue for us, and we believe it was because we felt like if you tried to reason with her it could easily escalate into a verbal altercation. But as some reviewers said, you don't visit RV parks to be friends with the staff, but that doesn't mean they can't leave a burr under your saddle. Here are some examples of those burrs. After making our one-week reservation to have a chair lift put installed, an extreme heat wave set in that tried for the record of the most consecutive days of a 110 or higher. I phoned to see if we could get an early check-in to beat the extreme heat. As anyone who drives in extreme weather knows, this is a safety issue. (People died from being caught in the heat while we were there.) We had to travel across dessert mountains with one slow climb lasting for about ten miles (or so it seemed). Extreme heat is not good for radiator hoses, tires, etc., and break downs in a tin-box MH would mean hours on the side of the road under conditions not good for most living things, ... especially old people. She was unconcerned. Check-in was 11 AM. Period. Rules are rules. It would have been nice for her to have softened the "NO!" with an explanation, such as, "We'd be happy to accommodate you if we can, but all the spaces are booked and they might not leave much before check in ...." If that was in fact the case, but I've never seen every space leave minutes before check-out time. Even IF every space was rented, I'd bet a few of them would leave before sunup to beat the extreme heat. When we pulled in a few minutes after 11, we looked over the available spaces. Unfortunately she had already assigned us a space. After seeing the assigned space I went back into the office to ask for a better space for parking and exiting with our large MH, I was told it couldn't be switched. The space I wanted remained empty for two days. Asking for the space number on our paperwork to be changed appeared to be too much of a hardship. The poor customer relations didn't stop there. The internet problem caused the system to be down for protracted periods, when I phoned to check I was told I could use the cable inside the office, but was twice directed to an outside table when I appeared at the office. (Remember the extreme heat.) I used a lot of my jet-pack data while at this park. A refresher course in customer relations 101 might be in order. Would I stay here again? Only if my wife agrees to call the office to see it they've solved their internet problem. It gets old real fast to keep getting "No network found" in the middle of a major metropolitan area. read more

Due to the nature of my husband's work we travel last minute, so we had to call this place late Saturday night to try and find a monthly spot. We were told to pull into any open spot and we would deal with paying on monday. We pulled in late saturday night, and then realized we were in a weekly spot, so we called again and confirmed we were in a weekly spot. To be proactive, we moved our trailer on sunday to an open monthly spot to avoid moving late monday night after my husband got off work and to ensure the weekly spots were open to the weekly guests. When i went to pay monday morning the owner (also the person my husband talked to on sat and sun on the phone) was very rude to me stating we parked in a spot that is already taken. I apologized and explained we were told to pull into any available spot, which is what we did. She threw her hands in the air, sighed loudly, and told me i had to unplug and move immediately. I explained i couldnt as my husband was at work with our truck. She was very rude and upset as if this was my fault. If the business is concerned about others taking spots that are reserved they should let us know that rather than tell us to pull in anywhere available. She claimed there was an occupied sign on that spot, but there most definitely was not. We saw occupied signs on other spots, and avoided those, but there was not one on the spot we took. She then told me no parks take monthly reservations over weekends when the office is closed. Well I know this is not the case at other parks as I have never had this problem and we travel full time. Also, if their park is not equipped to allow monthly guests come in on weekends, she should have told us that when we first called on Saturday night and refused us service. But instead of telling her this, I stayed friendly, and continued to tell her about our dog to set up another "available" spot for the month. She said large dogs are no longer welcome. I have a large dog, and had called this park 4 months prior and were told our dog was allowed. We should have asked again upon this check in, but assumed their rules were the same as a few months prior. I apologized again and she said rudely - "I can change the rules whenever I want" - and I told her I understood. At this point I should have stopped being so friendly considering how she was treating me based on her incompetence of assigning spots to new comers. This situation could have been handled nicely on monday morning, such as "sorry that spot is taken, i should have assigned you a spot, but please move as soon as you can." Or she could have told my husband on the phone saturday "we dont take monthly reservations on weekends, please find another park" But appearantly treating people with respect is too difficult. I would like to give 2 stars because the park is clean, and apparently she was super friendly to my husband when he went to pay for our 2 days there. But since she was so rude to me, for no reason and despite my unnecessary apologies, 1 star it is. read more

Travelers beware! Very clean park, however appearance is very deceiving. Customer service VERY poor, rude staff that does not listen! Rent includes wifi that is nonexistent, Cox Cable TV that has very poor reception. When brought to the attention of the staff was told it was not their concern. After 4 months of living in the park with our 2 golden retrievers, the owner informs us that they do not allow big dogs. The staff was told at the time we moved in that we would have our doggy daughters with us and nothing was ever said that they did not accept big dogs, in fact the lady in the office told me that she loved goldens! Unfortunately I didn't read the Yelp reviews before choosing this park, will be far more careful in the future. read more

Small, clean in a don't touch anything kind of way. Tempe is a Mecca of RV'ing. There are truly dozens of parks in the area with thousands of places to park my rig. I can't think of any reason why I or anyone else would chose to park in one of theirs. The woman checking me was the most unfriendly and unwelcoming person I have met in a long time. My presence and the need to check me in was clearly an imposition I guess she found me personally offensive as well since she found it necessary to get up, walk into the room around the corner and return wiping her hands with a sanitary wipe after having to handle my credit card and proceeded to wipe down the pen I used to sign the credit slip. Right in front of me! Made me laugh. I was charged additionally for each of my 2 dogs. Something I have only encountered at hotels for unstable cleaning work. The wifi stinks, useless really. The surrounding area is not the best part of town. While on a short run I encountered lots of homeless and those nearly there. Some rough looking young people. I was there 1 night. Won't be back. read more

I had called and spoken to the maintenance supervisor about us moving out of our apartment and living in our 2014 travel trailer full time. I was aware that the website stated 1 pet, but he had said that the manager would have to approve it. He ALSO said he didn't see it as being a problem. I went into the facility and her rude ass was sitting on the chair eating her lunch. He got up out of the other chair and got behind the desk. I walked in, stated I had spoken to Mike and that we had two dogs that needed a manager's approval. Up until this point we had liked the park, it seemed quiet which we REQUIRE and she looked at us (obviously because we were under 55) and said "No, we don't take two dogs on a month to month basis. WHAT? You would allow two dogs other times but not on a MTM basis? I also happened to see how many sites were OPEN and BEGGING for business but she continued to eat her lunch and chomp cream corn at me. FIRST OF ALL, if a customer comes in YOU PUT YOUR LUNCH DOWN and deal with that customer. Secondly, I saw NO ONE out and about the RV park which was a HUGE turn on for me because I am looking to move out of the ghetto and into somewhere MUCH quieter. I don't see what the issue is. I pick up after them, I take them to the vet every year for their annual visit, they have their shots, they're quiet and no bother to anyone. Honestly I think she brushed us off because we were in our 40's and she thought we were party animals, and quite the contrary. We would have paid our rent on time if not early, done auto draft, stayed to ourselves and just enjoyed living in peace and quiet. I went across the street and rented a site from the Tempe Travel Trailer Villa to Dianne a MUCH more friendlier person and willing to accommodate. Her park needed some work anyway. read more

We stayed here around 10-12 years ago and had to leave in the middle of the night because the CO2 levels we're so high you couldn't breath. We just recently went back for the holidays and didn't realize it was the same park. The new management has done a remarkable job refurbishing the sites. They are immaculate, well maintained and relatively larger than before. It isn't a large park, but they have used the existing space very efficiently. The new pool and hot tub were a welcome respite from our long drive from CA. The park is in the center of town which made it exceptionally convenient getting around to the various family activities during the holiday. The laundry room was clean and had a plethora of local brochures for perusal. The newly renovated toilet/shower areas were immaculate and good size. They were unisex and single use with a locking door. Very private. This is a very popular park-make your reservations early. We tried to tack on a night but they were already full. read more

This seems like a 60's-ish campground, which was probably rural until Tempe grew up around it. Still, it was nicely set up, and the staff was quite friendly. The facilities were clean and well-maintained. If we needed to stay near Phoenix again, we'd happily return to this park. read more

Of all the RV parks we have stayed at across the U.S. we would say this one was our least favorite. Apache RV Park states that they are big rig friendly but it was real tight, we were very disappointed with our accommodations. Upon arriving we found that our 20 ft. of sewer hose was inadequate to hook up our black tank and went out and purchased an additional hose. There is virtually no green space and the sites are so close together that we were unable to extend our canopy out all the way. The pool was in very good condition and the water was very cool given the 100 plus degree temperatures, nice:) Prior to arriving we had 5 packages shipped in advance to the park. Two package arrived and we retrieved them, package 3 and 4 were derived there and somehow disappeared... UPS attempted to deliver the 5th package and it was refused delivery. We asked to leave earlier than our 18 day stay and were refused a refund. We were told there are no refunds, period end of conversation. We were very unimpressed with the office staff but found the two men working in maintenance to be very nice and helpful. The internet did not work for the first week we were there but then they were able to get it up and running but it cut out often, off more than on. My recommendation would be to stay at the local KOA camp in Mesa and avoid this park all together. read more

I have not stayed here but I called to make res. for 2 nights. person on phone evidently was ok but what I would like to comment on is their policy on vehicles age and pets. first off the vehicle age limits. I have an 89 Teton 5th wheel it has been completely redone on the inside, and is in very good shape on the outside. I was told in no uncertain terms that I was not welcome because my rv was too old. cant be over twelve years old. Now seems to me that that is discrimination against people that like older rv's. Just don't know why some places like this have to have such unfair rules. I can see if it had to be towed in or something like that, but come on lets lighten up a bit. Discrimination is alive and well and living in the apache palms rv park mesa ,az. read more

Lived at Apache Palms for many years. WIFI DOESN'T WORK consistently and is often inoperable. Angie and Barb (manager and owner, respectively) are very rude and unhelpful. You cannot get a site for $236 in the summer. Spaces are very tight and there are few spaces with any shade. Electricity is outrageously expensive as the park tacks on an extra fee to each monthly bill. Lots of dishonesty among the staff, so be wary. Although not the park's fault, this area of Tempe has become ghetto. Park is surrounded by low-income housing, a noisy auto repair shop, an adult book store, a no-tell motel, and a vacant lot used by locals to sleep and sell meth. The homeless and grifters also walk into the park after the staff have left and hustle to make money selling worthless stuff. There is no security at the park, and no staff after 5, so you're on your own, folks. Walked in on a guy sleeping in the laundry room recently. Others sleep in remote corners of the park. The police are frequent visitors to the park especially at night when young couples get into fights. The police station is NOT directly across the street as advertised. A student condo complex is directly across the street, but the police certainly know their way to the park! Read the other ads. I am by no means alone in my opinion about the area and staff, so please understand I am not trying to harm the staff or the owners. I just believe they can do a much better job treating their customers like... well... customers. Apache Palms has benefitted by the closing of many local rv parks who have sold out to condo developers. Since inheriting the overflow of business, the owner of Apache Palms can be very selective about who can -- and who cannot -- stay in her parking lot. There isn't much peace and quiet or even privacy to be had at The Palms anymore. I suggest you stay at a place that is eager to earn your money. Good luck and happiness in your travels. Be safe! read more

This place has the worst owner/manager, incredibly rude and inconsiderate and the park is located in a very bad neighborhood we did not feel safe at all. We checked in after hours and after driving all day we wanted to take a shower. I called the after hours number around 8:30 pm and the lady told me she didn't know the code and I'll have to wait till the next morning to take a shower. Really, you couldn't give me the code? What owner/manager doesn't know the code and what Rv park doesn't leave you that info knowing you're checking in after hours! Then about 9:30 she comes beating repeatedly on Rv door and when I open door she throws a piece of paper at me with the code and says here's the code. The next morning when I went to pay for the night I asked if we could stay another night and in spite she said no, even though there was vacancies. Poorly ran facility, I would never recommend or stay here again. read more
