3.5/5 stars overall…read more We were looking at RV Parks in Show Low, AZ area and came up with only 2 that fit our needs but on different ends of the spectrum. One was a bit upscale with lots of activities but less trees or nature. The other was Rainbow Forest RV Park. The park claims to be in the largest stand of Ponderosa Pines in the world. It is natural and tons of trees. It is close to Rainbow Lake. The sites were not as large though and there were almost no amenities and no organized activities. It is a beautiful place and would be an amazing place to stay. Rainbow Forest RV Park is a good choice to stay. It all depends what you are looking for in a park.

I'm sharing details of how the POA Board handles issues so for anyone who might be interested in…read morebuying a lot here, you will know what to expect. You may end up with a neighbor that has no pride in their lot and no recourse. Buyer beware. I'm giving two stars because most of the people who live in here take care of their property and treat people with respect. My issue: I have a neighbor with an old fading travel trailer parked next to me. In the 5 years I've been here, he has been here maybe 3-4 times to clean up weeds on his lot. On the back of the trailer in view of my lot, the owner has rebar sticking up out of the ground with chicken wire that's falling down, weeds that don't get cleaned up, peaches that fall from the tree and left to rot, piles of stored debris (border pavers and cement blocks). If the construction materials were there because work was being completed, I would be okay. They've been piled up in the same spot for at least the 5 years I've owned this lot in the 5' setback. I sent an email to the board to request it be cleaned up. Their reply after sending 4 emails was that he is not out of compliance with any CC&Rs and just because it's unsightly to me is not a reason for him to clean up the mess. I was totally dismissed and their excuse for not doing anything is they are volunteers. If they don't want to do the job required, they shouldn't volunteer. I was also told that the property management company should be who I contact. Prior to this, I did contact the property management company, they told me the POA board is who should handle the issue. I tried calling the HOAMCO company again with no reply from them either. What it boils down to is nobody will step up and do the job they were elected or hired to do. When I return next season, if the mess is still there, I will be erecting a privacy fence on my border to hide the mess. Of course then the POA board will tell me I'm out of compliance. Just to clarify, the mess is out of compliance with CC&Rs in 3 different paragraphs as well as the Architectural Guidelines (related to Wildlife Harborage).
