Before writing this review, I need to give some information about us and our trailer, which is…read moresomething Scott and Duke at Paradise RV did not afford us the opportunity to do. We are full-time mobile living in a fully self-contained off-road RV trailer (kimberley kamper). Our camper has no black tank and has a composting toilet. We had to come back to Phoenix for a funeral and to move things to and from our storage unit that is right around the corner from this RV Park. We have a dog, and the temperatures are still in the low 100s, so needless to say, we needed 30 amp electrical hookup to run our AC efficiently. We originally planned to stay nearby at the Sunflower RV Resort (where we stayed in April 2023), but their office was closed for lunch. While waiting, we called Paradise RV Resort to see if they have any open spaces. They did, and they were $200 less for the two weeks we planned to stay. So we decided to go over to check out their facilities. We had already talked to Janet on the phone and told her we had previously stayed at the Sunflower RV Resort but thought we may try their location while in town. We looked around at the amenities and our potential site they were going to assign to us, and it seemed very similar to Sunflower RV park, just a little older. When we returned to the office with the intention of staying there, we were immediately confronted by Duke (in the front office), basically accusing us of trying to sneak in a trailer that they don't accept. He said we couldn't stay there because "we are not self-contained." We said we are the epitome of self-contained and were wondering how he drew that conclusion. He asked if we had a black tank, and we said no, we have a composting toilet but do need grey water hook-ups in addition to the water. He said exactly, "That's why we don't take trailers like yours." He added that he called Sunflower RV Park, and they won't take us either. We asked him if he was calling us a liar about staying there earlier this year, and he stammered around the question. So basically, he not only was calling us a liar, but he was trying to keep us from having an alternative place to stay. We asked to speak to his manager, who ended up being Scott. Turns out Scott had seen our truck and trailer outside when we first arrived and assumed we were a homemade trailer and didn't want us at his facility. Instead of asking us some basic questions or looking at our trailer for himself, he apparently sicked his dog (Duke) on us to get rid of us. Our trailer is an Australian made overland trailer shipped to a dealer in the US before being delivered to US customers. In the end, Scott apologized and kinda handled the situation professionally and invited us to stay. But with the unwelcoming mat that was laid out for us, we chose not to stay at Paradise RV. We subsequently returned to The Sunflower RV Resort, where we knew it was nice. They looked at our trailer and welcomed us back with friendly smiles. We do not recommend anyone to stay or have to deal with Paradise RV Resort, but we do recommend going down the street to the newer RV park, Sunflower RV Resort. I also feel that both Scott and Duke would benefit from some needed customer service training. They desperately need it.

Super Basic. I visited my bf when he was in Surprise for the 2025 MLB Cactus League Spring Training…read moreat Surprise Stadium and he stays in the dry camping area of the RV Park. The RV Park is fairly close to the Texas Rangers/Kansas City Royals Surprise Staffing BB Park, like a 5 minute drive. I only used the Ladies Room but not the shower and the bathroom is kept clean and stocked with TP, paper towels and soap. The bathroom is one at a time use, has a shower, sink, toilet, chair, 2 mirrors and a 2 socket outlet with secure locking door. They give you a hard key for access. I never had to wait to get into the bathroom. I peaked in the shower and I guess it would do in a pinch with flip flops if you had to, however, it was clean - just older with a cloth shower curtain. I'm not a full time RV-er like he is and prefer to use the bathroom facilities outside of the RV. He likes the dry camping area for the price which I'm not sure how much it is. There's a fair amount of traffic at busy times on the main road that runs parallel to the RV Park and a train that goes by in the evening and maybe a couple times per day but neither bothered me. Otherwise it's very quiet RV Park. It's VERY dry and desert (dirt) like at the Park but there's gravel to keep the dust down. I added photos of the Ladies Room and the Park including the dry camping area which is basically a dirt alley along the wall with a single row of RVs. The weather was not too hot, only one day was really hot and it's chilly today, otherwise the weather has been very nice. (Full Disclosure: I considered 81°+ hot, lol. I love the cold weather & he loves the hot weather). I was here for 6 days, 2/26/25 to 3/4/25, so it's a good time to come before the heat arrives. We were lucky enough to see the Budweiser Clydesdales horses, wagon and Dalmatian dog yesterday at the BB Park yesterday. The RV Park sits in an older neighborhood but I felt safe. Surprise is a newer side of town with lots of restaurants and nice grocery stores like Fry's. I added a ton of photos. Hope this helps you if deciding to visit.

As it's a short term spot, we did not have a picnic table, but we did notice on our walks that they appear to have some in other, lots, most likely for longer stays. We found the landscaping to be very well maintained! make sure to bring your longer cables and such as the pedestal is quite a distance from the back of the pad, however, they do have a rule that your RV must be at least 26 feet long (we are a tad longer), so hopefully your cord is long enough if you have one our size. Ours was long enough with no slack. Everything operated correctly and we really appreciated the fact they put us in a slot where we didn't have neighbors directly next to us so it was a nice quiet week. My favorite spot was the pool and my pictures simply do not do it justice because it was busy all the time with pool volleyball, water, aerobics, and such . The chairs are very comfortable and they were very attentive to ensuring everything was in order when people left. I posted the schedule for the week, but there are tons of things going on here! We did go over to the bar and grill at the golf course but it was a little awkward as you have to leave the park And then come back in, lol. It would've been a lot easier just walking over there. We didn't have time to try any of the food but we did have a glass of wine and a beer and the total was $10 so pricing is very reasonable and the bartender, Pepsi, was super friendly. They do have some type of bar and grill that they open when there are events in and around that area but nothing that was open on a regular basis It really is a large park and there are a lot of different mini communities. It seemed as it looks like they had a new section every so often. It looks like they were beginning new construction for yet another neighborhood. There are also a lot of areas to just relax and sit with a group around the fire pit or chat. We noticed there were folks sitting in circles with instruments having a jam session as well as people putting puzzles together, reading books, and just in general having fun. They seem to have a very strong social network We did order a propane refill and honestly, the guy was one of the nicest people we've ever had out for service! Super easy we called the day before and they swing through the neighborhood and fill at the appropriate time assigned There is some noise from nearby, Luke Air Force Base, so just be prepared for that All in all, we had a really nice experience, and would definitely return! Everyone was really friendly to us.

Josh walked him thru the back up and they did it on the 1st attempt. Love the staff and this is our 1st experience at staying in a park! The grounds are well kept and quiet.

I didn't have a reservation and knew I'd be arriving late and leaving early in the morning. When I called, the voicemail greeting clearly explained how to check in. It didn't make total sense at first, but when I arrived after hours, everything was perfectly organized. A registration packet with a map and an envelope for payment or credit card info was waiting at the office. I truly appreciate this honor system, it shows a level of trust and integrity from the owner that's rare to find. This place has it all: full hookups, showers, a pool, and even a jacuzzi. The guests here are super friendly, it really feels like a whole other community. Since I was already gone by morning, the staff emailed me a receipt as soon as they got into the office. Their check-in and check-out process is impressively automated. Thank you, Desert Shadows RV Resort, for an awesome experience!

Facilities are kept clean and I have seen annual upgrades to the park that have been substantive and of benefit to all residents. The parks proximity to shopping in Surprise, Arrowhead and Glendale Entertainment districts with their Restaurants, Stadiums and recreation opportunities make it a ideal spot. Trips out of town ae made easier with its proximity to the 101, which connects to either I17 or I10 and Grand Avenue down the Street the it's time to head to Vegas for a weekend getaway , lol. All in all the management does it's best to address common issues in the park and some of their programs like the Tuesday night Food Trucks that visited the park all through the summer, monthly outings and breakfast are great. The park has a resident council that puts out a monthly newsletter and calendar so events are easy to participate in. The Park also offers a large Recreation Clubhouse with Library, Pool tables and big screen Tv's for Game Days. Secure Mailboxes and an on site office with free notary are a plus. The heated pool has been a wonderful benefit always clean and comfortable and music plays in the background 24/7. Friday night Bingo in the Clubhouse is open to the public and has become a fine event drawing a regular crowd. So in a complicated world I enjoy life here at Apollo village and feel confident recommending it to anyone looking for alternative housing in a ever more difficult world for seniors.
