    Tacos

    Every good food nice people music wasn't loud good atmosphere. And they have truck parking for 18 wheelers.

    The Arena for events

    Great view and people. Tacos on Monday, and other munchies. This place has been a home away from home for many years!

    This is a great place to stop if i need of refreshment in Benson. The bar sits directly beside a rodeo arena. They had several events scheduled for the week from roping to a full rodeo, sadly we missed any action on the day we stopped in. The bar its self is clean enough despite being as old as the hills. There is a weathered looking pool table and two horrible televisions that seem to be showing QVC and ESPN... hard to tell with all the static. Homemade beef jerky available if your hungry and/or brave. The great news is that this place has an old school liquor license that allows for patrons to take their drink anywhere on 4+ acre property. Also, the prices here are good and they have a decent selection. No complaints on the service.

    You can take your ice-cold beer outside without putting it in a cup, mosey on over to the bleachers and watch rodeo while drinking beer.

    Butterfield was our winter home for 5 years. We loved it there and met and made many friends. When…read morewe got there this year and we met Jeff and Tammy the new managers. They were great for a while, then they cut karaoke, as it was done on a volunteer basis, because of head clashes with activities Director Vickie, then yoga, over excuses. Then if you asked about these activities they wouldn't speak to you. On the website it says you must be fully self contained, but they have been letting people in with converted vans, they were not self contained, dumping pitchers of urine down the drain, throwing the number 2 in the trash, not saying anything for trash being outside for 2 days in a pile, but yet we are the problem They will say that we broke rules, accused of my wife using the pool, though she hasn't been back since we left. They say we keep coming back to harass workcamping staff. None of that is true. The ones who left have been coming for years and have many friends in the park. Friends that have became family. We have lots of friends, some who no longer can get help from me as I got banned. For lies of speeding and using pool. Not true, at our new park we have a pool, why would I speed where many Friends live, why would I jeopardize that. But that was in email. We were told all guest must be approved by management, but they had open invitation to karaoke, at dances they let public come, as well as bingo. They changed the park for the bad. If you disagree with them you are considered hostile. Her favorite line is end of discussion before you get to ask the question. We moved to another park because we couldn't wait until May 7th to see if we were going to be allowed back, all of my docs are in Tuscan, as a disabled combat veteran I need to know I have a place to stay for the winter. They did away with the right of first refusal going away severely hampers patrons quality of life. And creates a lack of guarantee for the park of 6 months worth of income. They have so many work campers right now that it's crazy, they are having people fix and paint picnic tables. For 172 sites that's about 2 weeks work, they have 2-3 people doing maintenance most days, They have trimmed the trees and they look good. I miss being at Butterfield but I can't stay in a park where the manager won't take a few minutes to answer questions, and only hear one side of the story. Like I said they were great when we first got there in October. She will say we are part of a group, we are not part of a group, I do things because I want to not because I am a following someone, I would probably be leading the way. But she won't even open the dialogue with me about the lies that were said about me It seems like once you leave the park they consider you no longer allowed on the property, even if to visit friends. The person they are visiting, gets in trouble as well for rule number 24. I am sure she will respond with things that I have previously stated. What went from a great park to a not so great park I will miss Butterfield and already do. Yes I left under my own accord I am not part of a group I hate great people getting treated badly.

    This park is very clean, nicely landscaped, has good hookups and includes amenities including an…read moreobservatory, gym, pool and wood shop. The staff are friendly most of the time. They charge LP fill by the number of gallons put in which is nice. Some parks charge a fixed price. If you are a light sleeper know that the trains go through here 24/7 and blow the horns multiple times. It is no issue for us and the park has no control over this but it's reality. Overall 4 stars though there are some points that they could improve on. 1/2- The website shows only paved sites, most are gravel, and the listed price is incorrect. They should add many pictures of gravel sites and change the pricing. They said the rates went up 1 April and would update the web page though days later it is still showing $50 rather that $60. It takes fifteen minutes to change this. 3- Our spot using auto level has one tire an inch or so off the ground. We tried several orientations. We've seen other coaches with auto level here and some using blocks under the tires to mitigate this. 4- The picnic table needs new boards. It's wobbly due to decay. 5- When using the wireless login there's an explanation that there are two choices; free not suitable for streaming, and a $30 upgrade that is. I'm streaming with the lower speed which I clocked (engineer). They could point to their internet provider but it's their contract.

    NEAT HOCKEY TEAM w/ LOYAL SUPPORT for Arizona Hockey and the fallen AZ Coyotes. I enjoyed visiting…read morethe Tucson Roadrunners as they had a fun, family-friendly environment! The seats were comfy (albeit tight when it came to leg room and spacing) and the team staff seemed excited. Rowdy was a fun host with a pleasant vibe and Dusty (the Roadrunner mascot) was hilarious. I visited to support my Gulls as they took on Tucson so I wasn't the most popular dude in the arena but I was still enjoying myself. I got seats in Row D behind the visitors section and had a blast. I saw a diverse group of folks and families. I'm hoping Tucson does more to represent and celebrate this wonderful community! Right now, the themes and celebrations are a little weak/non-existent. Tickets are a bit pricey, it seemed like the higher seats inside Tucson arena would be a better bargain as they had more leg room! I managed to get a deal close to the ice, so I decided to sit in a tight space so I can be closer to my team. There's plenty of concessions and specialty items for hockey fans (tacos, burgers, donuts, acai bowls). Concessions were surprisingly not that bad, taste and price were satisfactory! The Tucson Roadrunners have a smaller fan base, but if they reach out to the diverse community around them and fix their stereo system , they'll be solid!

    What a great place to see local AHL hockey. The attendance was a bit low but it was a Tuesday night…read morein March so bedtimes, people have to work etc. the food and drinks were priced affordable. The staff was all very pleasant and helpful. I did forget how cold it could get in there so maybe a promotional item or sale of fingerless gloves for holding drinks? the in between period entertainment was delightful and energetic with tshirt tosses, puck throws and slap shot competitions. Would absolutely go back for a game again!
