Racetrack Campsite

The current camp hosts are so ridiculously rude and unprofessional it's almost comical. It was assumed from the moment I arrived I was treated like a trespasser and a complete idiot and was even interrupted mid sentence assuming I was going to say something very unreasonable. I was met with constant suspicion as if I was lying. They simply wouldn't listen. The unwritten and unspoken rules were abs... The current camp hosts are so ridiculously rude and unprofessional it's almost comical. It was assumed from the moment I arrived I was treated like a trespasser and a complete idiot and was even interrupted mid sentence assuming I was going to say something very unreasonable. I was met with constant suspicion as if I was lying. They simply wouldn't listen. The unwritten and unspoken rules were absurd and unnecessary. The fine print was even more ridiculous. If they somehow recognize you and your work or if you meet the common demographics, you might be treated with respect. Although technically, open to the public, I doubt everybody's welcome, and they obviously don't care about bad reviews because people like me are not going to put them out of business as long as there are big events at the fairgrounds. That seems to be it's purpose, not a functioning RV park. Even at peak season during weekend events it was mostly empty and maybe people avoid this place for good reason. I'm glad I left earlier than I planned, but I wish I had turned away before I paid anything. I did enjoy walking around the fairgrounds and seeing the mountains and clear night skies.

The park was easy to find. It is located south of Tucson just off of I 10. There is pavement all the way. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly and we were escorted to our site.. The rules are fairly basic. The interior roads are graveled and in good condition Our site, 162, was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach with our towed beside.

Check in was efficient and friendly and we were escorted to our site.. The rules are fairly basic. The interior roads are graveled and in good condition Our site, 162, was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach with our towed beside. Services (30 amp, water and sewer only) were to the left side. Distancing is poor for a rural park. Had it been busy we would have been slide to awning and tail to tail. There was NO table or fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was just a gravel parking lot but it fit our needs for an overnight space. There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We did not find any OTA channels. Satellite would not be difficult. There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores. We found this park to be an okay overnighter. We paid $40.50 per night and we feel we received fair value. We will be back if in the area again.

This is a nice place to stay especially if you find it difficult to get a reservation in southern AZ in the winter. They have daily and weekly rates and have Good Sam and Escapees discounts. We paid $30/ night for full hookups with our Escapees discount. The Fairgrounds does not take reservations, although there are events that may limit camping options.

There's not much atmosphere in the actual camping areas, which is mostly gravel, but there are some really nice areas with grass and trees spread throughtout the grounds. The fairgrounds are pretty extensive and there is a nice exercise trail, with signs identifying the local flora, that goes around part of the perimeter. They have also added a paved trail that parallels the entrance road. There are two laundry facilities with a total of five washers and eight driers. Each machine is $1.50, which is pretty reasonable for laundry. You just need to time your washing around others. There is a cantina, which is only open for special occasions, when they may also have additional food trucks. Don't expect these amenities all the time, but it's fun when a special event brings them in. In addition to having lots of walking space, there are bike trails easily accessible. The office has a map of them available. It's reasonably close to Saguaro National Park on the east side and shopping is close across the interstate. We've stayed here three times and would stay again.
