Leaf Verde Rv Community

This is a pretty typical private RV park in terms of its layout and space between each site. Its also a huge RV park. Despite its size and cramped quarters it did have a few things going for it. The location was very easy to get to off of the highway. It also offered easy access to propane refill for a decent price and a space to wash off the RV which is hard to find but always appreciated. The staff is very nice and the doggie area is well kept.

PROS:
Easy highway access
Large Pull-through Sites
Close to Grocery Stores
Friendly Staff
Nice Facilities

CONS:
Cramped Spaces/No Privacy
On the Expensive Side
HUGE park

We needed just one night near White tank mountain. We normally do not stay at private but sometimes it just works that way. Yes this is a very big park. The sites are very very close together. For one night we do not un hook. In this case we could not hook up to the sewer. We also did not have a picnic table that I mentioned to him and he said he would get one. I really did not want one so it wasn't a problem. The picture I am posting might explain why I would not need it. I took this from my kitchen window of our neighbors table. I think these are truly the closest sites I have seen. They do have a nice dog area. We stayed here February 11 2017.

This place is huge, but management runs a tight ship, the staff are very courteous and professional, and the place is very quiet and spotlessly clean. There are staff members patrolling in golf carts all the time. I even saw a guy with a broom grading the dirt on a site after a camper left. Most campers are here for the season, but they keep one row (the 500s) for overnighters only.

I have overnighted here twice between boondocking locations, to do my laundry (the laundry room is well equipped and spotlessly clean), dump my tanks, fill up with fresh water, get propane (it's expensive, but convenient), and visit Walmart (one mile away, along with Lowes and many other stores).

The only complaint I have is about seasonal residents taking their dogs to poop in vacant sites on overnighter's row, instead of taking them to the dog area. This happened twice right next to my site. They did clean up immediately, but it's not acceptable behavior. Both times I went outside and challenged the people, and both blamed their dogs. I mentioned it in the office when I checked out, and they told me it's an ongoing problem.

Clean sites...level groomed fine gravel sites with paved road access...very helpful friendly staff... We will return if within our travel plans...

Real nice resort with all the hook ups laundry in propane . My stay over was quiet at night

NOTE: This park has very recently been purchased by Sun Resorts. That happened between when we made our reservation and when we arrived and we were not informed.

Negatives:
Check in takes a LONG LONG time so be prepared for that after a full travel day.
They literally read you pages and pages of rules during check in.
No WiFi provided at all, not even the standard RV park bad WiFi.
So many dogs that their urine ran into the roads out of the little dog rest stop stations.
Regular spots will have your slide inches from your neighbor's and still run $450/mo.
Staff must park you and will tell you not to even look in your own mirrors (it's so strange).
I witnessed a 5th wheel hit a car during the course of one of these "guided" parkings.
Lots of traffic in not-very-wide roads all the time, makes walking tense sometimes.
Water was turned off multiple times during our 30-day stay without notice.
Certain members of the desk staff are really sarcastic, but no one wears name tags.
The park is surrounded by agriculture and SMELLS LIKE POOP 24/7.
There are "sewage vents" all around the park that also SMELL LIKE POOP 24/7.
Lots of Air Force fighter jets flying over on a regular basis every single day.
Entrance road is hard to see at night, so arrive during the day if you can help it.
We had an insanely bright street light at our spot and had to black out our windows.

Positives:
2 Pickleball courts that are well-maintained, plus other recreational facilities.
Shower rooms are older, but are clean and have great pressure and endless hot water.
Great lounge with library of books & DVDs, pool table, poker tables, TV, etc.
Staff regularly clean the sites, patrol the park, etc. It feels clean and safe.
Everybody on staff aside from the couple cranky desk people are very very friendly.
The garbage and recycling area is the most organized and clean I've ever seen.
Mail system and package delivery work well.
The "deluxe" spots have a privacy fence which is nice since you're 2 inches apart.
Laundry is very large and clean with plenty of machines and good prices.
Super easy to refill propane at the main building and put it on your "tab."

Other things to note:
The park is very close to both Fry's and Wal-Mart but traffic in Buckeye is strangely horrible and the Wal-Mart parking lot is basically some circle of hell. The post office is in the older part of Buckeye and is also easy to get to. If you go down to that part of town, make sure to have breakfast at Sheep Camp.

Although it's been taken over by an inefficient corporation, the onsite people are still great.

Don't bother trying to reserve online or on the 800 number because that's where you run into the new "resort" nonsense. Call the direct line to the office and deal with their people.

Sites are tight but adequate for an urban park. Everything is clean and well maintained. We didn't hear any highway noise and the park is quiet at night. Fairly dark which we like.

WiFi works fine. Wide interior roads for easy in and out. Propane on site.

Utilities all work well and the sites are level.

We were in town for a dental conference for my wife. When I called to make the reservation I was greeted by a very disgruntled woman. After making my reservation I asked about a military discount which is 20%. The lady on the phone then began to grill me on my age, how many years of service I had, and why I was retired. I had to inform her it really wasn’t her business.

Fast forward we arrive to check in and I was greeted by another lady who told me my retired id had to have been a fake since I didn’t look old enough to be out of the military or that I even looked like I had served at all. After about 10-15 minutes I was finally checked in. Escorted to my spot. Which was nice. OVERALL THE PARK IS GREAT. the only negative about it is that the water taste horrible. I beat in filters.

We were there for a few days and my daughters and I were coming back from a neighborhood playground and one of the employees on his golf cart followed us to our site and as my 2 daughters were walking to my rv he began grilling me about why I was there and if I belonged in the park.

That same night another park employee came by with a flashlight at about 9pm shining flashlights in windows looking at decals. I went outside and exchanged some words with him and told him that wasn’t a great idea to do that to my rv again.

The day before I left I was reminded by the same guy that I was to be out the next morning. As I was loading up my stuff and car. Then the next morning as I am doing my final checks the great gentleman came by one more time to remind me that I was to be leaving within the next 2 hours.

THERE IS NO WIFI AT THE PARK

We stopped for one night to get electricity to run our AC in spite of the negative reviews here. We were greeted very cheerfully by every staff member we saw. The fellow who escorted us to our site was friendly, informative and funny. No-one spoke a word about rules, nor were we given any written ones. The drive through sites are odd because they alternate direction, but we were beside our neighbor’s tow car, not their RV. Although the sites don’t have much vegetation, they are large, level and clean. The services were the newest and best we’ve ever had.

It’s clean well maintained, a great facility. Spacious sites, friendly people, both staff and residents.
They have a small dog run, but it gets the job done.
I really appreciated being able to self check in.
