Pleasant Harbor RV Resort

Arrived late and met the gate guard, he pointed us to the office where onsite security showed us to our site.

Heated pool, hot tub, huge clean bathrooms and showers, open spaces, dog park. RV sites are to close together though, I mean really to close together. It's to bad to because everything else is so nice, staff is friendly, dog friendly right next to the Lake lots to do. Did I mention the sites are close together?

Wow. Where to even start?

When you arrive there's an entrance area that's manned 24 hours. They don't let just anyone come driving through the RV park or marina. Felt very safe from the get-go.

I'm not quite sure I understand the previous review stating the sites were so close together. I didn't find them any closer together than any other RV park. And the HUGE plus is that every site was fully fenced on three sides with a 5 foot fence! You basically had a very private, fenced area just for your site.

Many of the long term stays/snowbirders had even put up cute, decorative fences on the front side of their sites to fully fence the site. So great if you have a pup so they can have an off-leash yard. I've never seen a park do this before and it was a huge perk IMO.

Our site was very roomy. Plenty of room for our camper and for the truck to park next to it. There was a nice picnic table as well.

This place is definitely a resort. Beautiful pool and hot tub. Great clubhouse space and a laundry room with plenty of working machines. There's even a little convenient store.

The bathhouse was HUGE. 10 or so bathroom stalls and another 10 or so shower stalls. There's even a large, cleared counter area with a big mirror for putting on makeup and a full length mirror. Very clean. The bathhouse is a little dated but obviously well kept. The showers were good and hot.

One of our favorite features is the HUGE dog park! HUGE and GRASSY! Our dog was in heaven! This was a true dog park where many people would show up and the dogs could play. So many RV "dog parks" are small fenced areas that are more like doggie bathroom stalls that no one wants to hang out in. This park was for fun! Plenty of running room to throw a ball and many doggie friends to meet. There's even a picnic table inside and a couple of nice benches plus a water hose and bowl so your pooch can get a drink during a play break. A+++++

Overall this place was great! It's definitely pricey and books up fast. Online reservation was very easy and a good way to check if there are available spots.

I almost forgot to mention that this resort is right by the lake! There's a marina and a restaurant but we didn't even go down that way because we were enjoying the RV park and of course the close access to Phoenix and everything to do there.

Chocked full of amenities. Everything you need is here. It’s a good place to come after boondocking. Free dump. Lots of trash bins around. Laundry (recommend going after 6:00pm). Convenience store. Restaurant & bar on the lake. Watercraft and water sports rentals. There are many full timers here so they offer a very full social calendar with activities and entertainment. Security 24 hrs. Available are full hookups, partial hookups (E&W) and many dry camping areas. We chose a waterfront location in the temporary section with water and electric. It was great. Nice view and pretty quiet, away from the center of activities.

Great resort on Lake Pleasant, with a little bit of everything for everyone. We loved the Lake and this resort.

Online booking was great - didn’t like that the site you pick is ‘not a guarantee’ except that they will give you one similar...but after being there - didn’t seem to matter because everything to do is close by. There didn’t seem to be a bad spot anywhere. Loved the scenery and took out our 6 year old for a ‘mini’ hike. She lived exploring the shore line and swimming in the pool! Our 12 year old loves the basketball courts and riding scooters around. I liked there was a dog park and the bathrooms/showers were clean. I look forward to learning to paddle board and kayak with rentals on site and a great restaurant/bar with huge water slide into the lake....There seems to be something for everyone! We will book here again.

We decided to stay here because it was cheap, at least in the dry camping area. We wanted to be commutable distance to Scottsdale (it was about 50 minutes from Lake Pleasant) and the Phoenix area is generally expensive and kid-unfriendly. Pleasant Harbor, on the other hand, was only 16 bucks a night for dry camping and was very kid friendly. There's no need to worry about reservations for dry camping, supposedly they never fill up. Camping is behind a gate guarded 24 hours a day, and the whole area feels very safe. One may purchase an amenities pass for pool and showers. The staff was very friendly. There are fun mountain biking trails accessible just down the road.

We dry camped at Pleasant Harbor for 10 nights in February of 2020. First we dry camped in area 52, a nondescript dirt parking lot, where we camped with friends who have a large Class A. On Monday, after they departed, we towed our big fifth wheel up the steepish dirt road to Vista Point where we almost had the place to ourselves, at least until the next weekend. Our big rear window backed up to views of the lake and the mountains in the distance. Dillon's Bayou, the on-site restaurant is OK; we like the waterfront restaurant at Scorpion Bay at Lake Pleasant Regional Park better. Easy access to water/dump. A pass (can't remember the cost) got all members of our party access to nice bathrooms/showers near the office. Onsite laundry facilities were OK. To my knowledge there are no swimming areas although we did see groups of scuba divers and kayaks can be put in at the boat ramp. We have also dry camped across the lake in the rather small area for dry camping at the North Ramp at Lake Pleasant Regional Park. It was an absolute zoo over the weekends and was only a few dollars less per night. If you can get a site on Vista Point, it's the most scenic dry camping in the area.

We arrived here late in the day for a shakedown of our new Basecamp on a Saturday evening just before sunset. Had our unit parked and settled in a few minutes so we took our dogs out to view the evening sunset (which was a true gift from God.) Spectacular!!! The park made itself was very easy to check into - simply swing by the office for a map and a dashboard tag and then you're off to your site. I know we paid too much for our space but it was at the end of the row nearest the lake and the views were truly spectacular. There was also a huge grassy area in front of our site that was perfect for our two furry babies to run around on. The only thing I would recommend is for a couple of dog poop bag stations as there were more than a few untended piles of poop that some of the less courteous campers had neglected to pick up.

Can't speak to the dining or entertainment on site, but we were treated to a holiday golf cart parade of lit up carts. It was very festive! Overall a great first night and while the weather was perfect during the day, the wind howled at night and threatened our lawn chairs so they got put away. Gorgeous night sky with limited light pollution too.

My wife and I recently bought our first camper and took it to Pleasant Harbor for our first “glamping” experience. We’re in our 50s and decided this year we’re done sleeping on the ground.
We mainly went here for our first overnighter because it’s a short drive from our home and seemed pretty nice based on pics and reviews. We were super impressed with Pleasant Harbor.
The three staff members we came into contact with were super friendly and helpful. Our campsite was ready when we arrived and super clean - no trash or weeds. Even though all the sites adjacent to us were occupied, it remained relatively quiet the whole time.
We stayed in a “partial hookup” spot with water and electricity only and everything worked perfectly. We didn’t really use the recreation facilities or general store so I can comment on them, but we did cover the whole property on our morning walk and the whole place was consistently well-maintained. My favorite experience was waking up in the morning to the amazing view of sailboats headed out on the lake with mountains rising up in all directions. We also really enjoyed the well-maintained patch of lawn that our spot backed up to. The only drawback I can think of is there are no fire rings here.
Overall we had a great time And will definitely be back.

I was thankful to find this place also "on" Lake Pleasant, when Lake Pleasant campground changed their website to prevent online booking less than 2 days in advance; which limited the nights I could stay there. Found this place that "claims" "Lake Pleasant RV resort"... I think that's a stretch. There are no lake views unless you dry camp, their website is challenging an apparently uses algorithms that if you look at it several times price goes up kind of like airlines... I only found one restroom, everyone was literally on too of each other, shade is a premium. Dry camping is a desert sand pit (reminds me of a nascar parking lot without Nascar. It may be great for some but definitely not my idea of camping. Lake Pleasant campground is absolutely a better choice than this RV resort.
