The Great Outdoors

Just up the road from the RV park is the breathtaking Sonoran Desert National Monument in Maricopa. The Sonoran Desert has the most biodiversity of any desert in the country. As you hike through the desert, you will find yourself dwarfed by the towering Saguaro cacti and the bright desert flowers. Do keep in mind, though, that you will need to carry your own water with you.On the southern edge of Phoenix is the Estrella Mountain Regional Park in Goodyear. This small park sits along the banks of the Gila River, making it a naturally diverse destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the surprisingly luscious desert landscape. With dozens of miles of trails, you can challenge yourself on the many different trails with varying degrees of difficulty. If you’d rather enjoy a more scenic way of viewing the park, you can play a game of golf at the park’s 18-hole golf course. Or instead, you can observe the desert night sky, catching some stunning views of the universe.Those who want to learn about the wildlife of the region can spend the day at the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge in Yuma. You can hike or drive through the refuge and view the stunning landscape and maybe even see some of the local wildlife up close. Kofa is home to Sonoran pronghorn, mule deer, bobcats, and even mountain lions and Gila monsters. You’ll want to keep a safe distance from any wildlife you may encounter, but hopefully, you’ll get to see some truly unique animals when you book an RV in Maricopa County.

Explore the City

History buffs can head just a little northwest of Gila Bend KOA to check out the Painted Rock Petroglyph Site. This prehistoric site works to preserve the various rock etchings.

You can meet staff members who can give you an insider’s guide to the area. After you work on planning some more of your trip, you can head to the on-site museum where you can see historical artifacts, Native American artifacts, and local artwork.When you're motorhome camping at Gila Bend KOA, you can head into Phoenix to see the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park, one of the largest zoos in the state. With tigers, sea lions, rhinoceros, and an exciting kangaroo exhibit, you’ll be able to take a quick trip around the world without straying too far from the comforts of your rental RV.When it comes time to restock and refuel the Gila Bend camper rental, you should be able to find a few options for gas station and grocery store locations around the KOA that are worth considering.When exploring southern Arizona, you are going to need to refuel yourself, too. Being this close to the Mexican border, you will find some of the most authentic Mexican food in the country.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
