RV park...

We are staying in the LazyDays KOA while in Tucson.

Generally, I am not a big fan of KOA - they seem to be the higher price option in most places, because they offer plenty of "family amenities."  This park wasn't a KOA until last year; it has been affiliated with the large RV dealer that is on the same premises.

What I DO like about this park: it is designed for big rigs...


Nice wide streets, giving you room to maneuver into a site.  Their sites can accommodate any size rig (we don't have to unhook the cargo trailer), and all have cement patios, patio furniture, and most have a citrus-fruit tree (ours has grapefruit).  Yes, you can pick the fruit (within reason).  50 and 30 amp power, cable TV, laundry, two pools, etc.

This is the difference between "camping" and an RV resort: notice it is not heavily wooded - no issue with scratching up your rig on low-hanging branches, and plenty of sky, to get satellite TV.  No big smoky campfires.

There is an Airstream Rally going on here right now: the gleaming aluminum travel trailers are all over the park...


Well, they aren't all travel trailers...


That one is a well-preserved Airstream motorhome.  I don't think they make the aluminum motorhomes any longer, but they do make fiberglass motorhomes along with the more typical trailers.

This oldie caught my eye...


Someone had put a lot of work into it: shiny!

Of course, there are other types of RVs in the park...


RVers remind me somewhat of boat cruisers... and, they like their dogs.  Lots of people walking dogs all day long (especially first thing in the morning); yes there is a "clean up after your pet" rule.  Some of us prefer the company of the feline furry kids...


That sign was on the front of a 5th wheel.  Little Isabella likes it here...


She likes that bush... pretty sure every dog in the park has "marked it" at one time.  Yes, she gets cleaned up before she can go back inside.

Not everyone likes pets...


This site had a couple of those signs, letting people know to NOT let their dogs poop in the yard.  I have to find some of these - we have some bushes at home that are occasionally "gifted".

Every RV park we've been in has a low speed limit...


They are letting you know to keep it UNDER 10 mph... safer for everyone that way.

Nice day to be out and about.  We are sitting out on our patio while I write this.  Sure beats the heck out of slogging through the snow.  ;-)
