No longer a Premier park

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating I have spent the past six winters at Pueblo El Mirage (PEM). I return to the "resort" because of the people, definitely NOT because of the park itself. My initial year was wonderful - the place seemed beautiful and well-run. The price was reasonable. Fast forward through the years this place is no longer a premier resort. Yes, it offers LOTS to do, but the the owners and the management have ignored the deteriorating infrastructure, and no longer care about the loyal residents. The "resort" has added MANY new homes, but has failed to concurrently increase or improve facilities. The pool is frequently closed due to a recurring pump issue things are repaired (if ever) on the cheap. The golf course is scalded due to a recurring pump problem, and an incompetent golf course supervisor (who also happens to be the "resort" manager.) The managers are rude and incompetent. This large "resort" is well above their skill set, and the owners are too busy building their RV Resort and Communities empire to pay attention to PEM. There are only a handful of lots (RV and Park Model) that are land-owned. The rest of us LEASE the land, and this year, even in the midst of Covid, the owners decided to up the annual lease by 10%! I could go on and on with testimony, but I will conclude by saying that there are many RV Resorts in AZ where your money would be better sent. I know I will be moving on.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Was in the PEM pool today and it is great that it is open but the safety issues have yet to be fixed. All three in pool tables had corner tiles replaced with caulking...they are triangular and raised so that the sharp corners can cut a person. All the filter intakes have green algae, the hand rails have not been wrapped to protect from hand burns and the railing for the steps is wobbling and about to fall over. Most of the golf course is brown from lack of watering, golf course bathrooms are deplorable, streets are crumbling with pot holes everywhere. Men's bathroom by the rec hall has been out of order for more than 6 months. Lots are over run with weeds and some look like a trashy trailer park.The management is rude and disrespectful. We have been here 2 years and are now regretting our decision to buy here. This may have been a 4 star resort at one time but I wouldn't rate it above a 2 now. You definatly don't get what you pay for at this resort.

This RV Park is nice as the Feb 2017 review states, however, the jet noise from the nearby air force base is REALLY loud. If you are inside your RV with the door and windows closed, you cannot hear one another talk because of the jet noise. I was told by another resident that the air force doesn't fly as much during the summer months - but that's usually when hardly anyone is there at the resort. Our particular RV site was a back in site on a very narrow, very well traveled street - lots of vehicles and golf carts. It was possible to pull through from the street behind our site because of the way it was set up, but the fellows that lead us to our site would not permit us to do that (for some unknown reason) so instead of taking about 3 minutes to pull in from that rarely traveled back street, it took us about 30 minutes to back in with our 39 ft fifth wheel, in between stops to let traffic through. Lots of snow birds in this area during winter months so if you need to travel to or through Phoenix, be sure to make reservations way ahead of time.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating This is perhaps the cleanest and best maintained RV facility I have seen. Its a huge park with a few hundred RV sites and many other sites that have modular homes on them. Its is above all else a GOLF RESORT and is a gated community with fulltime security. Jets from the nearby air base do fly about 5 days a week and can be a bit noisy at times. I have a month here at a premium site where electricity, cable and wifi are all included and so far all those services work as expected with little issues. The staff and service people are all exceptional in offering assistance and information. The amount of activites offered is amazing from water aerobics to painting to glass work. They have an awesome billard room. The location on the west side of Phoenix is pretty nice, just 10 minutes off the 101 and I10. All needed local facilities such as food, gas, etc as well as dozens of restaurants all with in 15 minute drive time of the park. In park services for garbage curbside pickup twice a week is free, local propane service comes into the park 3 days a week and is easily scheduled to stop by your RV to fill. Wash.Wax services can be purchased as well as any needed maintenance work. This is a high class park and you can see it in all the rigs that are here. I figure for $1000/month for what we are getting is unbeatable and we don't even play golf.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating I stayed here for two months. The park is clean and beautiful. That is the only good thing that I enjoyed. This is the noisiest park I have ever been at. The jets from Luke air force base fly directly over the resort head 5 days a week. you cant even hear to speak.I was over charged for my electricity. If that is not bad enough , most of the people are in there 70 ies , and then I was forced out on the 31st of the month ,when I was supposed to leave on the first.. They hit the golf ball and they land any place. get ready for possible damage to you vehicles. My truck was almost hit on several occasions. I was there two months and my electric bill was over 240.00 without using any air conditioning! Then you have to post a 250.00 refundable deposit to get it turned on! the resort offers electricity too get it started! Beware I saw 4 other people that were forced to leave on the 31st and were overcharged! Unless you are close to 80 I would stay far away from this place!!!!!!

Appeal Rating Ok, there are some things that have changed here and not all of them good. I used to like coming to this park but they nickle and dime you to death. Be prepared to pay for your ENTIRE reservation upfront with a check ONLY! No credit/debit cards allowed. MAKE SURE YOU AGREE WITH THEIR CANCELLATION POLICY. $30 monthly for WIFI, Electricity is not provided and you must go through the local provider that charges a $25 connection fee. 9 cents per kwh at the time of this posting. (not bad) Cable is $30 - two trash bag limit on twice weekly garbage pick - up and there are no dumpsters on the grounds.
I realize that the word 'expensive" is a relative term. This park is expensive compared to what is offered. This park is nice and is well kept. The pools and hot tub area is nice. The mini gym is adequate. If you come in for a week or two - this park is perfect. Longer stays? Well, not so much - very cliquish and not prone to mix and mingle activities. Do yourself a favor. If you are going to stay in the area for longer than a week or two, look at other parks that are the same price but offer oh so much more. I wish we would have looked before we leaped.
