Two Concerns: Air and Water quality: As always, I researched online reviews for this RV park. The reviews all mentioned the air quality. Since we are from Texas, I thought the concern mentioned was just city folks not being around cattle. Let me say we were hit with the "shog" as the locals call it while sitting outside drinking wine. The shog or sh*t fog was so overwhelming it caused me to become nauseated and the smell of cattle manure penetrates your clothes and hair. We went inside the RV and... Read More
Two Concerns: Air and Water quality:
As always, I researched online reviews for this RV park. The reviews all mentioned the air quality. Since we are from Texas, I thought the concern mentioned was just city folks not being around cattle. Let me say we were hit with the "shog" as the locals call it while sitting outside drinking wine. The shog or sh*t fog was so overwhelming it caused me to become nauseated and the smell of cattle manure penetrates your clothes and hair. We went inside the RV and the smell was still overwhelming even after we closed all windows/vents. Hubby contacted the office and he was told that this year had been the worst. We drove over to the cattle feedlot in Tacna, AZ where the smell originates, which has about 500,000 head per their website. When the wind blows from the south prepare yourself because even a facial mask will not block the stink!
The online reviews mentioned the high salt content in the RV park's water. This review also was spot on. The RV park does offer free reverse osmosis water which does remove some of the salt however, the water is still very salty. If you use an additional water filter system such as Brita it will remove the remaining salt. We ended up buying bottled water to cook with and drink. When you take a shower the water leaves behind a film of salt. Be sure to use bottled water to brush your teeth or rinse out your mouth.
For these concerns alone, we will not be returning to this RV park. This was so disappointing because we love the mountains, the desert, and the beautiful sunsets.
