Varied Climate In Arizona Ideal for RVs

RV parks in Arizona are a common enough occurrence. This is probably because of the wide range of temperatures within a relatively small geographic location. Of course, this is the west, where “small” distances are probably much more vast than in the eastern United States. However, the temperature differences between mountain and desert areas in Arizona are enough to set records.

Of all metropolitan areas in the US, Phoenix has the most days that reach 100 degrees or more (110 days on average) and Flagstaff has nearly the most days that reaches 32 or less among the contiguous 48 states. This national extreme of temperatures exists with less than a two hour drive between them. This difference in temperatures is primarily due to a 4500 foot elevation difference between the two locations. In summer, Flagstaff enjoys temperatures that rarely go above the 90s, and commonly stays comfortably in the 70s and 80s during the day. Phoenix, in what is technically winter, generally feels more like spring or fall in places that have four seasons, with an average of only 10 days per year dipping below the freezing point at night. Both places have abundant sunshine and low humidity.

Arizona RV parks take advantage of the wide range of temperatures in a relatively small area. Many people, particularly retirees, will live in Phoenix in the winter and in the northern high country in summer. Because owning two homes is expensive, an RV can be the way to go. RV parks in Arizona are reasonably-priced enough that staying in one for half the year can be a viable option.

Often, RV parks in Arizona are located near highways, so that campers and travelers can use them for a short stay, and get back on the road as soon as possible. In this way, Arizona RV parks function more like hotels or motels, except with nicer accommodations for the price. Because of the low overhead required to maintain an RV park versus a hotel, the place can charge much less per night. There is also the added comfort factor. In an RV, everything is where the owner has left it, much like a home. Things are much more customizable, and you know that everything is as clean as you left it. There is no wondering about who slept in the bed the night before, or how often the carpet has been cleaned.

In short, RV parks can be both a great way to travel around the country more cheaply and comfortably than motels, or can be effectively used for extended stay at a location for much more economically than building a second home.
