The Resort on Ellsworth - Mesa, AZ


The Resort has 792 sites, and 157 are still occupied by people in trailers and motor coaches. On the day we visited in March 2015 there were still 14 sites not booked for the 2015/16 season. For various reasons, mostly to due with personal preference on which way you face, and how big the patio slab is, the list was quickly narrowed to three or four possibilities. Prices are very reasonable. A five month stay is about $2,500 with just electricity extra. Water, sewer, trash removal, and cable TV are included.


When you're in an RV, laundry facilities are critical. The Resort meets this criteria in spades. There were plenty of machines, and they all appeared to be in working order. Score one for The Resort.


The various activity areas were still humming along, including the wood shop. People were friendly, and it looks like there is plenty to do.


Tennis courts were basically vacated on our visit, Pickleball was anything but. The Resort has four courts so far. Pickleball is big.


Don't forget to check for a fitness centre. Not all resorts take this seriously enough, and if daily fitness is part of your routine, you won't be happy without one. This the the fitness facility at The Resort. Plenty of everything, and all in good repair.
