Justin's Diamond J RV Park, 9/26/2019 to 1/26/2020

Rating: 3.5 on a scale of 5

Location:  We had stayed at an RV park near this one several years ago. We decided to stay here for most of the winter because miles of desert hiking trails are accessible directly from the park. Also. it is a great home base for visiting places like:

• 07 miles      Old Tucson Studios
• 09 miles      Gates Pass
• 10 miles.     Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
• 15 miles      Central Tucson
• 18 miles      Saguaro Natl Park (West)
• 44 miles      Kitt Peak Natl Observatory    44 mi

 Lot:  We rented a premium lot that backed up to the desert (MV 12). It was along the rear perimeter of the park with plenty of room. We could walk right onto a trail from our site. And a huge saguaro was visible from our bedroom windows. Woodpeckers and other birds were frequently seen from here. And one night, we even had a herd of javelinas on our site!

Amenities:   The office here is only open a few hours a day (which is fine for us). Group meals and other functions are held at the clubhouse.

The lending library of books and DVDs has a great selection! 

A small, but nice, coin-operated laundry is in the same building but open more hours. 

There is also a miniature golf course that was near our lot. However, there is no grass (real or fake) and so it is a little rough going! Nonetheless, we had fun playing a couple of times.  

We were able to receive mail, packages, and Amazon deliveries here, but everything is left in the open. Having said that, we no issues with getting our mail. 

Cost:   Our premium lot was $709/month (which included electricity).

Management:   The owners here are nice enough. When we arrived, no one was at the office and there was no information left for us. I tried to reach the office but without any luck. We ended up just selecting a site and then meeting up with the manager the next day, It was not the site they had selected for us, but they did not make us move (which was great). I had made the reservations well in advance. 

General Comments:  We loved our lot here and enjoyed the “remote” location of the park. But, I do wish it had some more amenities. We would stay here again as many of the RV parks are closer to suburban and urban areas.
