A Trip To Benson-Escapees RV Park

We had been invited down to the Escapees Park in Benson, AZ by Dave and Marie Ostrander so we decided today, Sunday afternoon, would be a good time to go and check it out. Marie was not in town, visiting with their daughter in Boston, so it was good to give Dave some company.

We have had thoughts of putting our name in to the "pool" for this RV park to try and buy a lot. It normally takes between 5-10 years for your name to come to the top of the list to get an opportunity to get a site. The sites run around $6-8000, so it is really reasonable to buy in and that is why so many people put their name in.

Dave had his Windsor parked in the park and he wanted to show us all the amenities the Saguaro Co-op has to offer. The first thing we noticed is how wide the individual sites were. A pleasant change from many other parks. We saw the club house, the office (pictured), wood working shop, dining room (where a jam session was in progress) and the various sites. Each is on its own tier. This is nice because you can then have a view of the valley below.

We spent a couple of hours there and Dave was a great help in explaining the park. We will have to consider this as a possible winter option for our stays!
