Cactus Gardens RV Resort, Yuma, AZWe arrived at 3:30, the afternoon of June 1st. Although we had checked in online & been assigned a spot, we thought we should stop by the office, say ‘hi’, let them know we were here & pick up the typical ‘welcome packet’ (park map, list of amenities- (laundry, dog park) and information regarding what’s closed, etc). The office was closed. A scribbled note on the door said if service is needed to come over to Desert Paradise RV Park (no phone number provided). We went to our assigned spot, F13. There was no power at the pole. Hubby looked up where Desert Paradise was located (next door), hopped in my car and drove there. It was 105-degrees. The man there directed us to spot F7- didn’t seem concerned that F13 had no power (hubby has the foresight to ask for an emergency contact number). Hubby drives back and we move to F7. After hooking up & ‘unpacking’ (you know the drill!), the circuit trips- no power. He flips it back on- 5 minutes later- it trips again and keeps doing so. The only thing we were running at this point was the A/C. We are a 32 ft Class C- 30amp. Hubby calls and was told we were pulling too much power- more than the 30amp shore power pole & we need a converter to hook up to the 50amp side. The lady who answered the phone directs him to go downtown & buy a 50 to 30amp converter & hook up to the other plug in. So, downtown he goes- comes back and there is NO 50 amp plug in at the shore power pole. He calls her again- she seems confused- has a brief conversation with someone in the office and tells us to move to F1 or F4. Mind you, it’s still 105 outside & we have pets we are traveling with. I’m upset- he’s hot & tried after driving 6.5 hours from Tucson. Before unhooking & packing up, he plugs into the pole in the spot next to ours, F8. Power works & stays on. I went online, cancelled our reservation for the next 3 days at Cactus Gardens and extended our reservation at Pio Pico RV Resort in Jamul, CA- our next stop. There are 2 sides to this park- one side is for annual/permanent residents and the other for RV’ers. On the day we arrived, there were 2 RV’s on the RV side; they appeared to be unoccupied based on the fact they were covered up. We were the only RV’ers there on this day (June 1st). The sites were gravel-fairly level. Many shared a small tree & there was some shade available (the 2 sites we were assigned to did not have tree shade, although all sites were empty). I couldn’t locate a dog park. In our walk around with the doggos, I did find a laundry and a library. The dumpsters were at the end of each row. Overall, there was lack of vegetation (bushes, grass, plants)- gravel sites, asphalt road & loose dirt. No sites had picnic tables, fire rings or bbq grills. On a positive note, Cactus Gardens is right off the Interstate 8, not too much highway noise was noticed and local stores (Walmart, grocery, fast food restaurants, etc) were within 1.1 miles. Overall, this was a very negative experience, both with the lack of staff concern/friendliness and with the park, itself. I would not recommend staying here. Management needs to address multiple issues, especially with the staff; their lack of concern regarding problems within the park and cordiality towards guests. We have been traveling for years and have never had a negative experience like this.
