Sans End RV Park, Winterhaven, CA

In search of the warmest spot in the western US, we’ve arrived in Yuma to temperatures forecast into the high 70’s this week and high 80’s next week.  We’re actually on the California side of the Colorado River, which defines the boundary between Arizona and California at Winterhaven. Technically Winterhaven is in the Pacific time zone and Yuma, 4 miles away is in the Mountain time zone. Confusion ensues when our phones seem to randomly set Pacific or Mountain times.

We’re parked in site 143 along with friends in 144 at Sans End RV Park.  We were booked at Sans End last year and opted to cancel due to Covid concerns.  Owners/Managers here were awesome, allowing us to cancel penalty free and then make a new reservation for 2022.

Sans End RV Park, Pool

This is an older park, and being located between I-8 on the south and a very high traffic rail line to the north, suffers from some noise.  Sites are simple gravel, with good 30/50 Amp connections, water and sewer port. In our opinion, some of the best sites are 130-142 which are back-in and tree covered.  Specifically site #134 provides a great view across a grassy area of the park.  Sites 114-129 aren’t optimal, requiring door to door configurations because of shared utilities.  Lower numbered sites 1-12 share a lot of privacy backed up to open, grassy areas.  And sites 17-32 are nice back-ins, but would suffer the most traffic noise from I-8.  PARK MAP
