After leaving Lake Havasu, we spent 2 weeks at Cocopah RV & Golf Resort in Yuma. We were here in Yuma last year and we’ve returned to take advantage of dental care across the border in Los Algodones, MX. The small town of Algodones, an easy walk across the border from California, has the worlds largest concentration of dentists, with over 350 offices! We found Simply Dental last year based on good reviews and have returned this year for additional services.
While dental care took priority, we once again enjoyed the burgers and brews at Prison Hill Brewery, the wonderful breakfast at Broken Yoke and a new find – El Charro Café – an excellent choice for great, homemade Mexican food!
After a bit of a “challenging” departure from Yuma due to a hydraulic leak, we have arrived at Campground USA in Apache Junction, outside of Phoenix. Campground USA is a newer park in Apache Junction with construction starting just 3 years ago, and the pool/clubhouse complex just completed last year. It provides nice wide sites, pull-throughs for “short term” visitors and back-in sites for longer stays. The pool and hot tub area is very nice along with one pickleball court. The clubhouse seems a bit stark, but well equipped with a kitchen area, a TV area with comfy couches and chairs and several game tables. Off the main room is a billiards room and a workout room with a weight machine and a treadmill. The laundry is modern and clean, 6 washers, 6 dryers, but 3 washers were out of service. $2.00 each. There’s no park WiFi, but the connection available in the clubhouse runs along about 70MB. This is a nice park, the only downside being it’s proximity to Highway 60 which contributes to the constant background noise of traffic – worse in the early mornings as the commuters head toward downtown Phoenix.
With a delayed arrival in Apache Junction due to our hydraulic problem, we’ll only be here 1 week before parking the camper at friends and flying to South America for a 12 night cruise aboard the Celebrity Infinity. We’re back to the Phoenix area near the end of March when we’ll hit the road for Texas. More from there…
