Mill Creek Ranch Resort Canton, Texas
Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort Casa Grande, Arizona
Deep in the heart of East Texas stands 10/10 H /10-rated Mill Creek Ranch Resort, with first-class amenities and flawless hospitality. This 200-acre Good Neighbor Park merits its perfect score with such upscale services as a concierge that not only helps guests plan their visits but also escorts you to your RV campsite. The property is just across the street from Canton’s First Monday Trade Days, America’s largest and oldest continu- ally operating flea market. Thousands of vendors converge here during the four days preceding the first Monday of the month to sell one-of-a-kind collectibles, furniture and furnishings, arts and crafts, clothing, jewelry and more. After a day of browsing the booths, you can wind down in the pair of designer swimming pools and give your pets a break in the off-leash dog area. On Friday nights, the stage in the aptly named Grand Lodge hosts live entertain- ment, complete with food and a full bar. Mill Creek Ranch earns a star for cleanliness with spot- less restrooms, sparkling laundry facilities and daily trash pickup at the RV sites. Each campsite has room for extend- ing slide-outs and awnings and features pull-through access, cable TV and Wi-Fi. If you're traveling with friends or family, take advantage of the comfortable rental cabins. Despite the posh treatment, there’s a real get-back-to- nature feel at this former cattle ranch, speckled with half a dozen ponds stocked with bass, crappie and catfish—no fishing license required.
Affectionately known as Disneyland for Adults, central Arizona’a Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort schedules more than 165 activities each week, from lapidary classes to line dancing. It’s easy to get in the game at this 10/10 H /10-rated Good Neighbor Park with the gung-ho activities director leading the way. Golfers can warm up on the Palm Creek putting green and hit the fairways on the resort's 18-hole, par-54 course, all under the Southwestern sun. You’ll find shuffleboard, billiards, horseshoes, softball, tennis, pickleball and a weight room at the top-rated park, along with yoga, Pilates and water exercise classes. Palm Creek is a paradise for hobbyists, hosting work- shops in pottery, painting, quilting, woodcarving, stained glass and silversmithing, plus an assortment of computer classes. Evening activities range from dances to live enter- tainment, and there’s always a game going on, from bridge to Monday night bingo. Grab a front-row seat at the Palm Creek Playhouse when residents take the spotlight to entertain you. Another of the new Good Neighbor Parks in the Sun RV Resorts network, Palm Creek is situated 40 minutes south of Phoenix and an hour north of Tucson. To make the most of the region’s scenic and historic attractions, you’ll want to tag along on the group sightseeing outings. After a busy day’s activities, recharge your batteries at the pool and refuel at the bistro.
