Black Canyon Ranch RV Resort Come for the amenities; stay for the friendships
What do you have when you combine perfection—a perfect 10/10*/10 rating—breathtaking views, ample amenities, and friendly staff and members? You have Black Canyon Ranch RV Resort in Black Canyon City, Arizona. The resort was so spectacular that fulltimers Raymond and Christine Dantes decided four years ago to hang up their keys and stay a while. Christine is now the manager and Raymond is the maintenance manager. “We fell in love with the scenery and the proximity with everything in Arizona,” says Christine. “The first thing we did when we first visited was to come into the clubhouse and meet some of the people. From the minute we were there, we felt a sense of welcoming—that we were part of the group.” In addition to being welcoming, the resort boasts beautiful desert-themed upgraded landscaping that includes historic wagons placed throughout the 11-acre park. Leafy
shade trees and citrus trees with fruit to pick are dotted throughout. Facilities include a newly renovated, smoke-free clubhouse. The game room has a pool table, card tables, and a karaoke machine. The adjacent pool area has gas grill, deck with lounge chairs and umbrella tables. The pool and spa are heated year-round. Exercise on the new nature walk that’s located at the back of the park next to the doggie corral. Enjoy Chef Mat’s delicious food and excellent coffee choices at Nora Jean’s Koffee Kitchen. The Community of Anthem and Designer Outlets are just 14 miles south. Canyon Creek Dude Ranch with horse rides and cattle drives is located nearby. Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Prescott, Sedona, Jerome, Cave Creek, Scottsdale, and Phoenix are all within a pleasant day's drive.
During holiday weekends, the activities department organizes many family friendly activities and concerts. One of the extra amenities is the proximity to the Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees—a big lake covering 46,500 acres with a lot to offer. There are five state parks around the winding, scenic shoreline, as well as all the privately operated commercial marinas, restaurants, and fishing guides. Native fish species found in the Grand Lake include large-mouth bass, white bass, channel catfish, blue catfish, spoonbills, crappie, and bluegill. From Eagles Landing guests are treated to an enchanting view of the lighted 2,548-foot-long, 29-foot-wide, four lane “Sailboat Bridge.” The bridge deck curves upward in a parabolic arch about 40 feet higher at the center than at the ends. Tall sailboats could pass underneath. In 1939 the design received national recognition from the American Institute of Steel Construction
For 20 years Sandra Kyles, Member Services Director, has been welcoming members to Eagles Landing Resort, and she’s excited about what’s happening under new ownership. “The new owner, Robert Nurnberg, is doing an awesome job of renovating,” she says. “There’s new landscaping. The showers and restrooms have been remodeled along with the cabins. There’s also a brand new swimming pool.” In fact, the remodeled cabins are a home away from home. The new beach entry pool is one of the largest of its kind in the region. And that’s not all. Try out the mini golf, pickle ball, game room, theater room, and clubhouse. For water lovers, make time for kayaking, water trikes, fishing, and boating. Take advantage of the boat slips and ramp, heated fishing dock, fish cleaning station, and boat storage. Meet new friends playing basketball, volleyball, and badminton. Forgot the salt; shop at the Kountry Store.
