As soon as we got back from vacation, we hooked up the trailer and moved about 80 miles east to Morristown, Arizona. We had been looking at campgrounds in the area for a couple of months, and we liked the looks of this one. The fact that it only costs $185 per month and they only charge 11 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity made it that much more appealing. The tiny little office is cute, but no one is ever in there. The manager and his wife live in a mobile home in the back, and transact business there.
Our site is pretty flat, and has a nice concrete pad. There are no trees, but there are not many trees here at all. There is a large tree-like yucca plant in between our site and the one next door.
There are lots of native plants nicely landscaped around the park including saguaros and other cactii that I don’t know the names of. There is actually a Cactus Nursery right next door to the campground that has seven acres of different species of cactus. Some of them are quite unusual.
These small cacti are in bloom all over the park. The flowers are about three inches in diameter, and there are lots of them.
Gaelyn says
What a cute little park. Nice to have the nursery next door. I think that’s a prickly pear cactus in bloom.
Excellent sunset with sagauro!
Sandra says
Wow! Great price, that even beats our price that we paid at Powderhorn this winter! Looks like a nice spot!
Talina says
Ooo, I forgot how pretty blooming cacti were!
Yarntangler says
How far are you from Tucson?
lupingirl says
What a deal! When do you go back the Grand Canyon?
Karen says
Gaelyn: thanks! I love that picture of the sunset, too.
Talina: yep, purty!
Yarntangler: we are about 40 miles west of Phoenix
lupingirl: We have to be there by April 28, hope to be there by at least April 25. Depends on when they get the snow off the road.
Jason, as himself says
I love a desert sunset.
Dee says
i like it! I would love to see a desert sunset in real life one day.
