Construction will begin in January on Gila Bend, Ariz.’s second RV park, a 70-site resort on 20 acres that will include a 2-acre lake that will be suitable for both swimming and kayaking. The $2 million resort will be called Sonora RV Resort and will be located on the west side of State Route 85, about 13 miles north of downtown Gila Bend.
“We have our permits in hand and are ready to start building,” said park manager Carl J. Rygg, who hopes to have the park completed by September 2018.
The park will include several amenities, including a full-service restaurant, a 3,000-square-foot clubhouse, as well as pickleball and tennis courts.
Sonora RV Resort also abuts land and off-road trails, which guests can explore in their RZRs and other off-road vehicles.
Rygg said he also plans to provide guided tours of the desert backroads for people who would like to explore the desert but don’t have their own off-road vehicles.
“It’s been a long time since Arizona has had a new RV resort,” Rygg said. “Arizona has a lot of pent up demand and people who want to try something different.”
