Disappointment

Our friend Tom had told us about an RV Park they had stayed at a couple of years ago. Tom knows that I am looking for an RV Park where we can actually see the desert, not like the one we are in that is larger than the town I grew up in. From what he told us about Sunflower RV Resort, there was an area on one side where you could look out across a wash into the desert.

We decided this afternoon to go out to the community of Surprise to take a look at Sunflower RV Park. You can tell as you drive along the freeway that Spring is showing up in many places. This is Brittle Bush --

We were lining up to turn onto Thompson Ranch Road heading toward the park, when we had to stop and wait for this rather large long train --

Sunflower Park is a part of the CalAm Resorts group, the same one that the park we are staying at, Valle del Oro, belongs to. I think Sunflower may be one of their older parks. There are VERY few RVs in the park, it is mostly filled with Park Models with Arizona Rooms. Many of them look like older models. The few RV slots are scattered throughout the Resort in between Park Models.

We did find the section along the back fence overlooking a wash and the desert. Unfortunately, it is reserved for short-term transient RVs. There is no landscaping in this area.

We were disappointed in what we found at Sunflower. I guess we'll have to keep looking...
