Why do you say that and do you have any places you can suggest I want to be on the az side
I dumped my Emerald Cove membership last year after having it for seven years. The initial purchase price was steep but I accepted that, the problem came when the annual maintenance fees kept going up every year ($400+). What really pissed me off the most was one of the sales tactics they used was that all future parks would be included in my package... Well, when they wanted and additional $3000 to be able to use the new park at Havazoo Springs, I was done. That was my issue with the management, my other issues have to do with the suck ass water conditions all along the Parker Strip. It's pretty bad when I'm considering a Parker only boat and save my Hondo for everywhere else.
I don't have any suggestions for camp grounds yet because I've been using the local motels/casinos lately. As for better water conditions for our type of boats I like Needles, Big River, Blythe and Yuma. All have their advantages and drawbacks but being able to run the boat without being absolutely aggravated at the crappy ass water is amazing.
Good luck in your search.
