Putters Paradise RV Park, Snowflake, AZ

We stayed at Putters Paradise RV Park for six weeks total.  First for a month at the beginning of the summer and two more weeks at the end.  The majority of spaces seem occupied by full-timers and/or seasonal residents.  There is a friendly, albeit older, vibe - meaning that kids are tolerated, but certainly not encouraged or catered to.

There were a few manufactured units like the one next to our site in the park.

Clubhouse

This may be my biggest complaint - how they handle and talk to visitors with kids.  On the issue of kids - we were told that we could not stay more than a month due to the kdis, but then realized that some children who were there at the beginning of the summer were also there at the end of the summer and clearly lived there full-time.  Secondly, there is a very nice clubhouse, with a ping-pong table, games, exercise equipment, theater seating and large TV, but I was told a number of times that the kids need to be supervised at all times.  Such repeated warnings and directions are unnecessary because I would never let my kids hang out there unattended!  There is a pool, but kids are only allowed in it during certain times of the day.  When we returned to the park for the second time and we were parking the rig Brother went to the clubhouse to use the restroom and was asked where his parents were.  There is a general uneasiness about kids at this park.  This gave me the sense that our presence was not welcome despite the fact that many of the neighbors were pleasant and friendly.  Also, as this location marked the beginning and end of our trip I wanted the kids to enjoy the place and play outside, but there is little for them to do.

Upstairs at the clubhouse

The facilities including the laundry, public restrooms and the rest of the clubhouse are very nice.  It is clear that a lot of care has been put into the place and I understand the desire to keep it in good shape.  I was especially happy with the reasonably priced laundry facilities.

We will likely be back given the reasonable proximity to Rancho Status Quo.  This is a nice park and Snowflake-Taylor has decent shopping, restaurants, and parks!  It would be great if Putters Paradise had a small playground for the kiddos.
