11. Pegg’s Adult RV Park, Long Beach, Washington
The Long Beach Peninsula is a scenic stretch of the Washington Coast. One of the most popular age-qualified resorts on the peninsula is Pegg’s Adult RV Park in Oceanside. From your campsite, it’s an easy walk through the dunes to reach the sandy ocean beach.
Long Beach claims home to the longest continuous beach in the country that you can drive on (at 28 miles). This area has lots of museums and local shops and restaurants, and every August they host the International Kite Festival. I highly recommend visiting the wacky and wonderful Marsh’s Free Museum to see Jake the Alligator Man, their quirky gifts, and antique coin-operated machines.

RV parks without kids are boring.
This article is about 55+ RV parks. We prefer to stay where there are no kids. Each to his own.
We also prefer to stay where there are no kids..
Some people don’t want to deal with the noise that children often make.
Well you are entitled to your opinion. I would actually like to find some that don’t allow kids or pets.
RV parks without kids are HEAVEN. I’m very glad you will not be visiting mine. 🙂
Regarding Surprise in AZ, check out reviews in Campendium, RV Parkey, etc. Most are not very favorable. I would suggest Paradise RV Resort in the same area.
We stayed for 3 months winter 2020-2021. Loved it. Reserved 4 months for next year.
You’re absolutely right Leo. Kids are the future of the world and they are very entertaining as long as they behave. I wouldn’t stay at a resort or campground that doesn’t allow them. I’m a “young” 72 and we live in a gated adult community…………worst move I ever made !
Thanks for not bringing them to my 55+ resort!
You missed one…The Palms in Yuma, Arizona. Beautifully maintained, gate guarded, lap pool, play pool, tennis courts, putting green, monthly shows, exercise room, on and on.. Too many to list. Truly a luxurious 55+ RV Resort.
let me know when you’re ready to sell.
Can’t believe that this turned into a debate over kids. It’s about providing a choice. Stay if you like, go elsewhere if you don’t. I have 8 grandkids and love the heck out of them. It doesn’t make me a bad person wanting a break from them sometimes.
Choice is the key. In Arizona, particularly, when we were under 55, full-timing in a new rig with a 10-year-old and a retriever, it was a challenge to find a commercial park where we could stay. When we moved here, and opened a small park of our own, we vowed not to be that restrictive. We get many respectable guests who simply can find no other place to stay in our rural area.
Amen!!!
Cotton Lane RV Resort, Goodyear, AZ is also a 55+. Everything close by including medical.

Here’s a question for you…if you winter in the SouthWest what park(s) do you summer in when it gets too hot to go outside? We are looking at our 1st summer as residents of Mesa, AZ and wondering where to spend the summer in our class A…preferably in an over 55 setting.
Bill check out Venture In RV Resort, Show Low, Arizona on the list above. 3 hours from you and a world away from the summer heat. It gets warm but nothing compared to the valley.
Oregon or Washington are pretty nice in the summer, sans forest fires. We only run out air conditioner a few weeks out of the year.
Check out Sunset RV Park in Custer, South Dakota. We are a small, quaint park geared for adults and seniors. There is so much to see and do around the Black Hills. You’ll love it here!
Monte Vista RV Resort in East Mesa is a nice option. It is convenient to pretty much all the necessities and amenities you could need or want, including very easy access to the freeway, medical care, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, golf, restaurants, shopping, and more. There are also other good resorts on Ellsworth Road nearby, as well. Permanent Station 212 of the Mesa Fire & Rescue Department is directly adjacent to Monte Vista. In fact, the former sales office for the resort served as the initial (temporary) location for the fire station. This I know because as a former Mesa Fire & Rescue FF/Paramedic I was once stationed there and became rather familiar with all the RV resorts in the area on a professional basis. Though now long retired, an RV owner, a non-resident of AZ, and over 55 y/o myself, I would stay at Monte Vista and a few others nearby without hesitation, EMS availability being a strong influencing factor. Perhaps you want to experience a summer in AZ to experience what it would be like to become a future year-round resident. Fair enough. But it does not take long to decide whether or not to drop a hot horseshoe. The summer heat can be brutal on people as well as A/C units. This is especially true in an RV or park model no matter how well insulated the manufacturer builds them. It’s also true in a well-constructed house located within the Sonora Desert. That is simply a reality. Cooler summertime options are just a few hours away and I would strongly recommend creating a backup plan for when you drop that horseshoe.
we just bought a class C, RV and would try to find some good camp grounds in Oregon and Washington State. Can you help.
