This is a tricky campground. Be sure you pay with a credit card or request an immediate receipt. If you extend a day or two the guy wants cash, (what does he do with that you may wonder!!!!) and you don't get a receipt, nor do you get a receipt if you come in on Fridays. Most of the people come in Sep and stay until March or April. Many have NO military affiliation. It's friends of friends - taking up spots! And, hopefully you won't come in when the feuding is going on - the park is very divided; even though they all have been going there for years. The town of Gila Bend is practically non-existent; there is a fabulous Shrimp Farm nearby; with an Olive grove. Organ Pipe Nat'l Monument is 70 miles south and very worthwhile. The park is entertaining, with touch and goes daily and often 'bomb'drops.
