At first glance of reviews, it may be intimidating to know whether or not Shadow Mountain Village RV park is worth the time to consider. I am here to be the less popular opinion and share my outstanding experience. The Mobile Home Park is being converted as the lease on the land will expire in 2026. While I absolutely understand the emotions and distaste displayed in other reviews; I also have to be the devils advocate and share that from an RV park perspective, we couldn’t have asked for a better setup. SMV is affordable, has full hookups, is gated off nicely, and is conveniently located right off the 101 with incredibly easy access to the 202 interchange. You can be in Scottsdale, Mesa, or Tempe within minutes. It’s tucked right on the edge of Scottsdale, and while you do have foot traffic outside of the park; there is a nice privacy wall to keep it separate. Ed, the security man, is such an amazing person! He drives around the park regularly and always made me feel safe to know he was that close. Fortunately, I believe his job was uneventful due to the respect of the community members-but it was certainly nice to have a smiling face to say hello to! Linda with the office is so incredibly kind. We made the move from Iowa—our first BIG move. She was so patient and so kind everytime I called and had a question. When we had to leave unexpectedly she was so accommodating and compassionate. The only negative experience we had was having our bikes stolen. That was definitely a downside that we should’ve been more prepared for. So make sure you have GOOD locks on your bikes-especially when you live against McKellips. We had the best winter we could have had! Thank you SMV for offering a convenient, enjoyable, living area for RVers! We look forward to coming back next year! Tip for those at SMV and Amazon-get the plus code from Google Maps of your exact location in the park! Put that in the “additional notes” section! Saves you and the driver headaches and lost packages!

AVOID THIS PLACE. If you have a Class A, 5th wheel, Class C or anything remotely heavy you will sink! It took nearly 4 hours between 4 guys digging and 2 guys with a wrecker to get my coach back on the pavement. RUN unless you enjoy this problem. Pictures speak more than words. Lady in the office and the maintenance staff are worthless.

Shadow Mountain is closing down. People have to have their homes out of the park by October 2026. For the empty spaces the power that be are renting spaces to RV homes. When we When bought our home we were told that the park had a 99 year lease and there was 50 years left on the lease. So we bought a nice double wide with a car port and a sun room. We really liked the house and the park. It turns out that the lease was only a 50 year lease and we have to be out by October 2026. We had planned to die in this house. Well that won't happen.
