greenroads: Voyager RV Resort, Tucson AZ

More palm trees than Florida! This is a view of Voyager from the outside.

We arrived at Voyager Tucson on December 1st and are booked in until the end of January. John had found this park online when researching RV destinations 4 years ago! Finally got to it. Jackie and Nick from Kincardine bought a park model here so we have appreciated them showing us around and "playing" with us. There is a lot to see and do around Tucson and heading south toward Green Valley, Amado and Tubac is viable. We really liked it down there but are still close enough to go back for golf, hiking or visiting.

Front gate. They guide you right into your site. Marriage saver.

Voyager is the largest RV park we have experienced. It is very much like a resort with all the amenities you can imagine and then some! The activities are endless. Most of the parks we have been in have some kind of organized activities especially cards and crafts but this is unreal. You can take lessons of all kinds ranging from dancing to learning spanish. If you would like to do stained glass or silversmithing that is available too and many more hobbies and activities, too numerous to name.

We live on 7th. These are called casitas (little house) and are for rent. Very expensive however.

There are many living options here. We have talked to several people who have been coming here for years. I think this park was established in the 80's but it is nicely kept.

If you are into sports you can play golf (par 3 course on site or others nearby), shuffleboard, tennis, pickle ball (smaller court, different ball than tennis), volley ball, baseball, swimming, hot tubs, hiking club, biking club, and who knows what else. If you can think of it you can probably do it here. There is NO excuse to be bored. If you decide to do something you can usually just show up. Some activities have fees, some don't.

This little par three course in the park looks better than it is. But many people do enjoy playing it.

John enjoys using the extensive gym facility.

I think the sporting facilities have lots of appeal and of course we are seeing many fit seniors!

Baseball diamonds

This hot tub is very large and a good meeting place. There is a smaller one but it is also large!

The pools are lovely and warm. The indoor pool is steamy actually and the outdoor pools kept in the mid to high 80's. The hot tubs are kept at 103 F. Pickle Ball is a big sport here. It is like tennis but not so much running. There was a U.S. Pickle Ball Tournament going on when we arrived. More fit seniors. I think we will try it.

The ballroom is so big and shiny! We have not attended anything there yet. There are weekly concerts that are expensive so I think some of the entertainment is pretty good. The library is huge and you just take books on the honour system. I don't know about trades. I think they expect you to return the books.

We have not been getting into the organized activities so far but who knows?

Store an Restaurant

Where is the Men's Laundry??

Market Daze once a month

Not only does Voyager house RV's and Park Models but regular homes!

If you need a doctor, massage, physical therapy, hair cut, pet grooming etc. you can get it here. There is a variety store, restaurant and bar, post office, library and a bank. Oh, if you don't feel like reading the newsletter just turn to the Voyager TV channel to see what is going on or go to the activity centre office. It reminds me of a cruise ship!

Voyager has RV sites, privately owned park models and homes as well as rental trailers or park models and an Inn. You would think with all this it would be nuts in here but so far it is not. I think things will get busier in January but crowding is not an issue so far. It is like a well manicured and organized town. Everything is clean and well kept. Of course there are rules but I can understand why. It would be chaos without them. No laundry hanging out, limits on what can be on your site, etc. Nothing we can't live with. We can still see the mountains and the desert from certain vantage points.
