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...
   Read moreDo not buy a there They have little group of residence that get any benefits. Don't trust real estate agent they all work as a team. Because they're on the Indian reservation you can't get any help from Scottsdale you have to go to Indian reservation to you kind of between you're stuck to get help and they know that. They do not check on elderly they take advantage of their vulnerability. I was younger and many called me about u such as High utility bills yet Afraid to fight. Because it's on reservation land is hard to fight any thing and they know this. I wasn't able to use any Scottsdale services and it was so frustrating to see what was happening yet could get no help from City. They are in a win win situation there and its really sad that in the United States of America it's not t person on the street asking for help we need to fear. It's scandalous people like ones in this community that look good, say the right words, yet turn your head they stab you in the back. There are many nice people that live there yet it's not worth the hassle. You own the home yet will never have freedom from their rules or the high rent abd utilities you pay, and I goes up every year. I would suggest of you want this type place get a place that is not located on Indian reservation land where you able to utilize City of Scottsdale for any problems. This place is solely Indian Reservation land absolutely no help from City of Scottsdale. I need had black mold and had to walk away leave everything. They resold my home "as is," which never should never happened. It should have been torn down . Black mold spreads. Since I finally got a diagnosis my family is behind me and shocked at what these people will do to make money. I am not a one to write bad review,...
   Read moreThe Master Property is attractively planned-having many intimate/neighbor friendly-dead end/looped and gently winding roadways/streets. This community was also developed with inviting /Public Areas, indoor group spaces, recreational areas. Notably, the Property as a whole has been well kept and continues to be proactively maintained, efficiently managed/operated with regular group events-clear notifications visible from your vehicle upon your casual entry into the park. I can honestly say that it is a warm, inviting community and it radiates that feeling to even the most casual visitors (I feel in large part due to the high standard that home owner's are held to in the individual upkeep and maintenance of their home's/lot's overall environment and upkeep of t's tidy visual appeal. This property continues to be a stand out for having their own on property maintenance personnel available 24/7 for routine tasks or the odd urgent issue that might require expert attention. Due to the high level of attention, quality and consistency with which this park is kept and operated that I rate...
