With Phoenix's dry, sunny weather and picturesque desert landscape, you can climb a mountain, take a leisurely bike ride or spend your days golfing. And if you travel to Phoenix in an RV, you'll easily find accommodations.

Weather
Although summer temperatures often surpass 100 degrees Fahrenheit, Phoenix has pleasant and sunny autumns, springs and winters. Many RV parks fill up with seasonal "snowbirds," who come to Phoenix between October and May to escape colder winters in other cities. In summer, wear sunscreen, drink plenty of water and limit your outdoor activities to the early morning or late evening hours. Although winter days are dry, comfortable and sunny, winter nights can get chilly, so pack extra blankets and dress in layers if you plan to go out at night. Make reservations a few months in advance if you plan to camp between October and May.
