Saguaro SKP Park, Benson, AZ



We spent last week in Benson, AZ.  We have stayed in Benson a couple of times, but it has been awhile.  So, we have been busy driving around southern Arizona getting familiar with the area again.  We liked it quite a bit last time and we still do.  We drove to Davis-Monthan AFB/Tucson one day.  On the second day, we drove to Ft. Huachuca Army Base/Sierra Vista and to Patagonia to see where we would be spending our winter.  On the third day, we drove over to Casa Verde near Phoenix to see another Co-op park.  That park wasn’t as nice as the one in Benson.  
Look George!  It's delivery Oats!
After all that driving around, we decided to stay home to do a little resting and catching up on everything.  

We did some walking around the park, took photos of the casitas that we liked the best.  The Casitas face east so quite a few of the photos are of their backsides.  Most of them have nice porches and decks facing towards the east.




The lots are very spacious and people do quite a bit of landscaping.  We were assigned a front row site and fell in love with the view.



  

Across the street we were able to watch Quail run back and forth.  They are very comical little birds.  They really kept the cats entertained. 


We know we have not seen all of the Co-op parks yet, but we decided to get on the Saguaro SKP's waiting list here in Benson.  There are 372 people waiting to have a site here which means it may take up to 7 years to get a site.  


In the meantime, we plan to keep looking at the other parks.  We might change our minds and decide on a different park.  We can be on more than one waiting list.  We will have to wait and see.
