Mesa/Apache Junction KOA
I can't believe how green the desert is right now! We hare between Tucson and Mesa with green as fast as the eye can see. 
Welcome and check in at the KOA office. 
We have a large site with outdoor kitchen and patio. Great for the moderate Arizona climate this time of year.
Cody enjoying the shade and light breeze. 
Sun setting wile Darrel enjoyed the Brier. 
Small and not a lot of sites. Some of the campgrounds have 2200 sites in the area. Yuck!Mesa/Apache Junction KOA:
https://koa.com/campgrounds/mesa/- Campsite #71 - $81.40 per night (before the KOA discount and points redemption)
- Pool, Laundry and dog area (not great)
- Far from Mesa as you are literally on the far edge of Apache Junction
This KOA is on the east edge of Apache Junction and is about a 35 minute drive to PHX airport. There are restaurants, food stores and shopping within 1.5 miles of the campground. The campground has crushed granite for the parking pad and camp site and is dusty. We upgraded to a patio site as the weather was forecasted to be 26 deg C. We used some of our KOA points for $50 off our stay. I would stay here agin as it has great access to the rural areas and I can get to the airport in reasonable time. I think some people will find this to be too far outside of Scottsdale/Phoenix area.
