Red Barn RV Park & Campground - Benson, Arizona

My husband and I were just passing through for the night and needed a place to park our truck camper. The lady I reserved the spot with on the phone was very kind and accommodating. It is right next to the highway so there is quite a bit of rode noise but that doesn’t bother us. They are dog friendly however our spot was full of goat heads and I could barely walk my dog around without him getting them in his paws. All in all it was a place for us to stop for the night but I don’t think I would stay if longer then that.

Perfect for a night passing through the area! A little bit of road noise but that’s to be expected right off of the highway. Sharon, the owner was so nice and friendly. We were able to arrive later in the evening and she had us all set up! We will definitely use again if we need to.

Update: There arent photos of the bathroom in the VRBO listing but the cabin DOES have its own bathroom and it is very modern and has a huge shower (no tub).

Managers were responsive and home was spotless. Everything that was needed was in the home. Nice fluffy towels and the mattress was so comfy. (New, soft yet firm foam mattress.) The noise from the highway that others have mentioned was very very faint and not an issue. There is a fan setting on the minisplit IF youre extremely sensitive to the highway sound. But living in town would be louder than the faint sounds here. We couldn't find the tv remote and it looks like you'd need Roku to watch anything at all, but that wasn't an issue for us so we didnt ask.

Kitchen was well stocked. The only advice we could suggest is maybe a light over the bathroom mirror and a hook and eye to catch the gap on the bathroom door? But those were such minor things and the stay was "100% will rent again!" We hope you develop more cabins!

UPDATE- The owner heard about our experience (below) and was horrified. The situation has now been resolved ten times over. While we didn't end up staying at the Red Barn, through the exchanges we have had with the owner since we are confident in recommending the Red Barn as one of those rare businesses that have a genuine owner that is dedicated to providing the best possible service and customer experience.

My wife and I are cycling around the world for a children's hospice charity, the US being country #28. We have cycled all day to reach the Red Barn, as it states tents are welcome (most state tents aren't welcome). Upon arrival, a less than friendly manager informed us that rents aren't welcome in July and August in case it rains, and we sued the owner for getting wet (we are from Scotland and are used to getting wet, regardless, we have a tent capable to whatever the weather gods throw at us). That said, there is no rain forecast for the next few days, but the manager wasn't prepared to allow us to stay or speak to the owner,

We stayed for 9 months, for hubby's work. It is right behind the interstate. Between the traffic, rumble strips on the interstate and the train, that runs all night and feral cats running rampant, in the campground, I wouldn't recommend. Now for the money situation, Shannon knew that we could possibly leave, due to a transfer at work, She informed her host, after we paid for a whole month, there would be NO PARTIAL REFUNDS! So we lost 2 weeks of money, 300 dollars, because they are money hungry! We had to throw a2ay items that we stored under our skirt, under our 5th wheel, because Tammy, the guest host would turn on the outside water spicket and let it run all night! It was soaked and mildewed! The grass was cut, around the campers, either. They had 2 washers and 1 working dryer. Every time they had an event there, the residents into the park was inconvenienced! You can see the closeness of the interstate, long grass and the wet spot under our camper in my pics! Also the water is sucky well water with no pressure and aw3ful taste and smell and clogged up the sprayers in the kitchen and bathroom!

Such a surprising delight😊 was driving through on a Sunday night. We first tried to stay at I-10 resort and they didn’t take anyone without a reservation on Sunday. Red Barn was open and ready to except us on the dark night. As soon as you drive in, it’s instantly felt like this property is loved 🥰. The staff is amazing and the barn was just wonderful to quietly get school work done. This will be a definite we when drive by again. Oh go check out tombstone too. Check out the bathrooms in the barn, someone added special touches to everything.

Lee is so kind, and knowledgeable about important things to see while in town. Just stopped in on our way across country. Planned to stay two nights, and ended up booking a third. The little on site shop has DVDs for borrowing, books for trade, and even some ice cream. Showers and bathrooms were spotless. Can't say enough nice things about the owner she really is wonderful. This RV park is 10x better than anything else we saw in town which looked like RVs squished like sardines into a parking lot.

Stayed there for one night. New owners (Dell and Shannon I think?) were great and very accommodating. From what I understand they have made MAJOR improvements from when they bought the park and it shows. They are still completing some improvements so will be even better as time passes. The only drawback for us was the freeway is right next to the park so pretty noisy. There were also a fair amount of goatheads on the ground so my dog had a bit of a hard time. Other than that would highly recommend!
