For centuries, Yuma, Arizona has been a destination for travelers in the southwest, from the brazen Spanish explorers in the 1500’s to the Okies escaping the Dust Bowl in the 1930’s. The early travelers came because it was the safest place to cross the mighty Colorado River – now they come as it is the sunniest city in the United States – a welcome change for Canadian Snowbirds fleeing the cold, grey skies of the great white north.
While in the ‘days of old’ it was merely a crossroads for travelers, the region is now a popular winter home and Westwind RV & Golf Resort the premier destination. While visions of a dry desert play prominently in the mind when discussing Arizona, the region is a Mecca for boating, off-roading, agriculture and a plethora of festivals. In fact, agriculture is the state’s number one industry, producing traditional vegetables like lettuce (and over 175 other crops) to the exotic Medjool dates (Arizona is now the world’s largest producer).
As much as we love to get away from the RV and explore, it’s also great to ‘stay and play’. This is where Westwind truly excels as a winter home. Grab your beverage of choice and walk or drive your golf cart to the fairway for a morning of golf; stimulate your mind with classes in sculpture, Spanish, oil painting or guitar; keep your idle hands busy in the craft classes with ceramics, quilting, silversmithing or woodshop.
Card players can revel in the many card games and tournaments, and if that’s not enough socializing, there are dozens of special nights and events to showcase your dancing skills! Get your body and mind moving with bocce ball, horseshoes, volleyball and pickleball or dive into a class of yoga, Zumba or water exercise. And this is just a sampling of the choices offered at the number one resort in Arizona.
It’s also a perfect place to purchase a second home. Park models are available from as little as $29,995 plus tax in this 5 star rated resort (and there is financing available). Your own personal oasis can also become an excellent investment with suggested rents of $1600/month.
