Category: Accommodations
Telephone: (480) 987-3100
Address: 24810 S. Rittenhouse Rd.
Description: Here’s an unusual find off the beaten path: RV spaces set amid a peach orchard. The Schnepf family leases spaces for 25 full RV hookups and a large area for dry camping on their 250-acre farm. Guests can partake of the many attractions that bring out locals and others, including pick-your-own produce, a country store, petting zoo, and picnic area. The farm holds several festivals throughout the year and leases its land for the annual Country Thunder country music extravaganza in April, which means some dates are unavailable for campers. Rates are $35 nightly for a full hookup and $20 nightly for dry camping; $200 per week (for full hookup) and $450 per month. The maximum length of stay, though, is 45 days.

City: Queen Creek, AZ

Address: 24810 S. Rittenhouse Rd.

A slice of peach pie or peach ice cream is the ultimate way to end a jaunt to the farm, which celebrated its 70th year in 2011.
