Apache Junction
While on our recent vacation to Arizona, we noticed that most of the campers were from cold places - classic snowbirds - most of which appeared to be retired. We felt right at home among them - they were friendly, and in some cases, helpful. As I was hitching the trailer, one nice gent offered to give me a welcome hand.

This picture shows our campsite in the Apache Junction KOA. Apache Junction is a community just on the eastern edge of the Phoenix Metroplex. The Superstition Mountains are just east of the campground, providing a spectacular view.
I can see why lots of retirees invade this place in the winter months. Arizona has a very mild climate in the southern half of the state. The camping is nice and the people - both locals and other campers - are great.

And isn’t it easy to CCW there?

Since we both have our Utah CCW, which is reciprocal with Arizona, the answer is yes we can and yes we did.
Oh, by the way, packing a gun did not make either of us go on an insane shooting spree. Imagine that . . .
