Phoenix Metro Area

PhoenixRV Park (Tiny-friendly for movable units)

Desert's Edge RV Park

Desert's Edge RV Park offers a full-service base in north Phoenix with convenient freeway access via I-17, making it ideal for residents who need to navigate the sprawling Valley for work, shopping, or recreation. The park provides pull-through sites for big rigs, full hookups with 30/50-amp service, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a range of amenities: swimming pool and hot tub, fitness center, clubhouse with game room, laundry facilities, restrooms and showers, picnic areas, a playground for families, and an on-site camp store. The property is pet-friendly and offers RV storage, RV wash facilities, and propane service. North Phoenix's location provides access to desert hiking (nearby Daisy Mountain and Cave Creek), Scottsdale's dining and golf, and downtown Phoenix's cultural attractions. The climate is intense in summer—expect 110°F+ and reliance on air conditioning—but winter months (November through March) are nearly perfect with sunny skies and mild temperatures that make outdoor living ideal. The park caters to both full-timers and snowbirds, with monthly and seasonal contracts available. Prospective residents should confirm site availability, length restrictions for THOWs, and whether the park's rules allow permanent residency. If you want Phoenix metro access with resort amenities and big-rig capability, Desert's Edge is a practical, centrally located option for tiny living in the Valley.

Tucson Area

TucsonRV Park (Tiny-friendly for movable units)

Miracle RV Park

Miracle RV Park offers a practical, no-frills base for tiny homes on wheels in Tucson, Arizona's second-largest city and a desert metropolis with genuine character. Located on North Miracle Mile, the park provides full hookups (30/50-amp service), laundry facilities, restrooms and showers, picnic areas, BBQ grills, and campfire rings. The property is pet-friendly with hiking trails nearby, and services include cable TV, trash and recycling pickup, propane availability, and RV storage. Tucson's appeal is twofold: it's a major city with hospitals, universities, cultural attractions, and dining diversity, yet it's surrounded by wild desert and mountain ranges. Saguaro National Park (split into east and west districts) frames the city with iconic cacti and hiking trails, while the Santa Catalina Mountains to the north offer cooler elevation and backcountry access. Tucson's climate is hot in summer (expect 100°F+ June through August) but mild and sunny in winter, making it a popular snowbird destination. The RV park's central location makes errands easy while keeping costs lower than upscale resorts. Prospective residents should confirm site availability, length restrictions for THOWs, and whether the park allows full-time living or seasonal stays. If you want affordable Tucson tiny living with big-city services and desert access, Miracle RV Park is a straightforward, centrally located option.

Rincon Country West RV Resort is a 55+ active adult community in Tucson that pairs tiny/RV living with a resort lifestyle and comprehensive activities program. The property features heated swimming pools and hot tubs, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, billiards room, and an impressive array of craft studios—lapidary, silversmithing, ceramics, stained glass, woodworking, and sewing rooms that allow residents to pursue hobbies year-round.

Rincon Country West's location on South Mission Road places residents near Tucson's southside shopping and services while maintaining quick access to Saguaro National Park West and the Tucson Mountains for hiking. The age-qualified (55+) model fosters a community of active retirees who value organized activities, shared hobbies, and social connection. Prospective residents should confirm lot availability, monthly fees (which typically include amenities and activities), and any rules around guests, pets, or exterior modifications.

Northern Arizona

PrescottTiny Home Community (BYO + amenities)

Acony Bell Tiny Home Community

Acony Bell Tiny Home Community brings tiny living to Prescott, one of Arizona's most desirable small cities, where high-desert elevation (around 5,400 feet) delivers mild summers, snowy winters, and a four-season lifestyle rare in the Southwest. The community welcomes tiny homes on wheels and offers a full slate of amenities: outdoor pool for warm afternoons, fitness center, BBQ facilities, fire pits for evening gatherings, a playground for families, and a community center for events. Each home includes a kitchenette, private bathroom, heating and air conditioning, and parking. The property is pet-friendly with access to hiking trails that connect to Prescott National Forest's hundreds of miles of singletrack and forest roads. Prescott's historic downtown—walkable and filled with locally owned shops, restaurants, breweries, and galleries—sits on Courthouse Square and hosts festivals year-round. The city is a hub for retirees, artists, and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate the balance of small-town charm and access to services (hospitals, shopping, cultural events). Prospective residents should confirm THOW certification requirements, lot dimensions, pet policies, and whether the community allows full-time living or seasonal stays.

FlagstaffTiny Home Village (rentals + limited long-term)

Tiny House Block

Tiny House Block in Flagstaff offers one of Arizona's most unique tiny living experiences, set at 7,000 feet in a forest of ponderosa pines where winter brings significant snowfall and summer days stay cool. Flagstaff is Arizona's mountain town—home to Northern Arizona University, a thriving downtown with breweries and coffee shops, and gateway to some of the state's best outdoor recreation: Arizona Snowbowl for skiing, hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, and day trips to the Grand Canyon (90 minutes north). The community provides tiny homes with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, heating (essential for Flagstaff winters), air conditioning for summer, and outdoor dining areas. Amenities include Wi-Fi, free parking, BBQ facilities, and a pet-friendly policy. While primarily a short-term rental operation for tourists and NAU visitors, occasional long-term spots open up—contact management directly for availability and pricing. Flagstaff's climate is the most extreme of Arizona's tiny house communities: expect heavy snow, freezing temperatures, and the need for robust heating systems and insulation. The trade-off is genuine alpine living, proximity to skiing and national parks, and a college-town vibe that brings cultural events, dining diversity, and a younger demographic. If you want Arizona tiny living with real winter and mountain-town culture, Tiny House Block is the state's highest-elevation option.

LuxTiny Community

LuxTiny Community brings tiny house living to Arizona's White Mountains region, where ponderosa pines replace saguaros and elevation (around 6,700 feet) delivers genuine four-season weather with snowy winters and mild summers. Located in Lakeside—a resort town that pairs with neighboring Pinetop—the community offers an escape from the Valley's triple-digit heat while maintaining reasonable proximity to Phoenix (about three hours south). The White Mountains are beloved for outdoor recreation: Sunrise Park Resort for skiing, dozens of lakes for fishing and boating, hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, and cooler temperatures that make summer living comfortable. While specific amenities at LuxTiny are still being finalized as the community develops, the location itself is the draw—clean air, tall pines, and a small-town pace that attracts retirees, remote workers, and weekend warriors from the Valley. Prospective residents should confirm whether the community welcomes movable tiny houses on wheels, park models, or foundation-built small homes, and inquire about lot availability, utility hookups, and monthly fees.

The Gardens RV Community in Show Low offers a full-amenity mountain base for tiny homes on wheels and RVs in Arizona's cooler high country. At 6,400 feet elevation, Show Low delivers the same four-season appeal as neighboring Lakeside and Pinetop—snowy winters for skiing at Sunrise Park, mild summers with afternoon monsoons, and spring and fall that showcase the region's natural beauty. The community provides a complete resort experience: swimming pool for summer days, fitness center, clubhouse for social events, laundry facilities, and full-hookup sites with 50-amp service for larger rigs.

The climate is classic Sonoran Desert: extremely hot summers (plan for 110°F+ June through August) and mild, sunny winters that draw snowbirds from colder states. Prospective residents should confirm site availability, length restrictions for THOWs, and whether the resort allows full-time living or seasonal stays.

CottonwoodTiny Home Community (BYO + foundation)

Verde Valley Tiny Home Community

Verde Valley Tiny Home Community brings tiny living to Arizona's scenic heart—the Verde Valley—where red rock formations, wine country, and historic mining towns create a landscape that rivals Sedona without the tourist pricing. Located near Cottonwood, the community welcomes tiny homes on wheels and small foundation-built cottages with shared amenities including fire pits, picnic areas, community garden space, and hiking trail access. The Verde Valley's elevation (around 3,300 feet) provides milder temperatures than the low desert while staying warmer than the high country—expect hot summers but more comfortable than Phoenix, and mild winters with occasional frost. The region is known for wine production (dozens of tasting rooms along the Verde Valley Wine Trail), outdoor recreation (hiking in Dead Horse Ranch State Park and Red Rock State Park), and proximity to Sedona (20 minutes) and the historic mining town of Jerome (perched on Cleopatra Hill above the valley). Cottonwood's downtown has been revitalized with breweries, restaurants, and galleries, while maintaining small-town affordability. Prospective residents should confirm whether the community allows movable tiny houses, foundation builds, or both; inquire about lot dimensions, utility hookups, and monthly fees. Verde Valley's location between Phoenix and Flagstaff makes it accessible while preserving a quieter, less-touristy vibe. If you want Arizona tiny living in red rock country with wine tasting and Sedona access, Verde Valley Tiny Home Community offers a scenic, affordable alternative.

MiamiTiny Home Community (BYO + affordable)

Pinal Mountain Tiny Village

Pinal Mountain Tiny Village offers one of Arizona's most affordable tiny living options in the historic copper mining region near Miami and Globe, where the mountains rise above the desert floor and history runs deep. The community sits at around 3,500 feet elevation—high enough to shave a few degrees off summer heat and low enough to keep winters mild—making it a practical year-round base. The area's mining heritage is visible everywhere: historic downtown Globe with its turn-of-the-century architecture, the Besh-Ba-Gowah Archaeological Park showcasing Salado culture, and working copper mines that still define the region's economy. Outdoor recreation is abundant: Pinal Mountain to the south offers hiking and cooler temps, Roosevelt Lake to the north provides boating and fishing, and Tonto National Forest surrounds the area with backcountry access. The community welcomes tiny homes on wheels and park models with basic amenities—full hookups, parking, and shared outdoor spaces. Because Miami-Globe remains one of Arizona's most affordable regions, lot rent is significantly lower than metro Phoenix or tourist destinations. Prospective residents should confirm lot availability, THOW certification requirements, and whether the community allows full-time living. If you want budget-friendly Arizona tiny living with mountain access, mining-town history, and lake recreation, Pinal Mountain Tiny Village is a hidden gem in central Arizona's high desert.
