ShadyDell-JulianneGCrane_JamesWSmithShady Dell RV Park in mile-high Bisbee, Ariz., is southeast of Tucson on Hwy. 80 near the Mexico border.

This place is a pip. Not only does it have RV spaces with full hookups, but there are ten completely restored vintage trailers for overnight or weekly rental.

The collection includes a 1949 Airstream, 1950 Spartanette, 1957 El Ray and 1951 Royal Mansion. Prices range from $45 to $105 a night for single or double occupancy.

In addition to the period trailers, there is a classic 1947 Chris-Craft yacht permanently dry docked. The 38-foot pleasure boat sleeps two for $145 a night and is popular with newlyweds.

For eating in vintage style, there is Dot’s Diner, a 1957 Valentine model that has been restored in art deco style. Located on the park premises, the 10-stool diner serves breakfast and lunch seven days a week.

According to management, Shady Dell is popular for family reunions, sometimes taking up the entire park.
