There is a dog park across the street where patrons can take their pets as well. Some other policies to note include the park’s quiet time, which starts at 10:00 PM, that there is no smoking allowed in the buildings, and that guests’ RVs must be newer than 15 years old.
While the RV park is open year-round, the busiest season of operation usually occurs between April and October. Some of the people who will visit the park are there to experience the warmer temperatures the region is known for.

A majority of the people who stay at the Lazy Coyote are repeat guests.
A number of reviews have been given by people who have stayed at the park. Many reviews mention the small-town atmosphere. When talking about the area, one guest said, “It is convenient to Yuma, without being right in town, and is only 15 minutes from the Foothills.
