On timing, the local rule of thumb: October–April in the low desert; June–September up at higher elevation (Flagstaff, Mogollon Rim). Once you're settled, the area is set up for canyon rim camping, stargazing in dark-sky parks, and hiking red-rock canyons. Arizona also has 3 national parks — Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, and Saguaro — that make a good anchor for a rv parks trip.
