LOCATION
Phoenix is the hub of Arizona Restaurant Week, so you can expect to find a lot of participating restaurants. However, vendors spread out across the state, from Sedona to Tucson. If you're staying in Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, you can visit a bustling metro area with resorts, golf courses, nightclubs and the Desert Botanical Garden. Phoenix also has plenty of small businesses that sell eclectic and handmade goods.
Phoenix is easy to access because it sits in the middle of multiple interstates, including I-17 and I-10. The climate is dry and hot, perfect for an RV adventure — as long as you bring plenty of water and sunscreen.
RVING AT THE EVENT
Arizona Restaurant Week doesn't have official RV parking. Before your trip, research the restaurants that you want to visit, and select a campground. If possible, make a reservation to secure your spot.
Arizona is hot in May, with average daily highs in the upper 90s, so choose a campground with water and electrical hookups. This allows you to stay cool and avoid heat stroke. If you're a swimmer, look for a campground with an accessible pool or lake.
Desert Sands RV Park entices visitors with its swimming pools and relaxing environment. Desert Sands RV Park is also close to numerous attractions, such as the Desert Botanical Garden. While at the campground, you can enjoy free cable and wireless internet.
Paradise RV Resort offers well-maintained grounds with an on-site restaurant. Get out and stretch your legs with their golf course, swimming pool, pickleball courts, game room, clubhouse and parks. They also have a library and laundry facilities.

You can choose from the many chain hotels that offer free breakfast and other amenities. From boutique hotels to budget motels, Arizona has a wide range of options dotted all over the state.
Scottsdale has a large number of hotel rooms for you to book, as many travelers come to the city to enjoy its peaceful atmosphere. Scottsdale is home to plenty of spa resorts, too, so you can relax and be pampered as you enjoy the delicious offerings from the local restaurants.
