Jakes Corner RV Park

On Highway 188 in the rugged Mogollon Rim country of central Arizona, Jakes Corner RV Park occupies a piece of western history while serving modern RV travelers with full hookup service and reliable amenities. The park sits on the site of an original stagecoach stop along a route that once threaded through some of Arizona's most dramatic terrain, and the surrounding landscape—ponderosa pine forests, rocky canyon walls, and the sweeping escarpment of the Mogollon Rim—provides a natural backdrop as impressive today as it was when the coaches rolled through. Walking access to Jake's Corner Country Store and Jake's Corner Bar adds a genuine Old West roadside character that few RV parks anywhere can replicate. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service accommodate rigs of all sizes, including pull-through configurations suited to large motorhomes and fifth wheels. High-speed internet and cable TV are available for guests with connectivity needs, and on-site laundry facilities handle the practical demands of extended stays. The park is pet-friendly and keeps the experience simple and functional—a quality that suits travelers using Jakes Corner as a base for exploring the surrounding region as much as it does those passing through on a longer route. The Mogollon Rim landscape that surrounds Jakes Corner is among the most geologically striking in the American Southwest. The Rim itself is a dramatic escarpment that drops nearly two thousand feet from the Colorado Plateau to the basin below, and the ponderosa pine forests blanketing the high country give way to chaparral and desert scrub on the lower slopes. Tonto National Forest, one of the largest national forests in the country, begins practically at the park's edges, and the hiking, ATV, and horseback riding trails threading through it provide days of exploration without repeating yourself. Tonto Natural Bridge State Park—home to what is recognized as the world's largest natural travertine bridge, spanning 183 feet—is among the most remarkable natural sites accessible from the park. Roosevelt Lake, formed by Theodore Roosevelt Dam on the Salt River, offers boating, bass fishing, and spectacular desert lake scenery within easy reach. The town of Payson, just north, provides dining, provisioning, and the character of a small mountain community that serves as the genuine gateway to Rim country. Heber and the White Mountains extend the exploration possibilities further east. Jakes Corner RV Park is open year-round, and the Mogollon Rim's elevation—around 5,000 feet in the Payson area—keeps summer temperatures noticeably cooler than the Phoenix Valley, making it a particularly appealing escape during the hottest months. Fall and spring bring ideal conditions for hiking and exploring the national forest, and the park's strategic position on Highway 188 makes it a natural stop for travelers working the back road loop between Phoenix, the White Mountains, and eastern Arizona. Book a site and use the Rim country as your base.
