Downtown Tucson

Question

Hi. I'm planning on staying at a hotel in downtown Tucson for one night in September with my family. Does anyone know of a hotel where Iwe can park our 30ft RV overnight while we stay? Thank You.

Answer

Finding accommodations in downtown Tucson that can handle a 30-foot RV overnight can be a bit challenging, as most standard hotels do not have large RV parking. However, there are several options to consider that cater to RVs while still being convenient for downtown activities.

Hotels with RV-Friendly Parking:

Fairfield Inn & Suites Tucson Downtown: Some guests have reported parking larger vehicles in their lot with prior arrangement. It’s recommended to call ahead and confirm if a 30ft RV can be accommodated.
Courtyard by Marriott Tucson Downtown: Offers limited large vehicle parking. Again, advance notice is key to ensure a spot.

Alternative RV-Friendly Options Near Downtown:

Tucson/Love’s Travel Stop or Pilot/Flying J Locations: Not in the immediate downtown core, but these locations provide overnight RV parking with amenities. From here, you could drive into downtown for sightseeing.
KOA Tucson or RV Parks Nearby: KOA and other RV parks are within 15–20 minutes of downtown Tucson. They offer full hookups and overnight stays while still allowing easy access to downtown attractions.
Private Driveway Rentals or RV-Friendly Short-Term Parking: Platforms like Hipcamp or RVshare sometimes list private properties in Tucson where overnight RV parking is allowed.

Tips:

Always call ahead to confirm that your 30ft RV can be accommodated; standard hotel parking lots may have height or length restrictions.
Consider arriving in the late afternoon to ensure space availability and maneuvering time.
If staying at an RV park outside downtown, check for shuttle services or plan a short drive into the city for dinner and sightseeing.

While downtown Tucson has limited direct RV parking at hotels, combining a hotel stay with a nearby RV park or large vehicle-friendly facility is the most practical approach. This ensures safety for your vehicle while keeping you close to downtown attractions for your short visit.
