We just wrapped up our 2023/2024 winter season at our co-op lot in Benson, Arizona at SKP Saguaro. We became lifetime leaseholders at this Escapees park back in 2018, intending it to be our winter nomadic port.
Since we got our lot, Benson is now where our vintage bus Zephyr lives. Usually in the free storage area while our lot is in the rental pool. We then use our camper van to get across country from wherever we leave our boat on the east coast.
A van, a bus, a boat and a Cat-sita?However, reality hasn’t lived up to our original intentions of spending most winters there.
Between a little pandemic and some active hurricane seasons, we’ve only managed to get back every other year.
Nevertheless, we always do love our time in Benson. Spending time in the beautiful desert, exploring southeast Arizona, spreading out and of course living back aboard Zephyr.
We’ve gotten a lot of questions about SKP Saguaro and our lease there. So before we headed back to Florida a few weeks ago, we filmed a little overview.
The video going over the amenities, why we became leaseholders, costs to stay as a guest, process to become a leaseholder and the ongoing costs.
Here’s the video we just released:
If you’d like this information in a written format, I’ll refer you back to our original post when we first got our lease. I’ve also upkeep the post over the years keep tracking of the ongoing costs from year to year (M&Os and assessments):

I’ll be back over the coming weeks with a re-cap of our time in Benson this season (including a video on the things we did around the area) and our fun adventures back across to Florida.
For now, we just arrived back to Y-Not in Sanford, FL keeping just miles ahead of the arctic blast. We have been busily getting moved back to boat life.
Hope the start of 2024 is off to a great beginning for you too!
