Encore Mesa Spirit RV Resort has been awarded the 2025 “Mega Park of the Year” by the Arizona Outdoor Hospitality Association (AZOHA), marking its second time receiving the honor.
According to a press release, the recognition follows last year’s win by Encore Paradise RV Resort, making it a back-to-back achievement for Encore RV Resorts and Thousand Trails campgrounds. It also represents the 10th time a resort from the network has received the award.
The award was presented to Mary McVeigh, manager of Encore Mesa Spirit, by AZOHA President Wendy Bykofsky.
Nestled in Mesa, Arizona, just west of the Superstition Mountains, Mesa Spirit RV Resort offers more than 1,650 sites and a full list of resort-style amenities.
These include multiple pools, miniature golf, a social hall with a library, pickleball courts, and a vibrant calendar of activities like happy hours, dances, bingo, food trucks, and themed events.
“Mesa Spirit offers something unique for all guests who stay with us, but mostly it’s the friendly culture, convenient location, and all of our fabulous amenities that bring guests back every year,” said McVeigh.
“To be recognized by the AZOHA with the Mega Park of the Year award makes our whole Encore team feel very proud. This award acknowledges the tremendous effort that our Mesa Spirit staff puts into ensuring our guests have a wonderfully relaxing and positive experience when visiting our resort,” McVeigh added.
The AZOHA’s Park of the Year Awards celebrate outstanding RV resorts based on operations, professionalism, marketing, customer service, and industry involvement. The Mega Park category is reserved for resorts with 501 or more sites.
Encore RV Resorts and Thousand Trails operate a network of over 220 RV resorts and campgrounds across North America, offering more than 90,000 sites.
Their properties are located in top vacation destinations and feature resort-style amenities designed to serve both full-time RVers and casual outdoor travelers.
The AZOHA award highlights Encore Mesa Spirit’s role as a benchmark in campground management.
Its consistent recognition reflects the evolving expectations of RV travelers and the importance of combining operational excellence with guest-focused amenities to remain competitive in a booming outdoor hospitality sector.
