The transition into retirement brings different challenges for everyone. Many seniors miss their work community and struggle to find activities to fill the days. But having too much free time is one of the best challenges you can have in life. Active seniors have years to explore new hobbies, make friends, and travel. Whether or not you own an RV, you can spend the winter as a snowbird in the Southwest. Discover the amenities, community, and games for seniors in 55+ Phoenix RV communities.

What are 55+ RV communities?

Many people purchase RVs in retirement because it’s an affordable, comfortable way to travel across the country without the stress or hassle of air travel or road trips. You can stay long-term in senior RV communities during the cold, wet winter months in the northern states.

Unlike public RV resorts, 55+ communities are for like-minded seniors without the noise and chaos of families with children. There’s a more subdued pace to senior RV communities and amenities directed at the interests of older residents.

When you stay at an RV resort in Apache Junction as a snowbird, you’ll find amenities, scheduled trips, and games for seniors. Spend retirement enjoying your favorite activities or discover new hobbies to explore.

What are the most popular games for seniors?

A great RV community not only has a monthly schedule jam-packed with events and activities, but they also have recreational space for the most popular games for seniors. Here are a few of the games residents are always playing at Lost Dutchman.

Pickleball courts

Pickleball

More than just a funny name, pickleball is a fun and challenging sport that combines the best elements of tennis and badminton. It’s easy to learn and fun for casual players, but as you become more experienced, it can be challenging and competitive. You can play with up to four people, so it’s ideal for retired couples looking to stay active.

Golf

Golf is a favorite for players of all ages because it gets you out in the fresh air, is low impact, and provides lifelong challenges. There are many golf courses surrounding Apache Junction, and seniors can practice their short game in-between tee times at the putting greens inside RV parks.

Shuffleboard

A game for seniors that requires precision and strategy, shuffleboard is fun for people of all ability levels. Even without experience, you can spend a few hours playing while getting to know neighbors. Those with skills can join tournaments to test their skills against friends.

Billiards

If you’re looking for a new retirement hobby, billiards are a fun way to spend a few hours as well as a rewarding community of competitive players. A great way to make friends is shooting pool in the community center at the Lost Dutchman. New residents can improve their skills while getting to know other residents.
