Casitas of SKP Saguaro Co-Op RV Park – Benson, AZ

One of the things that drew us to getting a lot at SKP Saguaro Co-Op RV Park was that many of the lots have casitas on them.

Now, just what is a casita?

Our ‘Catsita’ – as seen from the clubhouse porch.

It’s small building, no more than 288 sq ft, that sits next to the RV pad.

As the park is designated an RV park, the casita can not be your primary residence – your RV is.

But the casita can have plumbing for a bathroom, a small kitchenette and even space to sleep a short term guest.

There’s a wide variety of casitas in the park, of various sizes and amenities. And just before we left this past season, there was an afternoon of ‘Casita Tours’ – where a handful of members opened their casitas up to the community.

We decided to include ours in the tour. Since we had it show-ready anyway, we filmed a little video about casitas and a tour of ours to share with you (and some video of other casitas in the park that our neighbors gave us permission to include):

Our casita, called the Cat-sita, is right at the max size of 288 square feet, and is 12′ x 24′ (including our porch). One thing we discovered after touring so many is that ours is a bit unique in how open ours is including our high vaulted ceilings.

We have ours setup to be an extended living room of our bus – we use it for watching TV, extra desk space for work days, a fitness room for yoga & weights, and hosting game nights with friends.

Ours is pre-plumbed for water and sewer, and one day we’ll get around to finishing out a bathroom and small bar area.
