Attention Snowbirds: Warm up at an Encore RV Resort during Arizona's Cactus League Spring Training Season

Author's note: Most RVing Snowbirds I know from the Great Lakes usually head to Florida to escape the winter back home. Florida is home to 15 major League Baseball teams who play in the Grapefruit League during Spring Training, including my favorite team, the Detroit Tigers. But for those who go to Arizona, here's some great info on some RV parks there.

Each spring, 15 professional baseball teams arrive in Arizona for the Cactus League spring training season to prep for the upcoming MLB season. Beginning March 2, 2012, baseball fans visiting spring training from around the U.S. can benefit from nearby Encore RV Resorts for accommodations.

While the area offers an assortment of activities, spring training is atop Arizona visitor’s must-see lists this time of year. Whether attending games or team practices, fans experience an atmosphere with fewer barriers between spectators and players with daily games scheduled at centrally located stadiums. For more information on the Cactus League and the spring training schedule visit www.CactusLeague.com.
