ABOUT TUCSON
Tucson, known as the “Old Pueblo,” offers visitors a
striking blend of contrasts shaped by a distinctive
heritage and accessible natural wonders. Regional
architecture, cuisine, music and art reflect the
colorful and varied past of our Native American,
Spanish, Mexican and Western pioneer ancestors.
The area surrounding Sentinel Peak just west of
downtown has been inhabited for an estimated 3,000
years and is considered the city’s birthplace.
Irishman Hugh O’Connor, who served in the Spanish army, founded present-day Tucson August 20,
1775. He established the legendary walled Presidio
de San Agustin which is commemorated in the
historic downtown El Presidio neighborhood.
Residents actively support local arts – the city’s
own fine symphony, ballet, opera, theater and avantgarde art scene have made Tucson a thriving
cultural center.
Come visit Far Horizons 49er Village RV
Resort, our active family resort, in the historic
Sierra Foothills of California. It is a fullservice, destination RV Resort conveniently
located in the heart of the historic California
Gold Country — where, it all began 150 years
ago with the discovery of gold in 1848.
Money magazine recently named
California’s Amador County as “One of the Best
Places to Visit in North America”, citing area
wineries, history and recreation. Today, the
Sierra Foothills still offer ample discoveries for
visitors. Experience the underground world of a
hardrock miner in an actual mine setting or
taste the new California Gold: wines from the
19 award-winning wineries of the Shenandoah
Valley. Four USGA golf courses are within 30
minutes of our facility. Or, for those who want
to stop and smell the flowers, visit the 14 acres
of floral wonder at the Amador Flower Farm in
the Shenandoah Valley.

national directories places Far Horizons 49er
Village RV Resort in the top percentile of
privately-owned parks and campgrounds. We
offer 329 full hook-up sites plus Vacation
Cottages which provide an opportunity to

RV STAGING REQUIREMENTS
BOCCE BALL
Stage your RV to the right of the patio pad. All
RV units must be backed onto the site. When
parked, the unit must be situated on the lot so
that no part of the slide-out sections hangs out
over the lot lines. If a car dolly is used, it must
be stored under the RV at the rear on the lot.
Once the RV unit is properly staged there will
be space to the left of the unit to contain the
tow vehicle so that it does not protrude into the
street when parked. A maximum of one habitable vehicle is allowed on a site.
