      Situated on the shores of the Colorado River at Nevada’s southern tip, Big Bend of the Colorado River includes about two miles of sandy shoreline. Because the park is downstream from Davis Dam, the river is clear and cool year round. Popular activities are camping, picnicking, boating, fishing, swimming, hiking and bird watching. The variety of waterfowl and shore birds that make this park home include mallards, coots, herons and geese. Hawks, roadrunners, quail, hummingbirds, doves and owls are also abundant in the park. The nearby town of Laughlin offers the amenities of a Nevada gaming town.

      Big Bend boasts a 24-unit campground that is accesible year-round. All sites are on a first come, first served basis, reservations are not available. All sites are designed to accommodate RVs with hook-ups for water, electric and sewer. In addition, most of the sites have pull-through parking pads that can accommodate any size RV.

      The campground features spacious pull-through sites, each with a concrete patio, making it easy to set up and relax. Visitors have praised the cleanliness and friendliness of the park, noting the well-maintained amenities like the swimming pool, which is a godsend on those scorching desert days. The park also offers full hook-ups, including water, sewer, and electric, which is essential when the temperatures soar above 100 degrees.

If you're looking for a bite to eat, there's a great restaurant nearby called the Wagon Wheel.
