Dispersed camping along the Colorado River corridor provides a different experience from developed campgrounds, with campers selecting their own spots on Bureau of Land Management property. Colorado Riverside Camp sits on BLM land managed by the Yuma Field Office, accessible by vehicle for those comfortable with less structured camping arrangements.
The dispersed format means no designated sites, restrooms, or hookups, requiring campers to bring water and plan for waste disposal. Pete's Wash offers another dispersed option about three miles northeast for those wanting to compare locations before settling in.
