Crossroads Campground

Dusty when it blows, burros come to water once or twice a day. They don't like dogs, but tolerate our cat. Hosts are very good, clean pit toilet, Good dump & water at Parker, "Boondockers" . Walmart is best for drinking & coffee water. Good cheap base for exploring the area. Very old history for past 100 years.

Host was great, clean well cared for inexpensive dry boondocking.

I absolutely love it here. Wish I could reserve a spot here. Definitely didn’t want to leave.

Nice stop by the river. Only $5

Pros: organized BLM campsites! Small, picnic tables, water access, upper exposed sites have better wifi, pit toilet. No road noise, and the daily visitors are cute (but watch your dogs, these burros are friendly with humans, not with dogs)

I showed up alone and met 7 other solo women vanlifing as well as a few other super friendly couples.

Cons: pit toilet could use a scrubbing, and ran out of TP, jet boats are obnoxiously loud, poor wifi

This is a great small BLM CG along the river. Used to be mostly reserve only but as of Nov 11 2031 there was no host and the site seems to have reverted to a first come arrangement. There are 26 sites with 1-20 on the lowered level by the river and many sites have shade. Sites 21-26 are on the upper level and there is no shade there but are away from the water where day use happens on weekends. Vault toilet, trash dumpster, tables and fire rings. Cell signal is very good. Sites are still only $5/$2.50 senior and that is incredible!! Usually has a host onsite but none present Nov 2021.

We've been to this campground twice, tent camping, and love the river access. Both times it got very windy, which made certain activities like cooking difficult. Went in summer to try and avoid people - 2 years ago before the Coronapocalypse, we had the place to ourselves, but in 2021 there were a couple more campers and also a few driving in and out, using as a day use area since most of the actual day use areas were full. There were also burros who came down to the river. They didn't mess with us, though one pregnant looking one stared at us a long time. I don't know if she was expecting to be fed maybe? The toilet is fine though we brought TP to be sure we'd have some. Pay attention to the reservations on the posts. Bring sunscreen and shade with stuff to windproof it. Stay up late and turn off your lights to enjoy the stargazing.

Very nice spot on the California side of the Colorado river. No hookups, but nice tables & gravel lots. If you have your lifetime passport for American parks it’s only 2.50 a night! Can’t beat that! I loved the river and watching the duck, roadrunners, and quail. I didn’t however see any donkeys which was disappointing.

25 sites (many bordering the River), many with Salt Cedar trees for shade, available for reservations online (recreation.gov). A few sites available on a first come, first served basis. 2 week limit. A small beach for swimming or kayaking. Peaceful, with desert trails across the road for ATVs.
