Best Campgrounds near Bullhead City, AZ

The campground is amazing Nice large sites. Clean and well.maintained The only real draw back is the number of loud power boats on the lake We tried to get a site here about 2 weeks ago we were really fortunate to find a site open for 2 nights mid week 50 amp with wate. Dog friendly.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds.  It's easy to get to and is in the middle of the beautiful Mojave Preserve.  All camp sites now must be reserved on Recreation.Gov.  Luckily, we had enough bars on Verizon to do it on the spot when we arrived.  We found plenty of sites available that were large enough for our 30 foot travel trailer.  The campground was only about a quarter full.

Although the campground is dry camping, there is a dump site and water is available to top off your tank.  They also provide trash receptacles.  

The nearby visitor center closes at 1500, and there is no store or fuel in Mojave.  Most people drive to Baker, CA for fuel, or over to AZ, about an hour away.  I would come next time with a fuller tank of fuel.

I ended up staying 3 nights here. The first in the regular paid campground--$50 a night--yikes for water/electric. 

Then I discovered the overflow parking lot. $25 for dry camping. Much better views and you still have access to the park's amenities--showers, potable water, hiking trails, etc. Plus the vibe is more communal. 

For the overflow sites you need to check in at the gate and you're assigned a site. Some of them are flatter than others. Mine was pretty level. 

A big storm rolled in while I was here and it was fun to watch the lighting across the lake. Lots of bunnies and birds. But you are super close to town. Can hear the road noise and sirens at night. Biking distance from the London Bridge and other Havasu attractions.

Long bumpy road to get to (20 min of driving ruts).

No ATT service (with booster) otherwise would have stayed.

I love this campground. The scenery is gorgeous and there are several interesting hiking trails. The campsites are spread out. A great place to enjoy the desert, especially in the winter.

This is a perfect dispersed camping spot! Dirt road in was about 4 miles long from the highway but pretty well graded and easy to drive, big rig friendly. 

Plenty of camping spots along the water with some shade trees. Dumpster onsite and a few vault toilets for the tent campers. Very safe crowd.

Pulled in here to see an old burnt out RV being towed away with the assistance of BLM officers. Did a lap around the camping area and it did not feel safe at all. Lots of homeless camping since this is really close to part of Lake Havasu City. Couple of campers looked broke down and stuck there long term. Lots of tent camping with vehicles (homeless). 

Talked to one of the BLM officers on the way out and he recommended that I don't camp there. They have lots of issues with this place. He said the places South of town and further North were much safer.

We are new to RVing and recently purchased a 2018 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV and wanted to take it some where close, so Davis Camp it was! Staff was great, neighbors were great, and the trip was very enjoyable! RV had no issues!

Ended up staying in the overflow dry camping area for 2 nights. Was nice area. Little noisy but was ok. Worked out for me.

I just followed the GPS / Google Maps coordinates to go to the Craggy Wash dispersed camping area south of Lake Havasu City (was actually in Lake Havasu City when I searched for nearby dispersed camping sites via The Dyrt ...).  Copied the coordinates provided on The Dyrt webpage, turned left off US 95 South where directed (& it was the correct road on the live map), but there is a locked gate there with big sign: "Private Property Keep Out.". So.....since it was only 4:10 pm PST (Dec. 28, 2024), I travelled on to Hi Jolly just above Quartzsite.  I did leave the Google Maps app active as I turned back south on 95 just to see if the voice directions might provide an alternate entrance to Craggy Wash, but ....no.

Some of the best campground restrooms. Full hookups & affordable long term rates.

My first time camping in a BLM area. Came at the right time before Sunset. Tip: some camp areas have a stone fire pit. I didn’t use it because I wasn’t sure if it was legal.

This spot is best for a quick layover and then move on. Just an old gravel pit,th no water, no toilets, no trash. Only a few miles north of the town and Walmart. There were a couple of broke down burned out vehicles that added to the ambiance. No cell in the lower pit but ok cell on upper level.

We stayed Oct 28-31. We stayed in a back-in dispersed camping spot ...exit 66 from I-40, and a couple miles on S Blake Ranch Road. Our rig is 43', towing a pickup with UTV loaded in the back. After unhooking (wide road) by the old Hwy 93 turnoff, we drove 93 a ways in the truck and determined it was too rough and washed out in places for our RV.

We explored down S Blake Ranch road and found our spot --several spots are available down that road, and easy access to trails if you go out trail-riding.

Blake Ranch road is wide, and pretty wash boarded in places, but easily doable, taking it slow. We backed into our chosen site, with room for the truck and UTV. A bonus = it's a level site!!

Beautiful scenery, extremely peaceful, wooded site with plenty of scrap wood around for a careful campfire.

Also making it a mission in retirement travel to practice Leave No Trace, so also cleaned up some prior trash left behind as well as our own.

A little traffic does go down the road, but not often.

Had 2 bars of Verizon cell service; husband had about the same on US Cellular.

We spent 4 days here and it was very nice! People seem respectful on the UTVs. Local amenities are super super convenient!
