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.
$30 / night

Seems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.
Full hookups but did not get cold water this time of year. Close to action. Casinos, food and shopping.
We love it when parks have a plan for traveling campers like us who hate making reservations, and Lake Havasu came through in spades. They have a whole section of their campground dedicated to folks like us. We pulled up, grabbed a space, and spent the night right by the lakeshore.
I’m afraid we didn’t take pictures of the parking area as we were so taken with the view! It’s a huge parking lot with dedicated camping spaces, with picnic tables, trash cans and plenty of space between your neighbors. The bathrooms offer flush toilets, sinks and warm showers.
The RV dump tanks were close by, as is the vast boat launch area. While the overnight area might be a little more spartan, the rest of the park is gorgeous with looping campsite areas, rentable cabins, and winding paths.
Yet, it’s still within the town limits, so everything you might need, or want, is a short walk, bike ride, or drive away. You can even catch the ferry to the casinos across the lake if you want to lose your spending money.
Hiking, biking and paddling opportunities could all be reached from the campsite. Each site along the beach had some trees for shade, but all the sunshine you could want for solar power as well. We’ll keep this place in mind when we want a quick overnight with some shower access close to town.
Sams Beachcomber RV Resort is nice. Clean property. Common areas are clean and nice and cool! Utility box blew and it was fixed 2.5 hours after call. Sites are minium and close together but it's ok.
Great little spot to stop on the way. Far enought from main road. Fantastic sky at night.
You have shared some good information so far. I would like to get more information about this place. Thank you so much for sharing.
The two spots are about 1.5 miles off the highway on a dirt road, you'll see a spot off the right on a narrow trail. BLM property. Free-roaming cows, didn't bother us at all. Beautiful sunset on our nights stay. The second spot is just around the first corner after the first one, less used, but probably flatter. Could hear the highway, but wasn't bothersome.

Last minute reservation traveling from Yosemite-Tule Lake. Easy access off 40. Carla was very accommodating offering one of the 2 shaded lots available for our dogs sake as it was 92. Very Clean & quiet.
Great campground for either tents, trailers, class A or C motorhomes. Quiet and close to Colorado River
Great little pull off camp spot. I wouldn’t spend more than one night here. The cows are super cute to wake up to. I didn’t smell them at all. The road is a little washboard and there aren’t a lot of good turn around spots. Overall very happy with the spot. It was quiet and perfect for a road trip camp spot.
Gave only 3 stars due to sketchy cell (AT&T) and no internet. Only 2 spots, but there was a fire ring and free roaming cows. Great for an overnight stay.
I ended up staying here a couple of nights and it's beautiful! Stay was in September and the weather was beautiful. Trees cover almost everything, there is a little creek, and plenty of opportunities to go exploring on hikes. Loved it!
Great spot just before Hole in the Wal About 1/4 mile down a road marked “4x4 high clearance only.” But if you’re just hitting the campsite you can make It in a lot less. There’s a turn around there for people towing trailers. No facilities, just a fire ring, red rock peaks and quiet. Absolutely stunning.
I was given the boot at a 14 day spot and i wasnt ready i had to choose between craggy crowded or lone tree loud . I chose H.Heights. internet walks through small neighborhood store at the rv park xrss street. Bullhead oneway lake havasu the other .
I stayed here 2 winters, and I love this park. It's in the middle of the desert, between two great towns. It's really quiet, no light pollution at night so you can see the Milky Way, the mountain views are spectacular everywhere you look, and if you're a rockhound like myself, this area is a little piece of heaven. This park is managed by some of the nicest, most accommodating people I've met in my almost 6 years full time running around the country. The bathrooms and laundry rooms are always sparking clean, the clubhouse has a homey community feel, this place is just awesome. I couldn't say enough good things about it. I'll be going back for a month next week, in fact. Two winters so I now have friends I wanna visit🥰
Nice for an overnight stop but we stayed about a week. Narrow sites for big rig parking but they were long enough. Our site sloped forward but we managed. No gravel, dirt; it is the desert. Pleasant staff. A whole lot of birds in the bushes and trees chirping as the sun came up.
NPS turned this dry CG over to the marina as of Jan 1 2024. The marina charges $20 and no senior discount...guess the Lake Mead NPS wants out of the CG MGMT hassles.
We stayed for two nights, arrived late and left early. Great for an overnight hookup. Spacious parking and environment. Had a nice walk to Walmart (1.2 miles each way) but they do have a shop on sight. Your standard KOA experience would stay again. Clean showers and toilets.
We stopped here and ended up staying for a week. Jennifer and Jaimi are winderful ladies. They went above and beyond to help us with the area. The maintenance man had to change water spicket and had us going in 15 minutes.
This campground has extremely strict breed restrictions for dogs. The receptionist was quite rude about it as well when we called. Also, the link to their website takes you to an anabolic steroid website. Weird. Will not be staying here.
This Place is awesome after 7 years still love it #66
Just this evening I pulled into the Circle-S Campground driveway in Kingman AZ at around 6:40pm Sunday evening, and there were no forms or envelopes to fill out where the sign on the door said to fill it out and put the money into the slot in the wall. A man and a woman pulled up in a car along the side of my motorhome and told me the cost was $20 for boondocking and $45 or so for full hookups, and I can hand him the $20 and he will give me the receipt in the morning.
I told him in a jovial way, trying to be as nice as possible, that he could be anyone, and I would like him to write me up a receipt, and he told me in a hostile tone of voice "if you don't like it, then go somewhere else" to which I replied that I would go elsewhere, which severely triggered him. He and his moll suddenly went ballistic and told me to "get the hell out of here or we are calling the cops" 0-to-100 instantaniously.
I cannot imagine what they would have told the police, since all I did up to then was to make the first half of a u-turn at their entrance. It looks like this will be the impetus for me to finally get some dash-cameras, or even a body-camera, with people like that roaming the streets. I might still file a police report to give the police in Kingman a heads-up that there might be a couple of "karens" with a propensity of conjuring up false accusations (if those two even really work for Circle-S).
I don't think that asking for a receipt nicely just once is cause for flipping out.
I am also thinking of reporting to their front office on Monday morning that there are meth-heads off the street trying to scam money off of their paying customers, but then I researched on the internet other reviews of this sketchy place, and from what people are saying, these cringy people might really be associated with the owners, in which case a complaint would be futile.
Nice location to be near town. Lots of gravel but good size spots. Boat launch, garden, cabins and beaches.
Park Management is no longer allowing anyone without a self contained vehicle to use the dump station.
When we first got here there was no available water ( main water line break) and the bathrooms were closed and they had set up several portable bathrooms. They quickly fixed the water line on day two and bathrooms were re-opened and water was available at the sites. No hook ups, but worth the $20 a night ( must be done online), quiet, peaceful and only a couple other campers here. Walking distance to Lake Mojave ( Sandy beach looks beautiful when you walk up to it, but then you see all the rusty battle caps, bottles, some broken glass, fishing line and trash about) where there is a marina with a store ( pricey as you’d expect). Camp sites aren’t very big, but I had no problem with my 19ft trailer. They have 45 sites ( loops around for easy turn around at top of campground) and ours was level. No camp host here, but service truck drives through at about noon everyday. Trash bins available. Regular flush bathrooms were pretty clean ( no showers).The nights ( sun down here at 4:30pm) are awesome and star gazing is amazing and you can hear coyote’s in the distance. A few palm trees and some sites have nice shade. We had such a nice experience here, we decided to stay an extra night!
lived here 2 years and it is the best park in az, staff go out of there way to make me welcome here. wifi with t-mobile is excellent, 300 dn and 100 up. low park monthly rates.
