Some noise from I40, but far enough away that it didn't affect sleeping. The showers? A+++. Best on our West Coast road trip so far!

1. Kingman KOA
"The people at the Kingman Koa were very nice and accommodating. Rv spots are all dirt but surrounded by trees and bushes for some privacy. Bathrooms were older but clean."

Affordable Comfort Camping
$20/ day dry.
The good:
Flush toilets, trash, potable water, shade, improved. Altitude real estate = cooler daytime temps.
The Bad: No water access.
The Ugly: Flash floods start up here.

Kingman KOA
Clean and fun
The kids and I stayed here for mother's day weekend. We enjoyed the mini golf course and the live cover band in the evening. The pool area is padlocked by ten p m, which was really the only downside of our stay.

Well maintained KOA
I stayed 3 nights and had a good experience. It is a typical KOA. I want to react to another review that complained about the showers and the neighborhood. The showers were good. I have experienced far worse at campgrounds. The neighborhood is fine. No homeless people that I saw. All properties looked clean and taken care of. There is a large vacant lot next door but no homeless encampment or drugged out tweakers hanging around.

Blake Ranch RV Park
The Best!
This place has the most helpful and accommodating staff! Asked them if I could delay my departure 3 hours past checkout due to high winds. They had no problem with it and charged me nothing. Spotless showers, military discounts. Highly recommend.

Kingman KOA
Okay Stay
Got an electric and water only site for an overnight. There weren't many other guests, so quiet. Had the heated pool and hot tub to ourselves. Tried to have shower, but no hot water. Told the staff who didn't know what was wrong. I didn't want to walk back to the pool showers, so skulked back to my trailer, hoping a shower it wouldn't fill up the fresh tank. Pretty scungy area, lots of down and outs and homeless around, but park itself felt safe enough.

Hualapai Mountain Park
Awesome hiking location
Beautiful spot up in the mountains. Spacious sites with very clean toilets and access to awesome range of hikes that you can walk to from your site. Rangers were great - keep a look for Bigfoot!! Only drawback is we couldn’t find any drinking water.

Nice views but amenities vary
The trip is a bit challenging pulling a trailer as it is steep and winding. There are no amenities at the RV sites, which was disappointing, and they cost the most. The hosts are friendly and knowledgeable. The views are spectacular. I was just staying the night on my way through and picked this campground so I wouldn't have to hook up without realizing I wouldn't have access to the bathroom and showers.

Amazing location
We were on our roadtrip from California to New Mexico and we stopped here on our way home after finding this location on the Dyrt app. We arrived after the rangers had left for the day so we had to put cash in an envelope at the pay station. It is not $15 like the app says, it is $30 a night for tent camping and if you arrive late, have exact change because you won’t be able to get change back. We were the only ones tent camping that night and our spot was the best one in the area! We could hear the Elk mating call a few times throughout the night but it did not disturb us. We also cooked a bomb meal and slept super hard over the night, and woke up to a beautiful sunrise where we watched on top of a large rock that was in our site.

What to do
Hiking mountain trails: At Hualapai Mountain Park, trails offer views across Arizona. "Within a couple of miles, the temperature had dropped and the air was fresh. I rolled into the park about midnight, somehow found a camping spot amid the towering Ponderosas and slipped into a deep sleep in the cool air... Better yet was the short hiking trail I took the next day to a promontory on Aspen Peak with a stunning view east across Arizona," notes Charlotte W.
Night wildlife viewing: The mountains provide chances to see nocturnal creatures. "I came night hiking here and the stars will amaze you. I got to see reptiles like tarantulas and scorpions," says Kevin T. about Hualapai Mountain Park.
Water activities: Arrowhead Cove at Lake Mead offers swimming and paddling. "This Cove is sheltered from wind by trees and tall grass. A small peninsula also blocks direct site from the water so this is a very private site. The water is the clearest I've ever seen and the water fowl dive freely along the banks," reports Lyle F.
What campers like
Wildlife encounters: Katherine Landing South Campground provides access to Lake Mohave wildlife. "It was beautiful, not like it was 30 years ago lol. Looking forward to doing some dry camping and fishing for Xmas," says Aj C.
Mountain climate relief: Campers appreciate the temperature difference at higher elevations. "Just a few miles off I-40 just east of Kingman. So surprising how much the temperature dropped up the mountain looking over the Arizona desert still," Chris B. comments about Hualapai Mountain Park.
Private waterfront spots: "Total privacy at this hidden beach on Lake Mead. Listen though, its a pain, but if you get to the water and see someone else camping there... Follow the first come first serve rule," advises Charlie C. about camping at Arrowhead Cove.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Summer heat can make river camping uncomfortable. "I had been camping in August by the Colorado River in Arizona, a mistake that time of year. About midnight I was too hot to sleep, and the mosquitos were eating me alive," Charlotte W. shares about her experience before finding Hualapai Mountain Park.
Primitive facilities: Most dispersed sites lack amenities. "Not to much to say but it's a desert and free camping. No hook ups. ATV heaven. Dirt bike fun. Big area to get dirty and have fun," Brittney C. explains about Packsaddle Recreation Site.
Access challenges: Some lakeside camping requires proper vehicles. "There is a sign at the entrance of Mead-Davis Powerline Rd road that says 4x4 recommended... Take this to heart," warns Lyle F. about reaching Arrowhead Cove.
