Best Campgrounds near Lake Havasu City, AZ

This is BLM land, there are many places to pull off the dirt road and camp. It is in the mountains above the Colorado River. The further you go into the area, the quieter it becomes. The road is good, no problem with bigger rigs. Most sites can be pull through.

This park is located adjacent to a KOA on a road that used to be a section of the old Route 66.  Our GPS vectored us in circles until it got it right.  So be warned.  We like this park better than the KOA because for many reasons including more privacy between your neighbor, better aesthetic's in plantings and arrangements, and just a smaller park.  We found all of the spaces extremely clean.  They have very nice oleander shrubs planted between the spaces, and they make it known that they are poisonous to your pets.

We used the laundry room.  They had 4 washers and 4 dryers.  The washers were $2.50 a load, and the dryers were $2.00 a load.

We also used a dog washing station that was very handy.  Most of the guests are not full time residents, but there appeared to be some.

The couple that helps manage the park were very welcoming, and thanked us for staying there.  However, she did charge me an extra $15 for arriving at 1130 in the morning.  The check-in time is 1400.

I couldn't get their internet to work, but I had enough bars with Verizon to use my cell phone for a hotspot.

There will be highway noise throughout the park as I-40 is around .5 miles away.  

You can buy propane at the Nextdoor KOA, and there is a Walmart just up the road in Mojave Valley, AZ.  Fuel prices are about $1.50  to $2 a gallon less in AZ, about 2 miles away on the road.  

We dined one evening at the Wagon Wheel, about a mile from the park and it was quite good, with excellent service.  I recommend the chicken fried steak.

I would certainly stay here again!

Straight shot access gravel-sand road to the concrete pad. In good shape enough to feel my AWD cargo van could do it. Beware Giant Osprey's flying over at night and landing in the daytime. I was paid a visit and told to use the corners of the concrete pad only as they might land on me! Beautiful location for sky viewing and photography.

Only minutes from Lake Havasu City. Lots of room to find a semi level spot. You can park far enough off the highway no highway noise. Lots of big rigs. No issue for 40’ pusher and 24’ car hauler

Nice spot to come after boondocking to fill water, laundry and shower. Sites are close with little privacy. Staff is helpful. Laundry $2.50 per wash and dry.

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.

I stayed here for a week and loved it. Gorgeous views of the lake and lots of camping spots with fire rings. The ATVs aren't ideal, but the birds and wild burros make up for it IMO. I'd definitely stay here again. Had cell reception on T mobile and Verizon.

Very clean, well maintained RV park.  Spaces are large and separated by bushes.  Club house and pool.  Bathrooms/showers are clean.  If you check in before 2pm, they will charge you extra.

Stopped here for an overnight. Mostly snowbirds who looked settled in for the winter. A few sites along the river with cabanas. Sites have water and electric, but no sewer. A little cramped and not private at all, but are pretty long for pull throughs. There are private RV parks on both sides of it that have restaurant/bars on the water that you can walk to which is a great feature. Great location.

Only gave it 4 stars not 5 because it has "government park" qualities, but is a great place for the price.

Stayed here 1 night in our 30ft tow behind. Didn't go too far down the road but it looks like a lot of nice camping back here and beautiful mountain views. Fairly smooth, hard packed road from what we saw.

Only 1.1 miles from Hwy 93, gravel road has been upgraded to a wide smooth surface. WARNING, past this flat area Signal road gets very steep and with wash dips and there is no easy turnaround for large RVs or TT for at least 3 miles. No tables, no trash, no water, just pure free dispersed. Cell signal is 5 bars on T-Mobile. Only 11 miles north of Burro Creek BLM CG.

This is an open BLM camping area. The access is between Mike 134 and 133 on AZ hwy 95. It is about 11 miles south of Parker, AZ. You cross a cattle guard to access, then head down a dirt road. You can camp anywhere, but the better spots are after the second cattle guard. Cell service for Verizon is 3 to 4 bars. It is quiet from campers, but you can hear traffic on hwy 95. Services are close by in Parker, AZ, including dumping stations and water filling stations. There are several dumpsters around town, and a transfer station. This area is about 25 miles north of Quartzsite, AZ.

This is a cool spot and it’s much quieter than plasmas road or spots closer to quartzite. There’s only about 20 spots and they are all pretty decent. We have come several weekends and on holidays and still got great spots. Views are excellent . Here’s the only issue. There are full timers not moving after 14 days as is required by law. Some have really set up shop and this visit we are near someone who is running their generator all day and into the night. They have dogs off leash that they are leaving outdoors to roam and poop wherever. Now most everyone who is here is cool and nice but there are some really cool spots that I would like to camp at that someone has basically claimed. I do t want to be the “ Karen”, sorry all of you named Karen, but is there anyone we can call that might be able to enforce some rules. I would prefer these area be in supervised and there not ever need TK be rangers patrols g etc but that requires everyone to follow the rules. I will say it’s o my one area that of this site that this seems to be an issue and it certainly my didn’t ruin our time there. We still had a great time and DJ really live this area

Looks like this is a rv park with a healthy social club and lota if activities. RVs park a bit too close for us and it is a dusty place. No cell service at all at our site.
