Best Equestrian Camping near Lake Havasu City, AZ

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. I decided to move, and an hour later I rolled into Kingman, Ariz. to get gas. I saw a sign for Hualapai Mountain Park, and, knowing nothing about it, I took a chance. 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. In the morning a friendly ranger reminded me to pay, nodding in understanding at the story of my escape from the desert. The campground itself was beautiful. The big Ponderosas kept the site cool well into the day--it is almost at 8,000 feet! 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. A memorable stay.

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. The rangers at the campground was very informational and helpful on finding the perfect place for either tent camping or bringing your RV with hook-ups. The grounds have plenty of trails to hike and the scenery is wonderful and the freshness of the air words can't describe. Definitely coming back in the future.

It was really cool to come here and see a part of WWII. There’s not much to see, it is all completely flat dessert. It’s more of an emotional experience than anything. Highly recommend.

The cement pad is about 150 yards wide and about 350 yards long. We got here as the sun was coming down. It was windy and warm but not too bad considering that this is the desert. There is absolutely nothing out here. You’ll have to bring your own shade. Nearest fuel station is 19 miles away.

I enjoyed it because it was just clean and the night sky was clear. Great for stargazing.

There is the historical side of it. It’s amazing that Patton trained out here. Over a million troops trained in the area.

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.

Good flat spot to spend the night on the way to another destination. There’s some light noise from the highway but otherwise a decent spot.

After seeing the last review I was a little nervous, but we loved this place. We woke up to deer in our campsite and sat and watched them for a while and saw lots of woodpeckers, really lovely wildlife! There were lots of cute Christmas lights and decorations around which we loved. There were a couple cans around but definitely did not see the trash as described previously, or experience the crowdedness or noise at all. I think we may have been the only campers there. Will definitely return next time we’re passing through!

I have been there many times over the years and have never been disappointed. I have been there in the snow and rain ,and it is still a good time.I have never been so close to wild life before the elk and deer roam the area ,especially in the morning hours. A great commune with nature.

I enjoyed my stay here. The terrain is steep, with mountain pines and boulders. This was a welcome change from the surrounding country, as was the lower temperature that comes with higher elevation. It was about 10 °F cooler here than in Kingman when I visited in June. Tent camping is first come first served. I had no problem finding a good spot on a Friday night.

There are two areas to the campground. The front section has paved roads and is mostly cabins with some tent sites mixed in. There are real bathrooms here, though they were in need of a cleaning when I visited. The back section has dirt roads and all tent sites, with a few porta potties. The roads are steep in places, but nicely graded. My front wheel drive passenger car traversed them without difficulty.

It is very quiet and dark here at night. Flashlights are a must, as are water vessels: there are no water spigots in the back section. I also saw what I am 80% sure was a mountain lion crossing the road at night when I was walking to one of the porta potties.

The only real downside I noticed here was the flies. They don't bite, but they buzz around you constantly and can get pretty annoying.

Just a quick overnight stay. The site is easy to get to and set up, mostly level and plenty of space. Very quiet and clean.

Wooded campground with some full hook up sites. Large playground for kids. Lots of wildlife and rzr trails.

$20 a night, dry camp will get you out of the blast furnace of the Kingman summer. 10 gorgeous miles of hiking trails. Rent a 1930’s stone cabin for $90. RV spots available also.

Stopped here on a drive through I-40 and was pleasantly surprised. It definitely seems like a family zone, but I like how the sites are a little more spread out than a KOA.

The little road through the camp winds along the side of the mountain with lots of unique-looking spots. I honestly probably nabbed the best spot in the house up on a hill overlooking the valley. My site had a good amount of privacy and 4 bars with Verizon, but that may be different at some of the lower sites.

Only 10ish miles up the mountain from the highway and perfect for a night’s stop, I just wish it wasn’t $20! Would stay here again!

Great spot right out side of town

Going 3-star only because it's pretty crowded. Tent platform sites, picnic table sites, various sized cabins. Not many tent sites, although it appears they are adding more. Ranger was very friendly and accommodating to let tent campers use picnic table sites without platforms. Sites are very close to each other. Good water spouts. Lots of hiking trails right out od camp.

Went up for a few days to disconnect from the reality of home and to spend some time together as a family. Tent camping - took us a minute to find a spot but we found an amazing space just a short walk to the bathrooms. There’s porta potty’s closer but my little girls wanted to use the nicer bathrooms. There’s tons of hiking, beautiful scenery, VERY friendly wildlife. Elk and deer are everywhere and aren’t afraid of people. The weather was wonderful.

Nice area with good views lots to hike. Can get loud near the rec sites and on weekends it can be hard to find a spot. Overall pretty good for a one night stay

This place is a must come. Trust me. I've been outdoors for years and this place is the place to come. I came night hiking here and the star will amaze you. I got to see reptiles like tarantulas and scorpions.

This is a great place to get away from the heat in Bullhead City. There are lots of dry tent camping sites scattered throughout the park, or you could rent a cabin or even a teepee. There are rv sites with full hook ups if that's your preference. We went tent camping in the pine basin section there's no water so we brought enough for the trip. In our area I only saw port a potties scattered throughout the area. There are a lot of deer wandering around and they're not shy, a doe walked right up to me the first morning while I was making coffee. I have been told there are Elk wandering around too but I didn't see any. We enjoyed it there and will be going back. The fees are reasonable $17.00 a night for camping, you can buy firewood and ice at the check in station.
