I wanted to find a place that was close to Oatman so I could make a daycation away from the house in Vegas. Everything I saw implied this one was the most reliable and closest to the site. I did see along the path however a few others, but my reservation had already been made and for $30 nonrefundable that meant I was keeping my claim on my site.
The site was not a deluxe site like some KOA's have but it was a non-primitive site and I had hook ups so I was excited to see what it was this campground had to offer.
I was staying during offseason so I knew I wouldn't have access to the pool or hot tub, the hot tub would have been nice however. I was expecting to maybe play some mini golf but the course looked unmaintainted like it too was in the off season, a little disappointing.
Since there wasn't anything to do really at camp I went and explore the Historic Route 66 in Kingman to follow up my fun in Oatman on the same journey. it was quirky and bold and had some really nice stops. I was very happy with having proximity to the options I got to see so it made the campground worth it. I was given a few tips from the office as to the must see locations and I managed to check them out before it got dark. (pictured)
All in all, I wouldn't say I wouldn't give this place a shot again during a different time of year, but during the early months of the year it wasn't all I was wanting it to be and more.

Great way to afford enjoying Lake Havasu. Note this is an Arizona State Park so daily vehicle rates do apply if just visiting and/or camping. Located on the east side of Lake Havasu side in Arizona state border. California to the west separated by the Colorado River/Lake Havasu. Lake Havasu City is 19 miles away and the Parker strip is 8 miles away (Lake Havasu separated by the Parker Dam). Remember you're camping in a hot, dry desert climate and limited shade as only palm trees and small shrubs. Campground has showers and restrooms as well as RV dump station. If you're looking for a place to enjoy Lake Havasu, lounging in the water or boating, highly recommend Cattail Cove State Park. A little more remote than right in the city.

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.

Enjoy Lake Havasu by being right on the lakeside. What better way to beat the dry, Arizona desert heat. We tented the weekend we camped. We also had hammocks to lounge in during the day when not in/on the water. Nice facilities and an easy way to enjoy Lake Havasu affordably.
ScoutWe have camped at Cattail Cove just South of Havasu City in Arizona a couple of times. We love the white sandy beach and clear water. Campsites and bathrooms are clean. We rented the sites near the beach and enjoyed walking the beach under the stars and going kayaking during the day.
GuideJust 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.
ScoutThe staff were amazing! Incredibly friendly & filled with information. Although there are few trees around they were hammock friendly for those of us that prefer hammocks over tents. It was extremely hot but that is Arizona in summer so it's a huge beni that the campsites are right on the lake yet still close enough to go get food or coffee or anything else we may have wanted from town. Would definitely recommend Lake Havasu State Park for camping!
RangerThis is another Arizona state park on Lake Havasu. About 20 miles south of Havasu City. Electric & water, dump site. Cellular is not as good here as Lake Havasu State Park, and I am an AT&T user, 2 bars.... The trees in this park are specimens, and are labeled on a ground stake. They were interesting. The beach area is sand & there are water devices to rent if your into that. I found this park more noisy than some other parks in the area. There is a boat ramp, so there are people launching boats all day.
GuideArrived at Lake Havasu State Park on the evening of 1-6-23 to stay one night. The campground was full but they offered me overflow camping (no hookups) for $25 a night. My site ended up being right on the lake/beach and so beautiful. They have clean restrooms (flush) with showers, potable water and dump stations free for guests and close to parks and many amenities. The Park Staff and volunteers were super friendly and we're genuinely happy to help out or answer questions. Needless to say, I booked 6 more days after my one night was finished (7 day limit). I highly recommend Lake Havasu State Park in Arizona!!

Beautiful campground resort right on the Colorado River! FHU's, wifi, cable TV. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Excellent customer service. Sabrina and Wayne both helped us get hooked up, and helped with our cable TV issues. Close to Laughlin casinos and river activities. We will definitely visit this campground again!
LegendThey have their own entrance to the river which is super neat because if you rent jet skis you can get back to your lodging any time of the day. Also if you have a boat you can load and unload it with the private ramp which is a bonus.
They have full hookups, tables, laundry, a pool, and the river. very nice place and well kept.
also on-site, they have vacation rentals right on the river!! so check them out!! super clean and a neat place they have here and I will be back.
It's neat if you take the water taxis across to the casinos and walk the boardwalk, there are so many bugs so be prepared. o posted pictures of us on the boardwalk and the jet ski we rented which is a great spot just down the street from the rv park
Ranger
Well kept campground. Nice main cabin area with ping pong tables. Pool and spa area are well kept and very nice looking! Not a bad place to camp, but very open (very little trees or shade) in such a hot city (during summer)!
ScoutThis is a private camp CRA BUT YOU CAN GET 3 NIGHT STAY WITH A TOUR OF FACILITY.
LegendThis place is really everything in more. Your away from the hustle and bustle of the river traffic but close enough to still Enjoy.
Clean bathrooms Spotless pool and spa Stunning restaurant that offers brunch for $5 dollars on the weekends.
Some of the best spots were 122, 63, 55 they had some shade. They don’t have tables so bring your own. They do have full hook ups and private little rentals if need be. Super impressed! Great roads for biking Friendly people as well.
Guide
Affordable camping and day use on the Colorado River just North of Bullhead City, AZ and Laughlin, NV. Full hook-ups available, showers, and on the river camping. Great place to spend a few days or just a few hours on the river. Convenient Jetski rentals on site.
GuideVery nice and helpful employees. Lots of different areas to camp in. Overall, Davis Camp is clean and a very safe place to camp. We always get the yearly pass for seniors $20.00. Late night the donkeys walk through the park.
GuideDavis camp has gotten very populated over the years and gets really crowded, really quickly. If you want a nice spot, better get there early. Bathrooms were all either out of order or very dirty. Also, it is much more enjoyable with water toys (jet skis, boats, inflatables, etc) since there is not much more to do beside hang out by the river or take a ride out on it. The bugs get pretty insane as the sun goes down.
GuideWe camp here 3-4 times during the summer
Pros Great for kids Fun for all ages Always clean Allowed to drink River water is clear Great for boats and jet skis Casinos, restaurants and any kind of store minutes away
Cons Overcrowded Gets extremely hot in the summer
ScoutGreat for RVs.
TravelerIt’s still HOT at end of September. 108 when we pulled in. Nice park. Pretty quiet at night. Busy during the day since it’s a day use as well. Amazing how river is empty at 8am but by 10am it’s back full again and Jet Skiis are running strong. Had spot B59 which is an end with grass and great for the pups. Also has water fill stations for $.25 per gallon which is handy for the North Point and the fresh drinking water.
TravelerLoved being able to set up our Napier Sportz tent with our Subaru at the river's edge on the Colorado River just outside of Bullhead City, Az. (across from Laughlin, NV). So clear! Lots of families with jet skis, which we found entertaining although noisy. We just parked our beach chairs in the water as it was hot!! Bath and showers ok, but a hike up the stairs. Pet friendly, too!
GuideWe group camp here with fellow youth sports families. The kids love the open areas to run and play in though there are not great playgrounds. The sites are mostly level but could use some maintaining. The grounds are very dusty and the roads are a mix of dirt and old pavement. The staff and fellow campers were all super nice!
We did read that during holidays and summer weekends there are charges for wristbands that seem pretty high; we did not see any of those charges on a late October weekend stay. Recommend checking that out before booking.
LegendThis camp ground has so much it’s a little village in its own. Who doesn’t love camping and walking straight out to the River at your feet? Literally tent camping is allowed that close. Forgot your ice? They sale that on site as well. They have dump stations for your RVs and fresh water source to Fill up. They have covered tables and bbq grills as well. You can rent cabins that they have available but they are always booked up so if that’s what your after make sure to book in advance. Even if your not camping and you just want to go in it’s ten dollars no matter just so you know. Summer time this place is lines miles long so get there a day early before the weekend starts to save you a little wait. This place you can get to by boat, drive, and even walking. They do have clean bathrooms and it’s Well kept. Keep your food in containers because they have skunks and raccoons.. I know crazy.. little fact the entire Laughlin area has them near the water and hotels because they want a quick meal. AnywAy have proper storage because you may wake up to nothing... really nice place on the water!
GuideWhat an awesome Campground with just about everything. If you want to rent camp spend the day hike explore boat it’s awesome here and they are extremely dog friendly with a bunch of dog stations. If you have a RV of any size it’s perfect and wide open here. The Colorado river is beautiful and at your door step. Rent jet skis or go on a boat ride from the Casino across the river on the Nevada side in Laughlin. Camp Davis is huge and theirs something for everyone here if it’s just a day or two for you and the pooch (Boomerz)
TravelerWe stayed just Saturday through Monday. It was so windy we could barely be outside! Couldn’t sleep at night because the wind was so fierce we were scared we were going to blow away! The site was a back in and some experienced campers helped us back in. We had water and electric. No shade in our site and we were closer to the road. Showers and bathrooms are dated but they work. Doubt we will go back there since even though it was close to the river there was nothing between the sites so it felt more like a parking lot than it did camping. And we will never forget the winds!
ScoutDry camped by the water during the week. Pretty spot but very noisy with music and people outside until well after midnight. 10pm quiet time largely ignored and not enforced.
TravelerThis place was okay. It was right next to the water and the mountains in the background were beautiful. Close to the city- so we unhooked the RV and for gas and picked up a few items. They have a Walmart, Sams Club and Home Depot within two miles away. Based on the street we were on, Bullhead City was a very sketchy place though and did not feel very safe. The campsite itself felt safe though. The campsite was too small and close to others for my liking. We have dogs who love to bark at other dogs and whenever they hear sounds, so we always prefer a lot of space. Our dogs love the water but there were too many other dogs and people around to let them off leash to be able to play. Important to know, there is a two dog limit. The neighbors had their music extremely loud until around 9pm and there are a lot of jet skis constantly whizzing by. So, overall, not the worst but wasn’t really for us.
