Summer temperatures typically exceed 100°F, while winter nights can drop below freezing.

What to do
Grand Canyon Skywalk access: Meadview RV Park offers convenient camping for Grand Canyon West visitors, located about 35 minutes from the famous attraction. One camper noted that "Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai reservation has the famous SkyWalk. The Grand Canyon West is commercialized and a little on the pricey side."
Desert exploration: The region features unique Joshua Tree forests and desert landscapes perfect for off-road adventures. According to a visitor at Meadview RV Park, "During the day there are many things you can do: fishing, hiking, biking, atv riding, swimming, gold prospecting, walking, visit the sky walk, kayaking, and so much more."
Chloride murals and petroglyphs: Historic mining town Chloride offers unique outdoor art. A camper staying at Chloride Western R.V. Park mentioned, "You can get up to the murals from this RV park, it's just a 20-minute drive... any car would make it." Another visitor shared: "We could walk into town and I took 3 mile dog walks into the desert right out the door."
What campers like
Late check-in options: Several RV sites near Peach Springs, Arizona accommodate late arrivals with self-service systems. A guest at Blake Ranch RV Park explained: "From the moment we called the lady was the sweetest and most helpful!! She explained where they were located and where to go and what to do when we arrived for late check in. There is a map that shows what spots are still available, you mark out what spot you want and put your 40-50 dollars in an envelope."
Clean facilities: Travelers consistently mention bathroom and shower cleanliness as important factors. At Sunrise RV Park, one camper reported: "Far and away the cleanest bathrooms and nicest showers of any campground / RV park I've ever been to!" Another camper at Sunrise stated, "The shower facilities were clean and the water was hot. Wifi was adequate. Very nice place to re-charge your batteries."
Pet-friendly accommodations: Most campgrounds welcome dogs and some offer dedicated pet areas. A camper at Blake Ranch RV Park shared: "My Dog enjoyed the dog run." Another visitor at Fort Beale RV Park mentioned the "dog park fenced in. Small but big enough for pups to get exercise safely."
What you should know
Hookup variations: Full-service sites are standard at most RV parks, but quality varies. A camper at The Caverns Inn Campground & RV Park noted some drawbacks: "The toilets are just porta potties, which I don't think have ever been cleaned. But it did the job, we need a place to stay to break up a long drive, and it did just that."
Limited amenities in remote areas: Stock up on supplies before heading to more isolated campgrounds. A camper at Meadview RV Park advised: "The nearest major amenities are in Kingman about an hour away so stock up before you arrive."
Site spacing considerations: Some parks have tighter site arrangements than others. A Fort Beale visitor observed: "Sites felt a bit tight/close and lack of any trees felt a bit sad. Good bit of constant road noise but felt very safe there."
Tips for camping with families
Pool availability: Several RV parks offer swimming pools, especially welcome during hot summer months. A camper at Fort Beale RV Park mentioned: "Awesome RV park. Paved road, clean gravel sites, beautiful pool, dog park fenced in."
Quiet time enforcement: Most parks maintain evening quiet hours. A guest at Joshua Re-TREE-t mentioned: "We have a light and noise ordinance (9:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) so you're sure to enjoy the quiet and peace!"
Entertainment options: Some campgrounds provide additional amenities for family entertainment. A Sunrise RV Park camper noted: "We used the lending library for a couple of videos we had not seen!"
Tips from RVers
Big rig accessibility: Most campgrounds can accommodate larger RVs, but verify specifics before arrival. A Blake Ranch visitor with a 44-foot fifth wheel shared: "We have learned that KOA's laid out in the 60's and 70's are not laid out for modern big rig rv's. We have a Cyclone 4270 (44' 5th wheel) and in truck and we're around 60'. Park is not far off rout 40 and easy drive, just far enough that sound is muted from campground but highway is visible."
Site leveling: Ground conditions vary across the region. A Blake Ranch visitor observed: "Sites are gravel and pretty level!"
Wi-Fi reliability: Internet access varies significantly across campgrounds. A Sunrise RV Park camper warned: "We found it because I was rude to dig on what seemed like someone else's receipt from earlier same day. We stayed at site 34, wi-fi was not possible to have, so don't get hooked by free wi-fi, you have to be close to the Office to have it."
