Come and play in the winter too, with full access for your sand buggies for a day adventure through the desert. We are a pet friendly place equipped with a dog park and river front for fetching balls. Summer or winter Big River R.V. Park has fun for the whole family.

Traveler
Very nice State Park campground. Sites are spaced far apart. Nice rangers and volunteers. Clean all around; two shower areas, two beaches, one dogs can go on. Lots of grassy areas for playing, or dog walking.
I would give the park 5 stars except for one think. Wow, the water really tastes bad. They are apparently not of city water.
You will be happy staying here.
ScoutNice campground very clean
Traveler
Stayed the week before Thanksgiving/ mild weather. Mid week so not crowded. Reserved ahead in campground near next to the river. There are day use picnic spots between the campsites and the river which was unique. Since there was only one other camper in that section and and day users it was no problem. On a crowded weekend it could get weird. The views of the river and the mountains in the distance were so nice. Staff was super friendly on the way in. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Campsite parking is on grass. Watch out for the little stumps/poles separating campsites. They blend in with the grass at certain times. Nice variety of birds. Only stayed one night, but good time.
LegendWe stumbled onto this lovely state park campground on Christmas Eve, with no reservations (as usual) and found more than just a lovely campsite, but a whole community of campers. Each year this small park hosts a thriving Christmas potluck which is managed by their long term volunteer camp host couple. Many families plan their year around getting a reservation to be at this place on Christmas day! We were simply blown away by the community, camaraderie, and fellowship we found here.
We even tried out our first run at making homemade tamales – turned out pretty good.
Now the sites are what you might expect to see, slightly less than spacious lots with a bit of elbow room in between your neighbors. All sites are electrical and water serviced, so no need to have generators running into the wee hours. With lots of well cared for cottonwood trees, the sites offer lots of shade and space to enjoy your area.
The bathrooms have flush toilets with warm showers, and while a little dated, they were clean and did the job. Nice dishwashing sink (wish more parks had these!) and picnic tables all over the place. I think we ate nearly every meal down by the water.
The lake shore offers a good boat launch with a massive trailer parking area, and a small swimming area as well. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards from the park to enjoy the water, just be aware of the way the wind is blowing -- it can get fierce quickly! There is a beach volleyball court at the water's edge and hiking trails leave directly from the park and wind along the lakeshore and into the desert landscape.
Lake Havasu city is about 15 minutes up the road, and there you can find everything you might need in terms of services and supplies. Check out the world famous London Bridge while you’re there.

Although campsites are close together, there are many spots for friend groups to park near each other. Walking distance to the river. Walking distance to nearby bar/restaurant. Very friendly and clean area!
Traveler
Love the springs! Just far enough away from the city and also close to Parker strip! Awesome pool and spa. Motel rooms, par 3 golf course, Marina, camp store and restaurant/bar! Winter crowed is mostly snowbirds & remote workers. Rates are super reasonable. Stayed sept-March and would totally come back again!
Guide
No river views to speak of. A lot of long term full time residents. The general store comes in handy and sells liquor, beer and wine. The boat launch is kind of awkward.
GuideThis is a decent little county park. I have a glimpse of the lower Colorado River. I paid for a premium site with an $8 junk fee to reserve it myself online. It’s nothing to write home about. A very typical river rat campground.
LegendWe had to make the miles, so we arrived late after dark and left fairly early the next morning, so we were not able to fully appreciate this campground, located right on the Colorado River. We are glad we made a reservation, however, as the campground was full (Easter night).
Site Quality: We were in one of the three “premium” sites. Site 4 has no neighbors on one side and direct beach access from the rear of the site. A large picnic table and fire pit are at each site. All sites are paved and level and most can fit an RV or car/boat. The sites in the middle do not have much privacy and are separated by a chalk line in the sand.
Bath/Shower house: Several are located throughout the campground. Clean. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on that.
Activities/Amenities: All expected river activities, including swimming, boating, and fishing (many brought all the toys). Beach volleyball, sandy beach. Kayak and SUP rentals are available. ADA-accessible path. Nice amphitheater. Fish cleaning station and desert plant garden. A labyrinth, something we have never encountered in a campground.
Even though we don’t have a boat or fish, I wish we had more time to relax on the beach and enjoy this campground, but I would choose one of the premium sites for more privacy.
ScoutWe showed up early, and the spot we were assigned was occupied. The attendant checked us in, and let us wait in the boat launch area. We unpacked a couple of chairs and sat on the rivers edge until our spot was ready
ScoutVery nice, well kept on the Colorado River. Lots of jet boats with open exhaust.
ScoutGreat service and super welcoming campground was clean and close to warer
GuideNice Regional park on the Colorado River. Has all the amenities for RV and dry camping. Sandhills cranes fly over in morning. Spectacular! Beautiful sunrise and sunset.
TravelerWe had a large shady site with river views. It is a beautifully kept campground. Our dogs enjoyed the spacious and grassy dog park. Bathrooms/showers were basic and kept clean and functional. Cell service was nonexistent for T-Mobile. There is a boat ramp and designated swimming area. Very family friendly. There was no excess noise from campers or dogs. A great experience.
ScoutThis park is maintained VERY well and is super clean! You do have to contend with some boaters coming and going, but it’s not bad at all. Beach and swimming area are clean.
ScoutGood location and nice beach. However the site was more of an RV site, and not much privacy. All sites are $30 which is a bit expensive in my opinion Nice clean restrooms with showers though!
RangerThis is the main campground for CRA, Colorado River Adventures, membership campground. Well Over hundred gravel pull through sites. Think the only back in sites are the ones that back up to the Colorado River. There are two covered pools to hot tubs, a kids one foot deep splash pool. A bar with Cafe grilled with great food for breakfast, lunch and dinners. Kids clubhouse, playground, miniature golf. Nicely stocked Camp store. Boat launch ramp into ColoradoRiver. Full hookups. Down side was if your not in or on the Water it was hot. Was there last October for two nights and was very warm in hi 90's but this time was 115° to 120°
TravelerGreat camping state park, wide parking, my site had everything but sewer, but they have a dump station.
GuideIt’s overall a decent place with lots of amenities and things for kids to do. Rv Sites were just too close together and it’s dirt and there was some trash. It’s great for those with boats and OHV’s. there is water and a beach to swim. You have to have a membership to stay or be invited as a guest. They do have full hookups and a dog beach so pets are welcome. Be prepared for lots of noise and activity because it’s a busy place. Be sure to say hi to the donkeys that wander throughout the grounds.
GuideGreat views and camping
Traveler
The place in unkempt, but that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that I don't seem to be getting any electricity and that's mainly what I came for. The woman from the office has gone awol. I paid $40 cash for one night. It is morning now. The woman never showed. I managed to figure out how to get electric on my own. On the plus side, the noise of the nearby freeway was faint enough to not bother me. I still give only one star.
GuideAmazing views, friendly staff. Also full hook up sites with 30 amp.
LegendStayed for 2 nights. Quiet for a park this size. Lots of long term tenants. The wifi is awesome. Staff is friendly and helpful. Bathhouse is clean. Showers are lukewarm after the first 30 seconds, which is the only drawback other than the bathhouse and laundry are on the other side of the park from the short term area. I'd stay again. Closer to the Blythe Intaglio area. Lots of hiking there.
TravelerWhat a gem! Beautiful location, very peaceful and well managed. I spent two nights here and will return for a longer stay soon.
GuideGot to this campground because lake havasu was full. It’s about 20 minutes from Lake Havasu city and I liked how it’s not so crowded compared to there. There’s a nice beach area and bathrooms/showers were clean!
GuideAfter driving through Havasu City this was a welcome oasis from the traffic and strip malls. The campground is on a slope so bring your leveling skills. The trees here are well established & provide lots of natural shade. There are even citrus trees with fruit that is almost ready to pick. Restrooms/showers are clean. Campsites are raked after every camper vacates. Our campsite was on the inside of the loop so we had neighbors behind us and on both sides.
This is a great location for kayaking. We put in from the boat launch and paddled up the shoreline and across to California. You are also within 15 to 20 minutes of Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge for kayaking and River Island SP & Buckskin Mountain SP for hiking.
Only two things bothered me during our 2 week stay and that was the dogs barking and the exterior lights left on the RVs all night. Seems like a dark sky policy would solve that problem.
Just another beautiful AZ state park. We will definitely return.
