We spent 10 nights here and really enjoyed the experience. There are campsites over several miles, along the road and places in the floodplain of the lake.
We camped near the gate valve station 2. Very quiet at night and almost no visitors. We loved the solitude!
Bathroom is located East of our camp site in a densely packed camping area with little to no privacy. We found the bathrooms only convenient when we drove there.
This is supposed to be a wildlife refuge but we awoke several mornings to gunshots which we presumed were quail hunters. That was confusing.
There were a lot of off road vehicles stiring up dust on the weekends. I got the impression that they were joy-riding. Simple pleasures...
Guide
There is plenty of space for rigs of any size, and a very smooth gravel road into the camping area. Some train noise from tracks about 1/2 mile away. Great for Solar and Starlink(did not test cellular specific but had decent service on my Verizon phone). Did a video review of the area as well as the resources available. You can find that in the videos with this link https://youtu.be/XZRaOBQY7c4

Free 14 day camping. Very dusty when wind picks up but plenty of places to tent camp or RV. VFW club house on site.
Guide
FREE & SPACIOUSNESS! Lots of places to park without being on top of the neighbors. Closest camper is over 400 yards away. Great views in all directions and only 3.5 miles to Palm Canyon. PC is the ONLY place in AZ where Palm trees are native. Apparently they have been growing in this secluded spot since this whole area was under water. Think of the song "Beach Front Property in Arizona".... Anyway, something cool to see. It's less than 4 miles off AZ-95 on a dirt road followed by a 1/2 mile VERY EASY hike from the parking area.
Guide
Located South of Q Casino on way to boarder crossing. No amenities. Just a great place to park for free. Casino charges $10/nite for exact same amenities.

One of the best boon docking places yet. 40ft Rv made it in easy
Ranger
Pilot Knob RV Resort is a solid option for RV travelers, especially those affiliated with Thousand Trails or Encore campgrounds. Overall, I’d give it 4 stars, with the only downside being its remote location. Aside from the Granite Museum and the overpriced gas station at the exit, there’s not much nearby. For most necessities, you’ll need to drive into Yuma, which also involves crossing a time zone.
On the positive side, the amenities at the campground are great and seem recently renovated. The restrooms, game room, and pool area are all clean and well-maintained, and the shuffleboard courts and bocce ball are fun additions. There always seem to be organized events on the calendar, which is nice if you’re into social activities, though we didn’t attend any ourselves.
The RV sites are spacious, especially compared to other Thousand Trails locations. This makes it a great spot for those who RV part-time or full-time and enjoy a bit more room to spread out.
The staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful, and package/mail handling is seamless, which is a bonus for longer stays. The sunsets are absolutely gorgeous, and the nearby Pilot Knob hiking trails and Sand Dunes offer excellent opportunities to explore the outdoors.
Lastly, we enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the nearby casino—it was delicious and convenient, though the casino itself wasn’t our favorite for gambling.
Yuma is about a 20 minute drive.
Traveler
We had a great stay, enjoyed the atmosphere, delicious food and excellent beers. The live music in the weekend is a plus. We had an opportunity to see the beer brewer in action, and highly recommend their date beer. We also checked out the date farm; impressive. Camp spot is on the parking area, no hookups. Evenings and nights were quiet under the stars.
Traveler
This an excellent place for a stopover especially if you are heading south through the algodones border crossing. Although you can hear traffic it’s not intrusive. 5 minutes east of the 95 just north of the border patrol check point. It’s dispersed camping, flat, no shade. It has nice views of the surrounding mountains. The one thing to be on the lookout for is the tiny red cactus that is abundant.
Guide
We loved the spot so very much!! We will be back every winter
Scout
It was a nice place very clean and very quiet.
Guide
Traveling down Black Mountain road for about 2miles of wash boards before turning down the camping road.
All the sites were empty as it was almost 100degrees outside and nothing for shade of a creature larger than a bird could find. But here we found quiet solitude and a cooler evening, perhaps the winds helped.
If you have furry friends keep a watch for their paws, there’s small cacti/pokeys scattered about.
Lovely sunrise and sunset 360 views.
Good Verizon service!
Scout
Big rig friendly - lots of space to spread out. Nice areas to hike and climb. Can get rather windy and there is some smelly smoke at times from Mexico area. Can drive to Mexico for various doctor/dentist/etc. Easy drive to Yuma as well. Great deal for the winter! Present when the 'scary' situation occurred in March as noted by someone else. Involved 2 parties with dogs loose. We did not and do not feel unsafe at all here.
Traveler
We stayed just one night while traveling through. It's about 1/4 mile from a Walmart with a few other RV parks around it. The Staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to make a reservation over the phone. We had full hook-ups (both 30 & 50 amps were available). It's a small RV camp with spaces, a pool, and a building with bathrooms (very clean), showers (use quarters), and several washers and dryers that cost $1.25 & $1 respectively. Wifi was on slower side but sufficient to stream TV shows. We paid $45.
Guide
Apparently they have done lots of updating and things are looking better. They clearly have put some money into the place but staff is not taking care of it good enough. Bathrooms are new but are not cleaned well. New tile is stained already. Staff told us we had to buy a washcard, they just didn't know you can use that app only and recommended us drive down the road so we didn't have to buy a $10 card. The dryers count down weather you have the door open or closed. Pools are great and are popular. Lots of spaces available. In March. Mix match of mini homes and RVs. Pretty big place. They parked just near the entrance and it was very noisy with the freeway. If you can get in the back I'm sure it is much better. We also had a very strange sulfur smell at night, almost suffocating. It happened twice?
ScoutI had a very bad scary experience here. The camphost wasn't available at 4 pm to help w a man behaving erratically, threatening my life & others.
TravelerIt's quiet, very few people here and plenty of places to choose from.
Scout
It was lovely. We were lakeside and able to fish daily. Wish we’d had a kayak. Only had 4 days there. Wanted 14! A lot of hiking trails! Sometimes I felt I was on another planet. (That’s why we travel:) The weather just got better and better but we had to cut it short. See you next year!
TravelerLots of nice flight that spots very nice view
Guide
We loved this place. We followed directions. TheQueens road portion.
We are in 23 fr rv and took main road in. There is a split off between queens and palm canyon. Palm canyon any vehicle can do. Queens you won’t take an rv in. You’ll want high clearance for sure .. that said , just coming in main road there are lots of great spots. Clean, quiet and great views of mountains Had three bars cell with ATT Busy spot so come early
Scout
No overnight camping allowed
Guide
I was looking forward to this campground and booked five nights. There are some really nice amenities and pools. There is a golf course on site and my husband played. We left early because we felt isolated in our camp location and felt like we were not as welcome as shorter timers. Office staff cold and overcharged us.
Ranger
It state trust land. You need a permit, which is available online and I believe the image of the receipt on your phone or laptop would suffice. Should anyone check, which I have never seen. This is at least my second stay here. Nothing exciting but it is right off of I eight, which is not audible right now over the noise from apparently someone's generator. Haven't heard any yapping dogs or idiot kids running around with a parents bearing their asses off but this is my kind of place.
ScoutThere were only a few sites available on Dec 9th which was a Saturday. Location is a little north of VFW. Drive into the VFW driveway, around the back of the VFW building going north. This will take you to the BLM site. Just drive around the flat area until you find a campsite. Dusty. Hwy 95 and railroad are next to camp area.
ScoutWhat a peacefull, friendly park! Small, only 10 spots with mountain views. Full hookups for big rigs with brick patios. Feels like home. Shelli and Mr. John are wonderful hosts. We are in a 41ft 5th wheel with back porch. No highway or trains. No Atvs or trucks driving by your site all day, so calming. Will stay again.
Scout
Back-in gravel spots were level and had concrete patios. Full hookups with WiFi for a very reasonable price. We did not use it, but there was a washing machine available at no extra cost. Short drive into town where we enjoyed the beer and food at a local brewpub. The park is nestled in a quiet neighborhood where we felt safe and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit Yuma. We did not meet the hosts in person, but communication was informative and prompt via text messages.
TravelerThe road into this campsite is long and rugged. Not worth the hassle in my honest opinion. While it does have river access with a launch ramp, the on site facility workers are less than friendly. Everyone had a terrible attitude which really was a bummer. Will never come back.
