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...
Scout
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

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!

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!
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
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.
Scout
What 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.
Guide
They have multiple activities every day for visitors and residents. We arrived around 8:30 PM, jumped in the pool and hot tub (thanks random resident for teaching us how to use the lights!!) and then headed back to our rig for the night. Geared towards RVs but we were just fine in our van. Full hookups for $32 a night! We paid cash in an envelope and dropped it at the office.
Traveler
This is a nice RV resort. It has heated pool during the winter and hot tub is always hot, and also open 24 hrs. Great laundry 1.75 for wash and dry, need a card. Unfortunately close to airport. Military jets take off and landing. Very noisy, but just for a short amount of time. It starts at around 8:30 in the morning and ends around 10:00 pm at night. They do not run all day long. Just a few planes take off and land. I like that it is close to Walmart, plus the RV park will take your shopping cart back for you, just leave your cart in front of your site, and then it’s gone. Great dog park. Nice running track next to RV park. RV’s are close during peak season. We are here late in season so we are practically the only camper here. Great staff and they even bring your mail to you. No extra charge. You can do Amazon and UPS. Those drivers will bring it to your site rather than drop off at the office.
RangerMy family and I recently stayed at Bonita Mesa RV Resort, and while it does allow children, there are some drawbacks. Firstly, they charge$10 per night for every person over two people, which can add up quickly. We ended up paying $89 with the"having children" penalty. Additionally, they do not allow more than two pets, although we saw many sites with multiple dogs. Unfortunately, we also found that the campground was not clean, and the sites were incredibly tight. If you have more than two cars, it can be difficult to find a place to park. I also suggest not letting the RV host help you park if you have a big rig, as they were very kind but caused more harm than help. On a positive note, the pool was clean and some hours were set aside for children. The laundry room was also great, but again, the price didn't justify it. Overall, finding a decent campground in Yuma can be a challenge, especially if you have a family. While Bonita Mesa RV Resort does allow children, the drawbacks may not make it worth the price. If you have a family, I suggest finding somewhere else to stay.
GuideCamp close or far from others... how adventurous are you
TravelerWe came here three years ago, and found ourselves surrounded by the same walk of life people. Last year we came back down, and met a few new people. This year we have been invited to parties throughout the park.
