Both locations feature yurts and glamping tents equipped with electricity, comfortable bedding, and access to modern restrooms with showers. The Hualapai site, nestled at 6,000-8,000 feet elevation, provides a refreshing retreat from desert heat with glamping options surrounded by mature pine trees and granite boulders. Guests can rent unique stone cabins built in the 1930s by the CCC or stay in specially designed glamping units with picnic tables and fire rings.

Glamping sites are available year-round at Kingman KOA, while the Hualapai Mountain Park location operates seasonally from May through October, offering a cool mountain retreat when desert temperatures peak.

    Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area

    Clean campground near Colorado River.

    This was a small, 24-site campground near the Colorado River. The sites are not reservable so first come first served. The grounds and bathroom were clean. There are coin showers so make sure to bring quarters if you’re planning to use them. Otherwise, the river was really cool and refreshing. There were ants on our tent pad so we didn’t use the regular tent. We were one of the few tent campers, everyone else was in RV’s/trailers.

    It is somewhat near the highway so you can hear cars that drive over the rumble strips from time to time (so bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper).

    The sites also have hookups, a grill, a fire pit and shade ramadas. There are a few bushes separating you from other campsites and they were spaced pretty decently where we didn’t hear the RV noises.

    The beach area to the river was within walking distance. There are shade ramadas too and some have picnic tables. The water was very cold but refreshing.

    I would camp here again in the cooler months or if I had an air conditioned rig during the warmer months. It got up to the high 90s during the day but was nice and cool late at night.

    if it wasn’t for the river I’d give this campground about 3 stars because of the ants and highway noise.

    (sorry for the lack of photos for the whole site)

    Katherine Landing South Campground

    Clean and LOTS of sites available

    173 campsites available so even on a busy weekend there are places to stay. Large sites with trees in between. Clean bathrooms. Showers and laundry on site. Water available. Great T-mobile service, wifi available. If you are looking for a place to stay the night or a few days, this is recommended. $20/night or $10/night for seniors or access passes.

    Needles KOA

    Deluxe campground, sweltering heat

    This is my first time staying at a KOA campground. I'm impressed with how many amenities are provided: pool, laundry room, clubhouse, well-appointed bathroom, and a camp store with reasonable prices. My campsite is tidy and of a generous size. There are only a few shrubs for privacy, but the campground is practically empty so this isn't an issue today.

    What is an issue today is the heat. As I write this at 10:11 at night, it is 100° F. When I arrived in Needles this afternoon, it was 114° F. The water that comes out of the spigots here is like bathwater. I started my day in L.A., where it was about 70° F. I knew it would be hotter inland, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. I'll be breaking camp at dawn tomorrow and hurrying back into the air conditioned sanctuary of my car. This campground is probably much more pleasant in the winter.

    Lake Havasu State Park Campground

    Arizona State Beach

    Camped here  April 28 and stayed for 2 nights. Was very close to home but wanted to test out the new trailer. It's $30 a night for non beach sites and $40 for beach front. The sites are well separated and there are fire rings, cabana and picnic tables at each site. There is also water and electric at all sites, 30 and 50 amp.  Its was very warm the days we stayed and had the A/C on the whole time. There are flush toilets and showers available. Nice hiking trails around the park. The campground staff are all pleasant and they keep the sites and bathrooms very clean. Its even close enough to town that you can walk to many nice restaurants. The beach's are sandy and you have a nice view of the sunset over the water in the evening. There is a dump station for those with holding tanks. All sites are reservable and there are also air conditioned cabins for rent.

    Katherine Landing South Campground

    Close to all the action

    Really a nice campground, nice big spots, tables and a fire pit as well as a laundry room and did I mention clean bathrooms!!! oleander trees space out each camp spot which give you all the privacy anyone could need. Perfect place to ride bikes and it’s a good walking distance to the pier with restaurant, grocery store, fishing and boat rentals. This is like a village in its own. Great area for sure and it’s the perfect time now before it’s to hot.

    Kingman KOA

    A regular stop when visiting family

    We regularly stay at this KOA when visiting family in the area. We love the Deluxe Patio sites, but they are not in our budget when on a fixed income. If you can afford it, the deluxe patio sites offer the most room, plus a concrete patio, fire pit, and grill.

    This time, we stayed in the longer pull throughs on the other side of the campground - but these pull throughs are narrow if you have slideouts on both sides. Forget using an awning, we barely have room for the slides or walking between slide and hedge. See photos.

    These sites are closest to the road, and there is road noise. Especially when the trash pickup truck comes at 6am.

    The mini golf area has been refreshed and it looks really nice.

    Lake Havasu State Park Campground

    Great Option in Lake Havasu

    I ended up staying 3 nights here. The first in the regular paid campground--$50 a night--yikes for water/electric. 

    Then I discovered the overflow parking lot. $25 for dry camping. Much better views and you still have access to the park's amenities--showers, potable water, hiking trails, etc. Plus the vibe is more communal. 

    For the overflow sites you need to check in at the gate and you're assigned a site. Some of them are flatter than others. Mine was pretty level. 

    A big storm rolled in while I was here and it was fun to watch the lighting across the lake. Lots of bunnies and birds. But you are super close to town. Can hear the road noise and sirens at night. Biking distance from the London Bridge and other Havasu attractions.

    Buckskin Mountain State Park Campground

    Another great State Park

    Buckskin is another favorite if you don’t mind the heat but want to be within walking distance to the water. The river is extremely busy during the summer months. You can swim close to shore but can’t swim across the river as you’ll get ran over. Great beach areas to beach boats and play in the water for the kids. We stayed in 57 which was close to the dump station but wasn’t busy until Sunday at check out time. There is a dog park on site. Cell phone service is terrible. (Verizon). The resturant and store recently closed. As well as the gas station. We heard that on the California side there was a newer site opening and an arcade but never checked it out.


Guide to Yucca

Glamping close to Yucca, Arizona offers a contrast of high-elevation pine forests and desert landscapes. The area surrounding Yucca transitions from low desert at 1,800 feet to pine-covered mountains reaching 8,000 feet, creating temperature differentials of 15-25 degrees between elevations. During summer months, nighttime temperatures at higher elevations can drop to 50°F while daytime temperatures remain moderate compared to the desert floor.

What to do

Night hiking under stars: Hualapai Mountain Park trails offer unique nocturnal experiences. "I came night hiking here and the star will amaze you. I got to see reptiles like tarantulas and scorpions," reports Kevin T. from Hualapai Mountain Park.

Water activities at Lake Havasu: The state parks along Lake Havasu provide multiple access points for swimming and boating. "We spent a great deal of time in the water as it was 100 degrees. The ranger warned us to stay on the side of the river as the speed boats are fast and don't look!" advises Jen H. from Buckskin Mountain State Park.

Disc golf between showers: The Hualapai Mountains offer recreational activities even in variable weather. "We played a bit of disc golf between rain showers, saw an elk, explored the area, and ate twice in Kingman, just 10 miles away," shares Willa J., highlighting the area's diverse recreational options.

What campers like

Wildlife encounters: The higher elevation camping areas frequently feature wildlife. "I have been there many times over the years and have never been disappointed. I have been so close to wild life before the elk and deer roam the area, especially in the morning hours," notes Chris G. about Hualapai Mountain Park.

Comfortable temperatures: Higher elevations provide relief from desert heat. "We stayed two nights for the maiden voyage of our RPod, just after the park opened for the season... We played a bit of disc golf between rain showers, saw an elk, explored the area," explains Willa J., highlighting the cooler mountain climate compared to surrounding desert.

Variety of accommodation options: Wild Cow Springs Recreation Area offers more remote camping experiences. "My boyfriend and I stayed 1 night here with our dog and we loved it. The sites are well spread out so each camp has privacy," explains Miranda T., describing the BLM-managed campground located in the mountains near Kingman.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Hualapai Mountain Park has limited operating seasons. "$20 a night, dry camp will get you out of the blast furnace of the Kingman summer. 10 gorgeous miles of hiking trails. Rent a 1930's stone cabin for $90," advises Jenny H., noting the temperature advantage of mountain camping.

Site selection impacts privacy: At Lake Havasu State Park, site selection can determine your experience. "I ended up staying 3 nights here. The first in the regular paid campground--$50 a night--yikes for water/electric. Then I discovered the overflow parking lot. $25 for dry camping. Much better views," reports Kathy B., detailing the cost differences.

Cash requirements: Late arrivals at some parks need exact cash. "We arrived after the rangers had left for the day so we had to put cash in an envelope at the pay station. It is not $15 like the app says, it is $30 a night for tent camping and if you arrive late, have exact change," warns Hunter I. about Hualapai Mountain Park.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Kingman KOA offers multiple family activities. "This a great experience since we were originally not planning on camping on our way back to California, but it got late and we were tired. We got a KOA basic cabin which fit my husband and I and a bunk bed which our son loved. The campground also had a pool, hot tub, playground, mini golf and a little train," shares Katherine T.

Boat launch access: Families with water toys benefit from dedicated launch areas. "Great spot right out side of town," notes Christian S. about Hualapai Mountain Park, while another camper at Cattail Cove mentions, "This place is awesome, good camp sites, great camp hosts. Nice beach area, hiking trails, volly ball court launch ramp... Fishing."

Beginner-friendly sites: Some locations cater specifically to new campers. "The Cattail Cove Campgrounds are perfect for a beginners camp site. The campsites are flat and easy to back in your car and set up your tent. The table on site is big enough to sit 6 people," explains Manny D.

Tips from RVers

Pioneer RV Campground challenges: The Hualapai Mountain Park RV area has some limitations. "The Pioneer RV Campground consists of about 10 sites terraced into a hilly area accessed via a steep, one-way but well maintained road. The sites were way too close together for privacy... it was worth it to have immediate access to the Potato Patch Loop trailhead," explains Craig J., noting the tradeoffs.

Full hookup considerations: Davis Camp Park offers various RV accommodations. "Stayed in B loop, spaces were nice and wide. Some have lots of trees but some have nothing. Some of the spaces nearest the river have a good water view but some are blocked by vegetation," notes Michele H., highlighting the variability of sites.

Leveling issues: Some mountain sites require leveling equipment. "We stayed two nights for the maiden voyage of our RPod, just after the park opened for the season. The campsites were great, but they were not level, and the turnaround area was under construction so I didn't really have room and nearly jackknifed it," cautions Willa J. about the Hualapai Mountain sites.
