      DJ's RV Park

      Not to bad

      Not a bad little park. The pool is a little small and not much of a dog park. (There is a dry wash behind the dog park that people use but they don’t pick up after their pets). Handful of long term RV’rs here. The prices are not to bad considering it’s lake Havasu. I’d stay here again!

      Havasu Falls RV Resort

      Nice

      Very tight spots. We like a little more space between rigs. Clean amenities, close to town. Dog walk area but no dog park. Great staff

      River Island State Park Campground

      Nice family spot.

      Lots of flying bugs 30 min before and after sunrise and set but they all go away. Not many camping spots but close to water and clean restroom with hot showers. Boat launch, lots of RV parking dog friendly with a dog park. Get good water shoes or your feet will be cut up from river rocks that are everywhere. Close tent camping so if you hate people walking through or around this is not ideal for you.

      Kingman KOA

      Overnighter

      The people at the Kingman Koa were very nice and accommodating. Rv spots are all dirt but surrounded by trees and bushes for some privacy. Bathrooms were older but clean. There is a cute dog park with a few tunnels to climb on, but no grass. A bunch to do for kids. They have a nice playground, mini golf, horse shoes, and a pool. The pool was good side but the water was alittle merky.

      Adorable mini log cabins for rent.

      Overall good place for short trips. Tucked in a neighborhood and close to retail and town. Propane fill up available on site.

      River Island State Park Campground

      One of the best State Parks

      River Island is one of the nicest state parks I have been to.  All of the facilities are extremely well kept with immaculate bathrooms and an awesome dog park!  There is a boat launch and an area where ever the dogs can cool off in the lake.  In addition to enjoying the lake, there is an MTB Trail system just outside of Havasu City (20 Miles) with a good mix of riding.

      Tradewinds RV Park

      Golden Valley Nest

      Had a wonderful stay at this RV park. Has a wonderful staff and very friendly. Full hook-ups make the stay very convenient and comfortable, not only the cost is very reasonable. Dogs enjoyed the dog park and the old farm equipment made the place very rustic.

      River Island State Park Campground

      Great little place on the River!

      We did a Friday-Monday extended weekend here. Great place, friendly staff, dog park and a short walk to the beach / cove area. We weren’t too fond of the 120° we experienced on our stay, but the cool water kept us all comfortable. We stayed in spot 12 and had no complaints it suited us perfectly!

    Guide to Yucca

    Dispersed camping options near Yucca, Arizona range from high-elevation mountain terrain to desert environments, with elevations varying between 1,800 to 6,000 feet across the region. The area experiences temperature fluctuations of up to 40 degrees between day and night during winter months. Most dispersed camping sites require visitors to pack out all waste and bring sufficient water supplies for the duration of their stay.

    What to do

    Wildlife viewing: Hualapai Mountain Park offers exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities in early morning hours. "I have been there many times over the years and have never been disappointed. I have never been so close to wild life before the elk and deer roam the area, especially in the morning hours," reports Chris G. The park provides 10 miles of hiking trails through pine forests.

    Night hiking: Explore after dark at higher elevations for cooler temperatures and stargazing. Kevin T. shares, "I came night hiking here and the star will amaze you. I got to see reptiles like tarantulas and scorpions." Bring a red light to preserve night vision while spotting nocturnal wildlife.

    Off-road exploring: Access remote campsites via dirt roads that often require high-clearance vehicles. "You need to go a ways in... like a mile or two to get a decent spot, though the road isn't all that bad, so it's just cruising along until you find the one," notes David H. about Craggy Wash. The area features caves and interesting rock formations suitable for drone photography.

    What campers like

    Desert stargazing: Away from city lights, many dispersed sites offer exceptional night sky viewing. "I saw it was secluded but there is traffic from the dirt road next to it. The views were very nice especially since it was the day before the full moon," says Mike S. about Hwy 193 BLM Dispersed camping.

    Natural privacy barriers: Many sites feature juniper trees and desert plants creating natural site separation. Laura M. notes, "There are so many little private spots, several marked with rock fire pits, that you can find clustered in this little area, and yet with all the junipers and plant life surrounding you it will still feel fairly private."

    Mountain climate escape: Higher elevation sites provide relief from summer desert heat. "Pine forest at 6-8,000 ft... $20 a night, dry camp will get you out of the blast furnace of the Kingman summer," explains Jenny H. about Hualapai Mountain Park.

    What you should know

    Cell service varies widely: Coverage depends on terrain and proximity to towns. "Good att service and Verizon was spotty, but usable," reports Laura M. Other campers note that positioning within a campsite can significantly impact reception: "Cell signal is dependent on where you camp, have to have line of sight to the cell tower across hwy 95, otherwise no signal."

    Road conditions challenge low-clearance vehicles: Many access roads deteriorate seasonally. "Road is a dusty washboard gravel, first 1 mile no camping, then a couple miles of free dispersed camping," explains Greg L. "Hwy 193 does continue past this point and there are more spots to be found further down, but the road has been washed out and gullied."

    Dog-friendly campgrounds near Yucca require preparation: While most allow pets, the desert environment presents challenges. "Sand is soft and we had a hard time getting and keeping our RV level," notes Laura about terrain at Lone Tree Dispersed Camping BLM, something to consider when planning dog-friendly camping activities.

    Tips for camping with families

    Campground amenities: Choose established sites with family facilities when camping with children. "We stayed at the Pioneer RV Campsite and it was beautiful and rustic. We played a bit of disc golf between rain showers, saw an elk, explored the area," reports Willa J.

    Budget options: County parks offer affordable camping with recreation options. "This is a Mohave County park near Kingman AZ. But... we found an excellent hiking loop and were able to do a 7 to 8 mile hike in varied mountain terrain," writes Mary S., highlighting family-friendly activities.

    Pet-friendly camping areas: Monitor ground temperatures for paws during summer months. "We went when it wasn't summer hectic and was nice more of an off season but still well kept and enjoyable," notes Brittney C. about Pirate Cove, a pet-friendly camping option along the Colorado River with beach access.

    Tips from RVers

    Leveling challenges: Bring extra leveling blocks for desert camping. "We found a huge spot. You will probably have to do some leveling on your vehicle," advises David P. Sandy conditions can shift overnight, requiring adjustments.

    Proximity to resources: Plan stops near towns for supplies. "Havasu Heights is right near the I-40 if you want a quick stay passing through and want a quick stop in Lake Havasu City," notes Bare Soul W., highlighting the balance between seclusion and access to amenities at this pet-friendly dispersed camping area.

    Weather preparation: Pack for significant temperature swings. "I have been there in the snow and rain, and it is still a good time," reports Chris G. about Hualapai Mountain Park. RVers recommend having both heating and cooling options available regardless of season.
