Situated on the shores of the Colorado River at Nevada’s southern tip, Big Bend of the Colorado River includes about two miles of sandy shoreline. Because the park is downstream from Davis Dam, the river is clear and cool year round. Popular activities are camping, picnicking, boating, fishing, swimming, hiking and bird watching. The variety of waterfowl and shore birds that make this park home include mallards, coots, herons and geese. Hawks, roadrunners, quail, hummingbirds, doves and owls are also abundant in the park. The nearby town of Laughlin offers the amenities of a Nevada gaming town.
$30 / night
Located on the crest of the Cerbat Mountains, Windy Point Campground provides visitors scenic views of the surrounding valley and distant mountain ranges. Enjoy camping in a pinyon pine and juniper woodland as well as recreation opportunities nearby. The campground features a vault toilet and most picnic areas and campsites are equipped with a metal fire grill, rock masonry fire ring, trash can, picnic table, and a level parking site. Campsites are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and there is a 14-day stay limit. Fees for the campground are $8/night per site.
Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources. Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska). Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.
Campground has good Level sites, Price is pretty cheap for this area (30 $ with hooks, 20 $ for dry on the boat parking lot). Restrooms could be better (the shower didn't allowed me to adjust the temperature, is was like liquid fire).
We only stay 3-4 nights per visit but everyone has always been great. They are working on upgrading the wifi, as it is very slow now. Just what we need when visiting the area.
Solid gravel roads, lots of space, small scrubery, nestled against rock formations.
It was a stop over for one night while returning home. The ladies at check in were very nice and welcoming. Long pull trough site allowed us to stay hooked up. The utilities were well placed. Sites offer fairly good privacy with hedges. This park is desert view as is in it's name, so don't expect to walk to the river. My navigation, didn't do a good job of finding it, so look for the signs they have placed on the roads. It is next to the KOA if that helps. I'd come here again.
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. We will definitely be back!
Good Verizon signal clean sites. Easy to get to beautiful area. You do need an Arizona trust camping permit. It cost $20 for the whole year. You can get it online.
We loved it here, stayed the one night to break up the journey. The directions are great, and there are two sites here, we stayed in the second. It was nice and level. The views were beautiful, and having all the space and quiet to ourselves was magical. Didn't see any snakes or other critters.
Free, no power, no water.
Great spot right out side of town
Great spot to get away quiet every park with plenty of amenities
Seems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.
Full hookups but did not get cold water this time of year. Close to action. Casinos, food and shopping.
We love it when parks have a plan for traveling campers like us who hate making reservations, and Lake Havasu came through in spades. They have a whole section of their campground dedicated to folks like us. We pulled up, grabbed a space, and spent the night right by the lakeshore.
I’m afraid we didn’t take pictures of the parking area as we were so taken with the view! It’s a huge parking lot with dedicated camping spaces, with picnic tables, trash cans and plenty of space between your neighbors. The bathrooms offer flush toilets, sinks and warm showers.
The RV dump tanks were close by, as is the vast boat launch area. While the overnight area might be a little more spartan, the rest of the park is gorgeous with looping campsite areas, rentable cabins, and winding paths.
Yet, it’s still within the town limits, so everything you might need, or want, is a short walk, bike ride, or drive away. You can even catch the ferry to the casinos across the lake if you want to lose your spending money.
Hiking, biking and paddling opportunities could all be reached from the campsite. Each site along the beach had some trees for shade, but all the sunshine you could want for solar power as well. We’ll keep this place in mind when we want a quick overnight with some shower access close to town.
I want to know if there is a camping gear rental service there? We want to ride a motorbike there slope game
This dispersed camping area which requires a ridiculously inexpensive online permit ($20 per year), was perfect for what we needed. Our closest neighbor was about ¼ mile away, and we had views and sunsets aplenty. There is access to the Lake Havasu, but only by OHV or on foot, we chose the latter.
The roads in from the highway are rough and rocky, but doable if you take it slow. Once again our 67 year old vintage camper did great getting to our spot, though we recommend parking and walking the roads before committing to the drive in.
There’s hiking opportunities right out your front door, and nothing but the highway or the lake to stop your progress. The nearby Cattail Cove State Park offers designated hiking trails through the rugged desert terrain.
Nothing in the way of services, so bring your own...but lots of space to be alone and private. And, with sun, sun, sun, the California/ Arizona skies are great for solar gathering, so bring out all your panels. Starlink internet worked well too.
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, too!
We 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.

Sams Beachcomber RV Resort is nice. Clean property. Common areas are clean and nice and cool! Utility box blew and it was fixed 2.5 hours after call. Sites are minium and close together but it's ok.
Great little spot to stop on the way. Far enought from main road. Fantastic sky at night.
You have shared some good information so far. I would like to get more information about this place. Thank you so much for sharing.
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!
The two spots are about 1.5 miles off the highway on a dirt road, you'll see a spot off the right on a narrow trail. BLM property. Free-roaming cows, didn't bother us at all. Beautiful sunset on our nights stay. The second spot is just around the first corner after the first one, less used, but probably flatter. Could hear the highway, but wasn't bothersome.
Great free camping located on Rte 66. Very clean. You must go through a gate to access camping. Be sure to close the gate. The site has lots of places to pick for car and van camping. There are only a few that would fit larger travel trailers. I would check it out before accessing the spots up the hill. We stayed one night down low with no problems in mid May.

Last minute reservation traveling from Yosemite-Tule Lake. Easy access off 40. Carla was very accommodating offering one of the 2 shaded lots available for our dogs sake as it was 92. Very Clean & quiet.
I've camped at Burro Creek Campground multiple times, and almost every time I've had the place practically to myself. It's a really neat area to explore. The creek has beavers, and rattlesnakes appear in the summer months alongside the cows. This campground is a must-stop for a weekend getaway. Before you go, search online to find ghost towns in the area.
Great campground for either tents, trailers, class A or C motorhomes. Quiet and close to Colorado River
Camp is located well off hwy so is very quiet. Good access road that is well marked after you cross bridge going south. Site #5 easy back in, level graveled area. Plenty of room for Scamp & Tacoma (30’). Covered table. No hookups and no ATT cell service. Restrooms available but didn’t use.
