  Hualapai Mountain Park

  High desert retreat

  I enjoyed my stay here. The terrain is steep, with mountain pines and boulders. This was a welcome change from the surrounding country, as was the lower temperature that comes with higher elevation. It was about 10 °F cooler here than in Kingman when I visited in June. Tent camping is first come first served. I had no problem finding a good spot on a Friday night.

  There are two areas to the campground. The front section has paved roads and is mostly cabins with some tent sites mixed in. There are real bathrooms here, though they were in need of a cleaning when I visited. The back section has dirt roads and all tent sites, with a few porta potties. The roads are steep in places, but nicely graded. My front wheel drive passenger car traversed them without difficulty.

  It is very quiet and dark here at night. Flashlights are a must, as are water vessels: there are no water spigots in the back section. I also saw what I am 80% sure was a mountain lion crossing the road at night when I was walking to one of the porta potties.

  The only real downside I noticed here was the flies. They don't bite, but they buzz around you constantly and can get pretty annoying.

  Kingman KOA

  Kingman KOA

  Arrived here at night. We took a look at the tent sites before paying, which turned out to be a good thing as someone was squatting in a site. You can hear the road from the campground and some people seemed to be using the road to race. But - the site we chose was good. They all have fences, ours had shrubs, which gave the feeling of privacy. The showers were fine and there are toilets right by the tent sites.

  Hualapai Mountain Park

  Escape from the Desert Heat

  Just a few miles off I-40 just east of Kingman. So surprising how much the temperature dropped up the mountain looking over the Arizona desert still. The rangers at the campground was very informational and helpful on finding the perfect place for either tent camping or bringing your RV with hook-ups. The grounds have plenty of trails to hike and the scenery is wonderful and the freshness of the air words can't describe. Definitely coming back in the future.

  Hualapai Mountain Park

  First time to the "Hualapais"

  This is a great place to get away from the heat in Bullhead City. There are lots of dry tent camping sites scattered throughout the park, or you could rent a cabin or even a teepee. There are rv sites with full hook ups if that's your preference. We went tent camping in the pine basin section there's no water so we brought enough for the trip. In our area I only saw port a potties scattered throughout the area. There are a lot of deer wandering around and they're not shy, a doe walked right up to me the first morning while I was making coffee. I have been told there are Elk wandering around too but I didn't see any. We enjoyed it there and will be going back. The fees are reasonable $17.00 a night for camping, you can buy firewood and ice at the check in station.

  Mohave County Park Hualapai Mount Park

  Local review

  This park is a hidden gem, a little rustic. Campsites built by CCC, old stone cabins, walls, and trails. There's RV parking away from park, a few campsites for small trailers, and beautiful tent sites.

  Fenders River Road Resort

  Small, but cozy and right on the Colorado River

  This is a small campground located right next to the Colorado River. This site has a motel, RV and what looks like tent sites. Looks clean and has views of the docks right on the water

  Hualapai Mountain Park

  Nice But Crowded

  Going 3-star only because it's pretty crowded. Tent platform sites, picnic table sites, various sized cabins. Not many tent sites, although it appears they are adding more. Ranger was very friendly and accommodating to let tent campers use picnic table sites without platforms. Sites are very close to each other. Good water spouts. Lots of hiking trails right out od camp.

  Black Mountain RV Park

  Closest Camp To Oatman and the Infamous Burros

  I wanted to find a site as close to Oatman as I could. It took me three trips that way to find this campground and finally I was happy I did. Located only about 8 miles away from Oatman, it allowed me to have a full day to explore Oatman and surrounding areas including the many mines which are closed but "open" to the person wanting to really explore.

  This place is a smaller park and though mostly they do have RV campers they do accept tent campers. The owners are very friendly and you meet them when you check in, this is not a chain so they take pride in what they give in way of service to those passing through.

  My space was clean and level for camping in a tent. I only paid $15 which was very reasonable and like I said location was key!! My site had a picnic table and was pretty basic but it was peaceful and I had a great night there as a result.

  They do offer long term RV camping at a very reasonable rate, however when I was there it didn't look like they had a ton of that traffic at the time. I will say that unlike a lot of long term lots which appear to be a bit trashy this one was maintained.

  TIPS:

  • Use this as a basecamp for going to Oatman where there are a lot of stores, a great cafe, mines to explore and of course pictures to take.

  • Bring what you need with you. The closest full grocer is in Kingman which is about 25 minutes away so if you don't want to have to drive into town then just pack it in your car.

  Hidden Oasis RV Park

  Boulder Beach Campground

  This campground is very well maintained. There ate concrete pads, picnic table and firerings. There are bathrooms and fresh water hydrants. The bathrooms ate clean. I heard owls hooting, saw some rabbits, and heard coyotes at night. There are drive thru sites for big rigs. There is tent camping. There is a camp host year round. Weather was. Mild views were great.

  Black Meadow Landing

  Desert Camping at its easiest

  You either LOVE or HATE the desert. Its hard to find an in-between. Black Meadow Landing is for all campers- whether you love or hate the desert BML will be a place that you will want to go back to. Just above the Parker Dam on the California side of fantastic Lake Havasu is a little slice of paradise. I had been going to Black Meadow Landing from 1984 to 2013- I had tent camped there as a kid as well as RV-ing. You can find all of the amenities one would need while being in the middle of a desert oasis. Too hot for the tent you brought? Rent a hotel room (I have never been in the rooms). Dont feel like cooking? Go to the diner. Forget something? You have a store right there. Need Gas? They have an on-water Cheveron for your boating needs or your land-bound vehicle needs. I golfed here during the monsoon season- its far too hot during summer to bring your clubs.
  In the wonderfully hot nights I have chased wild burros attempting to get up close to them (as a young kid basically growing up here... stay away from wildlife.... watch and observe from afar). Wild Rams roam around every so often. Skunks will check out your trash at your site so be sure to dispose of your trash before you tuck-in for the night. Fishing is wonderful here. We used to fish from the docks and catch Large Mouth Bass and Catfish. Crayfish are plenty around the area and can be caught easily. You will see Carp and Perch and Bluegill as well. BML is right on the water and there are many RV sites that are waterside. I am not certain about tenting sites close to the water however you have a lagoon to swim in, a sheltered cove full of boating slips.

  Since this is Lake Havasu, be forewarned that during holiday seasons it can get pretty crazy busy and the crowds are plenty- on the water and at the lake even at this campground. Most of the ordeal is up in Havasu City and populates in the Channel and under the London Bridge... so you are a ways from it all however close enough to make the North End a day trip.

  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.

  Hualapai Mountain Park

  Wonderful family weekend

  Went up for a few days to disconnect from the reality of home and to spend some time together as a family. Tent camping - took us a minute to find a spot but we found an amazing space just a short walk to the bathrooms. There’s porta potty’s closer but my little girls wanted to use the nicer bathrooms. There’s tons of hiking, beautiful scenery, VERY friendly wildlife. Elk and deer are everywhere and aren’t afraid of people. The weather was wonderful.

  Pirate Cove

  Fun themed park!!

  What a fun place for you and your kids! Lots of River activities and ATV trails. If you don't have the toys, they have all types of rentals available for purchase (1/2 day and full day increments).

  The cottages were beautiful, the on site restaurant was huge and inviting! There are tent sites, RV sites, and boat docks.

  I have T-Mobile, and didn't receive any signal while I was there.

  Buckskin Mountain State Park Campground

  Desert Oasis

  Buckskin is an amazing park. We have tent camped and RV camped there. Hookups and restrooms are great. The showers are also nice. The best part is, you’re on the Colorado River!!! There are 2 beaches, one you can beach your boat and another that has a designated swimming area. (If you plan on leaving your boat overnight, anchor out about 10-20 feet from shore. The water level drops a few feet at night.) they are also planning to remodel the closed restaurant on site. This is a very friendly family environment.

  Lake Havasu State Park Campground

  2nd great visit to this park

  This is our 2nd stay at Lake Havasu State Park. We had site C-2 in the cabin loop with W/E. Recommend weekdays if you like quiet camping. We were there Monday thru Thursday with only a couple days advanced resi and had the cabin loop all to ourselves until the last night. Most weekends are booked. As always the park is immaculate with nice personal combo bathrooms & showers. Clean & level tent sites as well. The park staff had huge smiles and waves at the gate every time we returned from our days adventure. Great welcome!

  Windy Point Campground

  Remote campground where you wouldn’t expect to find one.

  Although you can make it to the campground in 2wd, I wouldn’t take a car. SUV/truck preferred. Tent camping/car camping only, no RV sites at all. The road is steep, winding, dirt with loose gravel 11 miles off the paved road. Camp sites have a great view because of the elevation. picnic tables and fire rings in each site as well as many trash receptacles and clean toilets. no other amenities. Rough off-roading in the areas surrounding the campground leading to old mining areas. Awesome views, we went in June when it was probably 110 degrees at the base of the mountain, mid 90s up at the camp site.

  Buckskin Mountain State Park Campground

  Full Amenity Campground with Riverfront sites

  PROS: 

  • Some sites are right on the Colorado river.
  • Beautiful mountain ranges in the background.
  • Full amenities at this park including showers and restrooms.
  • Our site had a nice fire pit and grill, where you could simultaneously cook over coals while still having a nice fire going in the other area of the pit.
  • This campground is near a lot of incredible hiking opportunities.

  CONS:

  • Our site was right underneath a bright lamp that shined into our tent and made it hard to sleep. We were at the site next to the walkway down to the river. Sites next to the bathrooms will also deal with night lamps.
  • Tent sites are gravel, which isn't so bad except the whole are kind of slopes down to the river, making sleeping flat difficult.

  Overall a well maintained and friendly park. Would come again.

  Echo Lodge

  100+ degrees and 100 % fun

  Camped here during 2019, 4th of July weekend. Mobile home rentals available, full hookup RV services, and tent camping available. Echo Lodge is in a beautiful area situated on the Colorado River where the river water is just cool enough to take the sting out the 100+ degree temperatures. Plenty of boating, jet skiing, swimming, or lounging around on floatation devices to be had on the river throughout the site. Site has a small convenience store for ice runs and everyday supplies. Echo Lodge also offers a bar/restaurant in the kiddie pool/wade pool compound on site. Had a great time all around and met some very good people while there. Some of the permanent residents allowed our kids to use their lily pad which was a pleasant surprise to all of us. Just good vibes and good times. Hope to visit here again soon.

  Crossroads Campground

  Wind & Water

  We've been to this campground twice, tent camping, and love the river access. Both times it got very windy, which made certain activities like cooking difficult. Went in summer to try and avoid people - 2 years ago before the Coronapocalypse, we had the place to ourselves, but in 2021 there were a couple more campers and also a few driving in and out, using as a day use area since most of the actual day use areas were full. There were also burros who came down to the river. They didn't mess with us, though one pregnant looking one stared at us a long time. I don't know if she was expecting to be fed maybe? The toilet is fine though we brought TP to be sure we'd have some. Pay attention to the reservations on the posts. Bring sunscreen and shade with stuff to windproof it. Stay up late and turn off your lights to enjoy the stargazing.

  Davis Camp Park - Mohave County

  Anything and everything

  This camp ground has so much it’s a little village in its own. Who doesn’t love camping and walking straight out to the River at your feet? Literally tent camping is allowed that close. Forgot your ice? They sale that on site as well. They have dump stations for your RVs and fresh water source to Fill up. They have covered tables and bbq grills as well. You can rent cabins that they have available but they are always booked up so if that’s what your after make sure to book in advance. Even if your not camping and you just want to go in it’s ten dollars no matter just so you know. Summer time this place is lines miles long so get there a day early before the weekend starts to save you a little wait. This place you can get to by boat, drive, and even walking. They do have clean bathrooms and it’s Well kept. Keep your food in containers because they have skunks and raccoons.. I know crazy.. little fact the entire Laughlin area has them near the water and hotels because they want a quick meal. AnywAy have proper storage because you may wake up to nothing... really nice place on the water!

  Crossroads

  Crossroads BLM California , May, 2019

  First, you get what you pay for, this tent site was 5.00 per night! The location is great, right on the Colorado River. We made reservations ahead of time using reservation.gov. We knew there were no amenities but were ok with it.

  I use a rating scale based on amenities, location, cell service, cleanliness and campsite.

  There is no running water available at the site, only one vault toilet, obviously no showers.

  The campsite itself was great, nice shady spot with a grill, picnic table and did I mention right on the water.

  Cell service was spotty, usually one bar with AT&T.

  There are wild burros that roam the area and we were quite surprised that they walked through our campsite down to the water.

  We stayed on a Friday night and there were people riding motorcycles or ATVs through the park chasing the burros, making a lot of noise. Also people on the river all through the night making lots of noise.

  We rented kayaks in Parker AZ, Parker watercraft and it was great, we loved every minute.

  While there we also made the quick trip to Lake Havasu city to see the London Bridge.

  Cattail Cove State Park Campground

  Amazing Red Rock Hiking Lakefront Camping

  Cattail cove was another Havasu Campground my family frequented from 1984 to 2000 It has awesome memories of hiking along the red rocks and lake, following wild Ram through the mountainsides and finding great cliff-jumping spots into the refreshing waters in summer heats. It DOES get very hot here in the summer, so be prepared. I have been during a record 132-degree days. You stay in the water and dont get out under some shade!

  Excellent swimming areas. Good docks for your boats- but make sure you have some good bouis so you dont get any damage. The restaurant / bar used to be really good. In 2012 we visited it and it was not great... but we didnt get sick. Functional store. Gas available for your boat or vehicle. Clean nice bathrooms. OK Campgrounds... clean, more-so meant for motorhomes however some pretty good tent sites in the valley area.
  At night bring out your black light and look for scorpions. You'd never even know they were there if you were enjoying the night sky on the jetty. Awesome wildlife and nature. While wild burros / donkeys are more predominant on the California side of the lake you'd still be likely to see some. Skunks. Bats. Owls. Hawks. Rams, snakes (rattlers, king snakes, gophers and more though the campground maintenance is pretty good about keeping it safe). Great large mouth bass fishing, catfish and other species, crawdads, and other fun finds. I used to enjoy skin diving near the cliffs there and in coves.

  Silver View RV Resort

  New owners and New dog park

  My pictures do not justice for this little Gem....When you first drive in you will see a restaurant and a mini grocery store. This resort caters to all stays whether it's one night, one week, monthly, or all year long. What place offers free room service to your RV?? they do! They have breakfasts,  good looking deli Sandwiches, Burgers, and a lot of other stuff that is homemade, mind you this is new owners and they run it as a family so homemade cooking OMG!  they are on top of a  hill that has amazing views and I also saw a bunch of sites being constructed so I believe they are making this resort much bigger because I saw maybe 100 more sites being set up so don't worry they have places available.  They have lots of events to so check out their calendars...... they offer and free donuts on Saturdays... um, count me in... Year-Round Heated Pool that never closes and a hot tub which is also open, also a clean exercise Room and if you like to play horseshoes they have that too. super neat place for all ages, this place has it all, and don't overpack just buy your food there...or bring stuff to BBQ and use the clean Barbecues they offer. Need to wash your clothes well no worries they have a laundry room and clean showers and bathrooms oh and a mailbox if you are staying awhile. lots of shade and fruit trees to enjoy when in season. They have huge RV pull-thrus spaces and also offer  full Hook-Ups(w/s/e) 30/50 amp Electric Service, and cable, another neat thing is they have actually tent sites, not raggedy spots to where everyone is driving past you but a nice place that anyone would like to enjoy a tent spot. a super neat dog park too I can't get over how cool it was. anyway cheers. This place is a WINNER I would give it 100 stars if I could.

  Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area

  Little gem for sure

  if your not familiar with Laughlin it is super hot we came in October and it was still hot as can be, not as bad as the summertime and for sure not as crowded, we came on a weekday so I do recommend coming during the week. The water is still refreshing because it's still hot as heck out there…..Ok on to the good stuff, so the beach area is amazing. honestly, it's super neat and crystal clear river water and sandy beaches. The best part of this site for sure!!!!!  the campsites are super clean, and not on the beach area in case you were wondering you can walk or drive… ok so the campgrounds have desert landscape and NO trees between spaces, clean bathrooms and showers oh and the showers cost quarters so make sure you bring them.. anyway besides desert landscaping the spaces are pretty spaced out but still NO trees, also you're super close to a major street in Laughlin so not really impressed by that, the only spot that was left was right by that and you hear cars for a good amount of our stay.

  if you have the NV state park pass be prepared to pay 10 dollars additional without an RV it's one of the few places I have noticed that make you pay even if you are tent camping, so make sure you put that in your budget!! 

  So the grounds are dirt roads but the parking places are paved and they do have tables and awnings for each spot. some are pull through as well and like I said full hooks up and they do have a dump station right when you pull in so it's convenient for before and after dumping needs…

  like I said it's hot even in October and November but it's not busy at all on the beach. Cool little gem because of the beach for sure!! Also just for extras.. raccoons, and skunks roam these areas at night so have your food and vehicles secured

  cheers!

  Enjoy Lake Havasu

  Enjoy Lake Havasu by being right on the lakeside. What better way to beat the dry, Arizona desert heat. We tented the weekend we camped. We also had hammocks to lounge in during the day when not in/on the water. Nice facilities and an easy way to enjoy Lake Havasu affordably.

  Lake Havasu State Park Campground

  Hammock friendly & right on the water

  The staff were amazing! Incredibly friendly & filled with information. Although there are few trees around they were hammock friendly for those of us that prefer hammocks over tents. It was extremely hot but that is Arizona in summer so it's a huge beni that the campsites are right on the lake yet still close enough to go get food or coffee or anything else we may have wanted from town. Would definitely recommend Lake Havasu State Park for camping!

  Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area

  Quick Vegas Getaway

  Facilities are clean and spots are plentiful May-September due to the extreme heat. All sites are pull through RV sites that easily accommodate 2-3 tents (4man). Rumors have it they are clearing sites to create a tent only section but it will not be ready until fall 2020.

  Until then expect to pay the $20/night + $10 utility hookup.
