Wonderful spot

We arrived late afternoon and were hoping for a quiet place to stay for one night. The host was very friendly and showed us the beautiful campground next to the river. Lots of RVs and tents; mostly visitors for fishing over the weekend. Fireplaces at every campsite. 50% off with the annual national park card. Great spot, definitely a recommendation!

Great BLM camp on river.

Nice BLM CG on Colorado River. Colo and AZ state line seems to bisect this area. CG has tables, fire rings vault toilets, dumpster, but NO water or RV dump. $15/$7.50 senior. 14d limit.

Dry camping

This is a dry camp, but fee based. $15.00 per vehicle, per night. Or half price with a federal park pass.

Plan on bringing water and the nearest dump area is Blythe, CA.

Close to Cibola Wildlife refuge.

Beautiful and quiet, family area.

Hosts are excellent and keep very clean bathrooms.
