Each fall, winter, and spring seasonal visitors come to the Blue Cloud Camping Area located off of California State Highway 62 near Big River, California. Blue Cloud Camping Area is a primitive camping area and serves as an overflow area to the heavily used Colorado River Resorts. Camping at the site is restricted to 14 days within a 28 day period, however visitors keep coming back and are attracted to the area because of its close (but not too close) proximity to the town of Parker, AZ as well as its breathtaking views of the Whipple Mountains Wilderness area.

ScoutNot much to see 🌵
Not much to see here, but it’s fairly clean and pretty quiet. Nice place to spend a couple days. And very close to stores in Parker AZ.
TravelerSimple and quiet
Lots of sites for rvs and tents, usually quite a few folks out there but it is quiet. There are rock fire rings and if you go a bit further down the road there are secluded sites. Would not attempt to get to those sites with a car though. Not too far from Parker AZ and Lake Havasu.
