Mayflower Park

Colorado River access makes Mayflower Park a hub for water-based recreation, with fishing, kayaking, and swimming drawing visitors to this Riverside County campground. The park sits alongside the river with separate areas for RV and tent camping, accommodating rigs up to 40 feet with full hookups available.

Campers consistently note the clean facilities and well-maintained grounds. The restrooms and showers receive regular praise from visitors, while the grassy campsites provide level parking areas. Day-use picnic spots sit between the camping areas and river access, though this arrangement can create some overlap during busy periods. David P. observed that "there are day use picnic spots between the campsites and the river which was unique."

The dry camping sites position closest to the water, while RV sites with utilities occupy a separate section. Staff members receive frequent mentions for their helpful approach to check-in and park information. Wildlife viewing opportunities include sandhill cranes during morning hours and various bird species throughout the day.

Reservations help secure preferred sites, especially those with river proximity. The park operates year-round with rates ranging from $30-50 per night, and nearby Hidden Beaches River Resort, Inc. provides additional camping options less than a mile away.

Good Experience

Stayed the week before Thanksgiving/ mild weather. Mid week so not crowded. Reserved ahead in campground near next to the river. There are day use picnic spots between the campsites and the river which was unique. Since there was only one other camper in that section and and day users it was no problem. On a crowded weekend it could get weird. The views of the river and the mountains in the distance were so nice. Staff was super friendly on the way in. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Campsite parking is on grass. Watch out for the little stumps/poles separating campsites. They blend in with the grass at certain times. Nice variety of birds. Only stayed one night, but good time.

Not well kept, but undergoing some construction

This is a decent little county park. I have a glimpse of the lower Colorado River. I paid for a premium site with an $8 junk fee to reserve it myself online. It’s nothing to write home about. A very typical river rat campground.

Right on the River

A lovely county campground and picnic area on the Colorado. Dry sites are closest to the water. Super clear restrooms and showers. Dry sites have picnic tables, BBQ grills, but no fire pit. Lots of green grass. Large open grassy area with day picnic sites. RV sites are separated from dry sites. Friendly staff. Note: Close by (1/4 mile?) Hidden River RV Park has a convenience store. Also note: Hidden River is more of an ATV/motor boat/beer drinking environment. Not my thing.
