The parking lot-style layout at T.K. Jones Campground puts RVs and vehicles close together, creating a community atmosphere that some campers embrace while others find too crowded. Sites consist of designated parking spaces on paved surfaces, with each camper receiving two spots—one for the rig and another for a tow vehicle or camp setup.
Direct access to Squaw Lake makes this BLM campground popular with boaters and paddlers. The lake connects to the Colorado River system, providing launch access for small boats, kayaks, and canoes. Several reviewers mention exploring by water to reach more secluded camping spots accessible only by paddling. Wildlife sightings are common, with Kathy B. noting "great bird watching," though campers should secure food from raccoons and wild burros.
Hot showers cost $1 for seven minutes and receive consistent praise for cleanliness. The campground operates year-round with drinking water, restrooms, and a dump station. Cell service can be spotty, particularly for T-Mobile users due to the location beneath the dam. An annual pass for $75 allows 14 days per month at this and other regional BLM sites. For those exploring the broader area, campgrounds around BLM Land — Yuma Field Office provide additional options across the desert region.
