The Best Camping Near Parker Dam, California

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.

100+ degrees and 100 % fun

Drove up from San Diego about 5hrs, was really easy to find. There are wild donkeys along the road leading to all the campgrounds so be careful when driving around that area. For our stay we stayed in a site right up against the sand and 20ft or so away from the water which was amazing! We had full hookups with no issues the entire time. There have been some negative reviews about staff, power outages and other stuff but I don’t agree. We had a great time and experience!! Take a canopy because there isn’t much shade aside from your awning. The only negatives were as follows:
1. We had zero cell service (ATT) and the sites don’t have wifi.
2. The extremely loud boats started racing up and down the river around 730 am so not ideal for those that like to sleep in but they were fun to watch.
3. It was extremely hot (for us) 110+ but staying in the cool clean river made it tolerable. 

Aside from that it was definitely a good experience and will return!
