Boating, fishing, and river access draw campers to Fenders River Road Resort, which sits directly on the Colorado River in Needles, California. The resort includes a boat ramp and gives campers the option to arrive by water as well as by road. Sites run the full hookup range, with electric, water, and sewer connections available for RVs up to 50 feet, plus WiFi and a dump station on the property.
River-view sites are the ones to request. Sites are on the tighter side, but reviewers consistently note that a spot facing the water makes the trade-off worthwhile. There's a dog beach along the river, and the beach itself is walkable, as Kristie G. puts it: "On the river, great beach to walk on." The resort is older and shows some wear, with a few areas that could use maintenance and better signage, but the staff has drawn repeated positive mentions for being accommodating and helpful. The property also appears to manage the adjacent Northshore RV Resort from the same office.
Supply planning matters here. There are no grocery stores in the immediate area, and fuel prices in Needles run high, so stocking up and filling the tank before arriving saves money and hassle. Campers with boats should check river water levels before the trip. Those exploring campsites near Needles will find this one well-suited to RV travelers and boaters who want direct Colorado River access with full hookups.
Description
This little funky 1960’s-era resort is minutes off of interstate I-40. It’s a perfect place to get away and relax in your very own comfortable room, or your own RV space with full hookups or you can even pitch a tent right down by the Colorado River.
Families and groups of all ages are welcome to enjoy our picnic area under shade trees, charcoal grills, a fire pit and a blanket of stars at night all year ‘round.
A perfect location for snowbirds with warm winters and ideal for families to have fun in the sun and in the water all summer long.
You can enjoy the river with fishing, boating, wave running, swimming or just sitting out on one of our decks right over the river taking in the picturesque view of the famous Needles mountains and listening to the currents of the mighty Colorado River rush by. We live on ‘river time’… so remember to stop, relax and put your feet in the water! Pet friendly – so don’t forget to bring your favorite companion.
