The Best Camping Near Needles, California

This is a small campground located right next to the Colorado River. This site has a motel, RV and what looks like tent sites. Looks clean and has views of the docks right on the water

Small, but cozy and right on the Colorado River

Nice stop! Space 18 in North Shore, very enjoyable. Just come prepared there is no grocery store for 30 miles. Get gas before you get to Needles or you will pay a lot more. On the river, great beach to walk on. We avoided all the bad winter weather. Would definitely go back.

We enjoyed our stay, it was peaceful, the resort put on a fabulous Thanksgiving feast. Dogs had room to run and enjoy. Laundry facilities clean and everything worked great. The staff was wonderful , loved Tiffany!

full hookups and access to the water so you can boat in if needed and boat out. a little run down and could be updated at some spots, new paint needed, and more signage this place gets confusing to if your in the right spot.  but honestly a neat little river property for sure. lock your doors when you leave just to make sure your stuff is safe. the boat ramp is included as well. if you have a boat check water levels for when you come.

little river resort and motel

We stayed here one night on our way home. The lady at the desk was helpful and funny she made the day brighter. We had a communication problem with the wife and our spot she found the spot number in the next rv park which is managed by the same office. Once I realized what happen went and spoke with the lady at the desk. She said not to worry and no one would be coming so we were good and didn’t have to move. Great views of the Colorado river right next to it. They offer a dog beach for the puppy which he loved. Military discount

Nice for overnight

The sites are kinda tight but well worth it if you can get a river view!  Dog friendly with a nice dog beach. Staff is wonderful and accommodating. Laundry facilities are good. It’s an older park but a great stop. Stock up on your groceries before you get to Needles California as there are no grocery stores, I would also suggest getting your fuel across the river in Arizona as the fuel prices here are beyond outrageous!
