      Willow Beach Campground and RV Park

      Great space

      As we descended toward the river with our Scamp in tow, the thermostat rose. 87°, 92°, 96°, 98° oh boy! We pulled into our site, filled with beautiful rigs and large air conditioners, lol. The facilities, store, docks, beach, nature were excellent. Optimistic it would cool down at night.. Long story short, it didn’t. Wouldn’t change a thing. It was an adventure I would do again in a heartbeat with my reconditioned, air conditioned 1964 Avion!

      Close to all the action

      Really a nice campground, nice big spots, tables and a fire pit as well as a laundry room and did I mention clean bathrooms!!! oleander trees space out each camp spot which give you all the privacy anyone could need. Perfect place to ride bikes and it’s a good walking distance to the pier with restaurant, grocery store, fishing and boat rentals. This is like a village in its own. Great area for sure and it’s the perfect time now before it’s to hot.

      Willow Beach Campground and RV Park

      River Beaches

      Great stretch of river that has several sections suitable for beach access. There’s a dock and boat launch area with beaches on both sides great for day camping but no overnight camping. We parked at a nearby parking lot and took our things down to the water and found a semi-shaded spot under a willow tree. The water was pretty cold but very clean and refreshing. The far side of the river is only accessible by hiking or kayaking across so the view was pretty much undisturbed. We saw a small group of big horn running across the hill side and down to the water for a drink. Very cool. As the day progressed the shade diminished so a canopy would have been very useful. We went in May and it was very full by the time we arrived at 11am. You can’t have open fires but charcoal or gas grills are fine. There are dumpsters but no running water or trash receptacles near so bring what you need and pack out what you bring.

      Willow Beach Campground and RV Park

      Great get away.

      Stayed in site C3. A very clean and well maintained campground. Visited in December and spent 3 night. Full hook ups for all drive thru and back in camp sites. There are tent sites also and everything is well maintained. There are tables and fire pits  at all sites and lantern pole in all tent sites. Very quiet, within walking distance to Lake Mead, but all up hill on the way back. Great scenery, and a lot of recreational things at the marina.  Boat, kayak, paddleboard rentals are available. Fishing dock close by. Can even visit the fish hatchery up river, which is a short walk. Store with about everything you need and a small restaurant. Campground has showers and laundry. They take passes and the price is going up next season. But still a good deal especially with a pass. Reservations thru the Campground website. No cell service, but internet is available. Will be going back.

      Riverside Adventure Trails RV Resort

      An oasis in the heat!

      Arrived late on a Sunday and met by a lovely security guard who showed us to a pitch. The pool was an absolute lifesaver in the August heat! Friendly locals (we needed a tin opener!) and several chatted to us in the pool and social room. Site is clean, toilets and shower block spacious and tidy. Book exchange and games/jigsaws. Would highly recommend.

      Willow Beach Campground and RV Park

      Willow beach

      This campground is more for RV. There is also space for tents. This is an ok campground in my opinion with showers and running water. The price is on the low side of 20 dollars

      Davis Camp Park - Mohave County

      Anything and everything

      This camp ground has so much it’s a little village in its own. Who doesn’t love camping and walking straight out to the River at your feet? Literally tent camping is allowed that close. Forgot your ice? They sale that on site as well. They have dump stations for your RVs and fresh water source to Fill up. They have covered tables and bbq grills as well. You can rent cabins that they have available but they are always booked up so if that’s what your after make sure to book in advance. Even if your not camping and you just want to go in it’s ten dollars no matter just so you know. Summer time this place is lines miles long so get there a day early before the weekend starts to save you a little wait. This place you can get to by boat, drive, and even walking. They do have clean bathrooms and it’s Well kept. Keep your food in containers because they have skunks and raccoons.. I know crazy.. little fact the entire Laughlin area has them near the water and hotels because they want a quick meal. AnywAy have proper storage because you may wake up to nothing... really nice place on the water!

    Guide to Nipton

    Glamping opportunities near Nipton, California provide options for upscale outdoor accommodations with varying levels of amenities. The region sits at the convergence of the Mojave Desert and Colorado River valley with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F from June through September. Winter months bring milder daytime temperatures in the 60-75°F range, creating more comfortable conditions for outdoor activities.

    What to do

    River activities year-round: At Davis Camp Park, water recreation dominates visitor experiences across seasons. "Loved being able to set up our Napier Sportz tent with our Subaru at the river's edge on the Colorado River just outside of Bullhead City, Az. (across from Laughlin, NV). So clear! Lots of families with jet skis, which we found entertaining although noisy," notes Claudia B.

    Desert hiking opportunities: Winter and spring visitors to Katherine Landing South Campground can access nearby trail systems when temperatures moderate. "It was beautiful, not like it was 30 years ago lol. Looking forward to doing some dry camping and fishing for Xmas," shares Aj C., highlighting the winter appeal of the area.

    Casino entertainment access: Many visitors combine outdoor stays with visits to nearby Laughlin casinos. "It's neat if you take the water taxis across to the casinos and walk the boardwalk, there are so many bugs so be prepared," advises a reviewer from Colorado River Oasis RV Resort, suggesting bug protection for evening outings.

    What campers like

    Private waterfront locations: Arrowhead Cove offers secluded spots away from crowds. Charlie C. notes, "Total privacy at this hidden beach on Lake Mead... I can't stress that enough. Luckily for me, no signs of human life were detected during my two night stay." This contrasts with busier developed sites.

    Clean facilities: Bathrooms and amenities receive frequent positive mentions across properties. At Ridgeview RV Resort, Brittney C. appreciated the "Clean bathrooms, Spotless pool and spa, Stunning restaurant that offers brunch for $5 dollars on the weekends."

    Wildlife viewing: The region supports diverse desert and riparian wildlife. At Arrowhead Cove, a visitor observed, "The water fowl dive freely along the banks. There is a treasure trove of wildlife here apparent just from the birds singing. It was a cacophony of songbirds just before the sun went down over the mountains."

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, while winter brings comfortable days and cool nights. Kate B. at Riverside Adventure Trails RV Resort shared, "The pool was an absolute lifesaver in the August heat! Friendly locals (we needed a tin opener!) and several chatted to us in the pool and social room."

    Access challenges: Some dispersed sites require appropriate vehicles. At Arrowhead Cove, Lyle F. cautions, "There is a sign at the entrance of Mead-Davis Powerline Rd road that says 4x4 recommended... Take this to heart." Many yurt camping options near Nipton require advanced reservations.

    Crowding patterns: Weekends and holidays see significantly increased visitor numbers. "Davis camp has gotten very populated over the years and gets really crowded, really quickly. If you want a nice spot, better get there early," warns Shalynn S.

    Tips for camping with families

    Activity options: Properties with multiple recreation options work best for families with children. Lane H. observed at Davis Camp Park, "The kids love the open areas to run and play in though there are not great playgrounds. The sites are mostly level but could use some maintaining."

    Safety considerations: Select developed campgrounds for family stays with children. Parents note that established campgrounds provide secure environments despite proximity to urban areas. Lisa G. explains, "Based on the street we were on, Bullhead City was a very sketchy place though and did not feel very safe. The campsite itself felt safe though."

    Noise awareness: Motor boats and watercraft create ambient noise at waterfront sites. Claudia B. mentioned Davis Camp Park was "Lots of families with jet skis, which we found entertaining although noisy," suggesting families should consider noise tolerance when selecting sites.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection strategy: At Katherine Landing, an experienced RVer advises, "My trailer is a 31 ft tt somewhat windy but trees break up the wind. 24 a night, 12 with senior access. Decent size sites, clean bathroom showers."

    Hook-up specifics: Most developed RV sites in the region offer full hookups with 50-amp service. Scott W. at Davis Camp Park shared, "We are new to RVing and recently purchased a 2018 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV and wanted to take it some where close, so Davis Camp it was! Staff was great, neighbors were great, and the trip was very enjoyable! RV had no issues!"

    Supplies access: Proximity to urban services provides convenient restocking options. Lisa G. notes, "Close to the city- so we unhooked the RV and for gas and picked up a few items. They have a Walmart, Sams Club and Home Depot within two miles away," making yurt camping near Nipton, California convenient for resupply needs.
