    Kofa National Wildlife Refuge - Crystal Hill Free Campsites

    Crystal hill rock hounding

    Crystal Hill-Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.

    Free remote dispersed camping. South of Quartzite along hwy 95.

    NEVERMIND the BLM no camping sign at the hwy turnoff, go 3.1 mi to Kofa Refuge boundary and then to the 5.7 mi point and you reach Crystal Hill. There is a loop with about several back in remote style campsites. No signs, no toilets, no water, no trash, no tables, no fire rings. However cell seems good. 14d camping limit. The road in is washboard rocky gravel. Also more camping spots between the Kofa boundary and Crystal Hill.

    Important note! The turnoff from hwy 95 is between mp 96 and mp 95. As of Nov 2024 there is a significant dip leaving the hwy that may be problematic for trailers or long RVs, causing you to drag the rear end or hitch... Recon first..

    Good one night stop

    This an excellent place for a stopover especially if you are heading south through the algodones border crossing. Although you can hear traffic it’s not intrusive. 5 minutes east of the 95 just north of the border patrol check point. It’s dispersed camping, flat, no shade. It has nice views of the surrounding mountains. The one thing to be on the lookout for is the tiny red cactus that is abundant.

    Great stop - Nice location on the river

    Stopped here for one night as we were passing through. The staff we met were MJ and Carrie, very nice and friendly who wanted to make sure we were taken care of. The sites were long enough to not unhitch and the utilities were placed well. It was a short walk to the river where we spent some time. Departed the next day.

    River Sands RV Resort

    A brand new desert oasis!*

    Huge resort with spacious spots and full hook up’s. Mostly flat with paved roads everywhere you will take your rv/camper on your visit. Close and easy access to Colorado River for swimming, boating, seadoos and off-leash dog walking/playing. Exceptional clubhouse with a gym and enough room to stretch out, remote work, or to catch a game with fam and friends on their big flat screen tv. Firepit and golf cart rentals plus smores kits and doggie bags with a bandana, dog toy and treats are also available. Super pet and kid friendly with play systems and a 2000sqft dog park. The store could use more ‘store’ items but there is a family dollar directly across the street.

    They also have tiny homes for rent and I think the longest rv spot is almost 72-80’ long.

    Clean bathhouse and laundry facilities. Free WiFi. So much to mention and I know I’m missing something but I hope i helped.

    Don’t forget to ask Lou if you can purchase the wakeboard in the office. And tell them you heard about the first flight discount for 20% off.

    *The resort is really big. About a half mile long or more. If you have trouble doing long walks or walking in general then renting a golf cart is highly recommended.

    Beautiful Views, Quiet Solitude

    Traveling down Black Mountain road for about 2miles of wash boards before turning down the camping road.

    All the sites were empty as it was almost 100degrees outside and nothing for shade of a creature larger than a bird could find. But here we found quiet solitude and a cooler evening, perhaps the winds helped.

    If you have furry friends keep a watch for their paws, there’s small cacti/pokeys scattered about.

    Lovely sunrise and sunset 360 views.

    Good Verizon service!

    Nothing like advertised

    We got here and after reading all the great reviews about having bathroom showers and a laundromat it has absolutely nothing only the laundromat. There are no picnic tables. There is no fire ring. After calling the person we spoke to back we were told we could not get her money back and try to find another site with a toilet and showers. So we are stuck here. Add an outrageous price for what there is.
