"Buckskin is another favorite if you don’t mind the heat but want to be within walking distance to the water. The river is extremely busy during the summer months."
"Your steps away from the cool river, if you wanted to sit in the water. Lots and lots of boats up and down the river."
$30 - $40 / night
"Great way to afford enjoying Lake Havasu. Note this is an Arizona State Park so daily vehicle rates do apply if just visiting and/or camping."
"After driving through Havasu City this was a welcome oasis from the traffic and strip malls. The campground is on a slope so bring your leveling skills."
$30 / night
"Due to its location, it is pretty quiet."
"Not many camping spots but close to water and clean restroom with hot showers. Boat launch, lots of RV parking dog friendly with a dog park."
$5 / night
"Very nice spot on the California side of the Colorado river. No hookups, but nice tables & gravel lots. If you have your lifetime passport for American parks it’s only 2.50 a night!"
"25 sites (many bordering the River), many with Salt Cedar trees for shade, available for reservations online (recreation.gov). A few sites available on a first come, first served basis. 2 week limit."
"The entrance is relatively smooth. Any size rig can stay here.
Although there were several rv's here, it was very quiet. Good star gazing and close to town."
"Only minutes from Lake Havasu City. Lots of room to find a semi level spot. You can park far enough off the highway no highway noise. Lots of big rigs. No issue for 40’ pusher and 24’ car hauler"
$35 - $119 / night
"We love it when parks have a plan for traveling campers like us who hate making reservations, and Lake Havasu came through in spades."
"Much better views and you still have access to the park's amenities--showers, potable water, hiking trails, etc. Plus the vibe is more communal. "
"There are private RV parks on both sides of it that have restaurant/bars on the water that you can walk to which is a great feature. Great location."
"Although campsites are close together, there are many spots for friend groups to park near each other. Walking distance to the river. Walking distance to nearby bar/restaurant."
"A short walk from the Colorado River for all your water activities. The staff was helpful. There are some wild burros that stroll around at night and we found them dumping on our mat in the morning."
"Steps away from the falls. Beautiful campground with nice facilities for bathrooms."
"Just far enough away from the city and also close to Parker strip! Awesome pool and spa. Motel rooms, par 3 golf course, Marina, camp store and restaurant/bar!"
$1 - $15 / night
"Close to Walmart and casino."
"Stores nearby."
RangerDo not like. Lots of trash and loud traffic noise. A few level sites. Will not visit again
ScoutI love this location because it is secluded and not packed. There are only 2 spaces so you can be sure to have solitude. The wifi is AMAZING and its a great monthly rate.
ScoutReally easy spot to get into beautiful and empty. I don’t see anyone or hear anyone at all where I’m at plenty of space for a lot of people.
ScoutHuge location. Plenty of room. Nice and quiet
GuideThere is a lot of trash, and it has been here for some time. The trash attracts bugs, so the fly situation is higher than some other places we have been.
You DO need to go a ways in.. like a mile or two to get a decent spot, though the road isn't all that bad, so it's just cruising along until you find the one.
Our experience was mostly peaceful, some dude had a generator running most of the night down the hill, but it was far enough away to not be a big deal.
Cool spot to fly the drone, caves and weird stuff left behind by previous campers.
Light winds, a little rain.
GuidePlenty of space. Just three of us here tonight.
Sites are just off the road, but the road is very quiet once sun set.
Fantastic views and a nice breeze.
GuideWe arrived early in the afternoon. We stopped at Alamo Lake State Park to fill our water and have a shower before heading the 20 minutes or so to the dispersed camping area. The dirt road in, is in good condition. There are a lot of choices when it comes to places to camp. We first chose a spot beside the lake and then the next night headed up to a ridge spot. The sunsets are beautiful and there are burros kicking around and yelling at each other. Nice Place.
GuideI absolutely love camping here. There's not a lot of light pollution so you can get great stars and moon pictures. Right near the I 40 if you want a quick stay passing through and want a quick stop in Lake Havasu City.
Guide6 months of boondocking and Plomosa Rd is our favorite. Lots of area to camp for any size rig. Everyone is well spaced out. The town of Bouse is at one end Quartzite at the other. We stayed 1/2 way between on this 23 mile road. Endless bike riding trails and very little traffic on Plomosa so riding on it works too. The little quiet town of Bouse has a Produce Stand 2 days a week for excellent fresh produce, small grocery store, and free town refuse area. You’ll have to dump in Quartzsite or 30 minutes away in Parker which has all the big stores as well. Exploring the desert and rockhounding thru old mines is perfect from this road.
