      Our Favorite!!!

      Lake Alamo is one of our favorite spots!!! Great place for SxS riding. I've been riding here over 15yrs and always find new trails. Must visit the Wayside Oasis for Lunch and a beer on every visit.

      Great little state park

      This is a small park, but the stay has been great. It’s quiet, the staff is super friendly and I had the best shower here that I’ve had at any campground I’ve been to during my 7 weeks on the road.

      Ok Campground for a good price for a night

      Campground has good Level sites, Price is pretty cheap for this area (30 $ with hooks, 20 $ for dry on the boat parking lot). Restrooms could be better (the shower didn't allowed me to adjust the temperature, is was like liquid fire).

      Great stop over night

      It was a stop over for one night while returning home. The ladies at check in were very nice and welcoming. Long pull trough site allowed us to stay hooked up. The utilities were well placed. Sites offer fairly good privacy with hedges. This park is desert view as is in it's name, so don't expect to walk to the river. My navigation, didn't do a good job of finding it, so look for the signs they have placed on the roads. It is next to the KOA if that helps. I'd come here again.

      Lake Havasu State Park Campground

      Overflow Parking with a Beach View...Yes, Please!

      We love it when parks have a plan for traveling campers like us who hate making reservations, and Lake Havasu came through in spades. They have a whole section of their campground dedicated to folks like us. We pulled up, grabbed a space, and spent the night right by the lakeshore. 

      I’m afraid we didn’t take pictures of the parking area as we were so taken with the view! It’s a huge parking lot with dedicated camping spaces, with picnic tables, trash cans and plenty of space between your neighbors. The bathrooms offer flush toilets, sinks and warm showers. 

      The RV dump tanks were close by, as is the vast boat launch area. While the overnight area might be a little more spartan, the rest of the park is gorgeous with looping campsite areas, rentable cabins, and winding paths. 

      Yet, it’s still within the town limits, so everything you might need, or want, is a short walk, bike ride, or drive away. You can even catch the ferry to the casinos across the lake if you want to lose your spending money. 

      Hiking, biking and paddling opportunities could all be reached from the campsite. Each site along the beach had some trees for shade, but all the sunshine you could want for solar power as well.  We’ll keep this place in mind when we want a quick overnight with some shower access close to town.

      Very enjoyable!

      Never camped before in my life, so I have nothing to compare this to. Having said that- the staff were great, bathrooms very clean. The weather was quite warm, so we didn’t do much exploring. Also - the donkeys!! Everywhere!

      Friendly area with river access

      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. Very friendly and clean area!

      Alamo Lake State Park Campground

      Beautiful Lake

      A few things. 1st. If you plan on staying overnight with an RV do not reserve the Ramada sites. They’re meant for day use and are super tiny and squished together. We started there, but our 24ft trailer wasn’t even close to fitting. So we had to move.

      We moved to the sites with no water and no electric. Super awesome sites, very clean and very quiet.

      Donkeys…..there are tons of donkeys, really cool…..the first night. They’re cool until you realize they don’t sleep and all they do is make a lot of noise,lol. Not that I wouldn’t go back again because of the donkeys, but just be prepared they’re not far away and they make the “hee-haw” noise All Night Long, lol.

      Don’t camp here without water sports or Side by side. There aren’t any trails for bike riding or hiking. But the water is great to spend a couple of days on and the Side by side trails are endless.

      Overall, really nice camping. I would definitely go back, with or without a SxS. Just not in the summer….there’s no shade and it’s desert.

      River Island State Park Campground

      One of the Best State Parks We've Experienced

      We arrived with no issues, though our RV GPS wanted to take us to the main ranger station about 4 miles before the campground(CG). Waze took us right to the CG. We arrived 30 minutes after their 2:00 PM check-in time, and the little ranger station was closed, so we proceeded to water and electric(50/30/20 AMP) site 23 and had no problem backing into this site. The utilities are centered on the pad, which was nice, and the water pressure was about 40 psi. One of the first things we noticed about this CG was how clean it was when we saw camp hosts cleaning sites and manicuring the gravel around them. The sites here are decently spaced. Site 23 was long enough for our 40’ 5th wheel with space to park our F450 off to the side of the asphalt pad. There was also a jumbo-sized picnic table and a stand-up barbecue. The Verizon signal was iffy, sometimes getting 1 bar depending on where you are in the CG. They have Wifi at the ranger station, which was okay. There are shade trees here and there throughout the CG, but we had no problem getting a clear shot of the northern sky for Starlink. This state park has a nice-sized agility dog park in which they have grass and keep it watered. Suggest you arrive before 3:00 PM as the office closes early. Parker about 20 minutes away has your major amenities such as Walmart. Lake Havasu City has some tourist attractions worth checking out, such as the London Bridge. You cannot beat the mountain views, and we wished we’d stayed longer than just four days.

      Alamo Lake State Park Campground

      Not that great

      Pulled into our reserved spot only to see a 6ft x 6ft section roped off for a drip irrigation repair. It was really great to have this area roped off right where you would normally have the awning out and sit. Would have been nice to know this was being worked on when I booked so I could have looked for another spot. Otherwise it is a fine enough campground.

      Alamo State Park: Section D

      Alamo Lake is a long-time favorite spot. Only a couple hours West of PHX and some great views with an abundance of SxS / ATV trails. Alamo Lake is also very well known for it's fish (especially bass & crappie). Section C has Water & Electric. Section D is primitive and as such, less crowded. This is a great place Oct - April. Outside of those dates, you'll want Electric so you can run the A/C. Wi-Fi & cell service is questionable. Some spots are good, others are not. While I've done a lot of work out here, try to stay off the devices, PCs and TVs. Enjoy what's out here!!

      Nice State Campground on the Colorado River

      Very clean and well maintained state park on the river. Our site backed up to the river and was close to the bathroom and showers. Only downside, for me, was no T-Mobile cell service or WiFi. Had to walk to the office to get WiFi.

      Quiet and beautiful sunsets

      We made a reservation a couple days before arrival and got a spot on the water. We noticed a big red ant hill and they gave us a few other spots to pick on the water. So we moved the next day. People really nice. Yes bathrooms are old but they serve the purpose and were clean. Enjoyed our stay.

      Alamo Lake State Park Campground

      It was ok

      Truth be told I prefer camping at elevation with pine trees etc. It is winter in AZ so that was not an option for this trip. Our friends found this place and booked the sites. We were in the Ramada section. It has electric but no water at the sites. There are about 10 total sites in this section with a bathroom (clean). Our site was not level from to back so we had to lower the camper to about 3 in off the ground in the front. There was a tree which was nice but it also meant I had to park far from the power for the site. The cord reached with just a little slack in it. Ramada section is in the Maintenance area or the campground so I got to see a shed, tractors and Diesel tanks from my door. The lake was about 3/4 mile from our site. The camp rangers were very nice. The campground was clean and the general store was good too. Overall not my vibe for camping.

      Snowbirding Rocks

      We arrived after park hosting in Oregon for 4 months. Blue sky, sift breeze and 72 degrees greeted us. Carla at the desk is awesome. We had to reschedule our visit due to mechanical issues. She was very helpful. Mountains to the NE of us. They have a pool, cleaned regularly but not heated. I’m too much of a wimp for polar plunges. But my wife Sherri says she’ll go it later.

      Pool looks nice

      The pool looks nice but it’s been too cold to check it out. I am not used to the desert so it’s hard for me to like this area. However the sites are flat and gravel and there is a decent laundry room. The bath house is dated but serviceable. For some reason my spot didn’t have a picnic table but it’s too windy to use anyways.
