    Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources. Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska). Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.

        Alamo disperse camping on BLM

        Beautiful lake view and awesome sky at night! Only drawback are the UHVs flying around stirring up dust and taking away from the peace and quiet that should come with off grid camping in a federal wilderness area. Can’t fly a six inch drone because might disturb someone but you can fly around in a loud UHV! They are ruining the experience. They need a remote spot well away from camping sites and hiking areas.

        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).

        We only stay 3-4 nights per visit but everyone has always been great.  They are working on upgrading the wifi, as it is very slow now.  Just what we need when visiting the area.

        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.

        AZ State Land Recreational Area Dispersed Site

        Stellar Sunsets & Views

        This dispersed camping area which requires a ridiculously inexpensive online permit ($20 per year), was perfect for what we needed. Our closest neighbor was about ¼ mile away, and we had views and sunsets aplenty. There is access to the Lake Havasu, but only by OHV or on foot, we chose the latter. 

        The roads in from the highway are rough and rocky, but doable if you take it slow.  Once again our 67 year old vintage camper did great getting to our spot, though we recommend parking and walking the roads before committing to the drive in.

        There’s hiking opportunities right out your front door, and nothing but the highway or the lake to stop your progress. The nearby Cattail Cove State Park offers designated hiking trails through the rugged desert terrain. 

        Nothing in the way of services, so bring your own...but lots of space to be alone and private.  And, with sun, sun, sun, the California/ Arizona skies are great for solar gathering, so bring out all your panels. Starlink internet worked well too. 

        Lake Havasu city is about 15 minutes up the road, and there you can find everything you might need in terms of services and supplies. Check out the world famous London Bridge while you’re there, too!

        Got Camping Plans for Christmas?

        We stumbled onto this lovely state park campground on Christmas Eve, with no reservations (as usual) and found more than just a lovely campsite, but a whole community of campers. Each year this small park hosts a thriving Christmas potluck which is managed by their long term volunteer camp host couple. Many families plan their year around getting a reservation to be at this place on Christmas day!  We were simply blown away by the community, camaraderie, and fellowship we found here. 

        We even tried out our first run at making homemade tamales – turned out pretty good.

        Now the sites are what you might expect to see, slightly less than spacious lots with a bit of  elbow room in between your neighbors. All sites are electrical and water serviced, so no need to have generators running into the wee hours. With lots of well cared for cottonwood trees, the sites offer lots of shade and space to enjoy your area. 

        The bathrooms have flush toilets with warm showers, and while a little dated, they were clean and did the job.  Nice dishwashing sink (wish more parks had these!) and picnic tables all over the place.  I think we ate nearly every meal down by the water.

        The lake shore offers a good boat launch with a massive trailer parking area, and a small swimming area as well. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards from the park to enjoy the water, just be aware of the way the wind is blowing -- it can get fierce quickly! There is a beach volleyball court at the water's edge and hiking trails leave directly from the park and wind along the lakeshore and into the desert landscape. 

        Lake Havasu city is about 15 minutes up the road, and there you can find everything you might need in terms of services and supplies. Check out the world famous London Bridge while you’re there.

        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!

        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.
