Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Winterhaven, CA

We stayed at SunRidge RV Resort in Yuma, AZ and really enjoyed the community. Very friendly and helpful staff. The park is spacious and clean and sites are large. All sites are FHU and back-in. They are gravel and have concrete patios. The park has a nice swimming pool, hot tub, dog park, bocce ball, pickle ball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, game room, pool tables, laundry, restrooms, mail room, community room, and more! It has it all, is close to everything in Yuma and the Mexico border, and the people here are awesome! Check it out if you’re in the Yuma area! 👍🏻😉

This is a nice RV resort. It has heated pool during the winter and hot tub is always hot, and also open 24 hrs. Great laundry 1.75 for wash and dry, need a card. Unfortunately close to airport. Military jets take off and landing. Very noisy, but just for a short amount of time. It starts at around 8:30 in the morning and ends around 10:00 pm at night. They do not run all day long. Just a few planes take off and land. I like that it is close to Walmart, plus the RV park will take your shopping cart back for you, just leave your cart in front of your site, and then it’s gone. Great dog park. Nice running track next to RV park. RV’s are close during peak season. We are here late in season so we are practically the only camper here. Great staff and they even bring your mail to you. No extra charge. You can do Amazon and UPS. Those drivers will bring it to your site rather than drop off at the office.

Paved roads to the spaces which have full hook-ups. Pull through spaces for temporary stays. Military discount year round. Small swimming pool. Different activities each day of the week. Grocery store is in Wellton AZ 10 miles away. Staff and guests are fantastic. This is a 55+ age requirement RV park. Pets are allowed. BLM land borders property so guests bring their ATVs.

Really nice camping spot. Easy access to Lake for fishing. Dumpster in area. Shopping 20 mins away. Very good fishing for Trout and Cat.

We stayed here for one night on our trip and had a lovely stay. Definitely geared more towards people with bigger rigs, and a lot of the residents were long-term. Great laundry and bathrooms/showers. They also organize multiple community gatherings such as potlucks, discussion groups, organized golf and other activities. They also have a pool, which we sadly didn’t have time to enjoy. This RV park is located very close to several golf courses, which my fiancée greatly appreciated. Pet friendly as well. One thing I will say is that there is only one store in town (Del Sol) that sells propane (for stoves) so buying it before arriving is a good idea, as they were sold out when I tried to purchase some. Great nightly rates and close to the highway.

My brother drove out from upstate NY to camp with me. We camped in several BLM dispersed camping areas in AZ and this was one of our favorites.  We were lucky to get a spot right on the river. The dirt roads getting back there were a bit rough especially for my brother whose van and trailer were low to the ground, but it was worth it. (We drove around 5mph towing our trailers so it took forever.)

There were other campers around us because we were on the river but it wasn't bad.  There was only a fifth wheel directly behind us on the river spaced much farther away than if we'd been in a paid park.  Across the road a delightful woman was camping with her converted cargo trailer and pet pig.  There were some other campers not too far away but you couldn't see them.  We had glorious sunsets each night. We were there in January 2021 and the weather was nice in my opinion; a bit chilly at night. We stayed at least 10 days a really enjoyed it.

The only negative was that around 5 or 6 pm most evenings very loud military planes flew over. It was a bit startling the first time, but we got used to it. We unhitched so could drive to Blythe CA for groceries (there's not much available in Quartzsite AZ.)

I'll definitely be going back to this campground.

Quiet little spot though plenty of people there. Friendly dogs, people said gets busy on the weekends. Quiet dusty/sandy. Would return!

Urban - easy place to stop for a night if you need to shop at Lowe’s . Small stalls but if long term empty in back ask for that area if you are towing a trailer. Laundry, pool, dog area, pool tables, pickle ball. Full hookups and outside sitting area with fireplace. Great friendly folks - many Canadians.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Park is fairly clean a couple of campers have what looks like a bunch of junk. Most are clean. Great access to of of Yuma area. For the money we are spending three months and are happy. Good base camp. There’s a very large sandy area next to camp ground to walk our dogs they love going to.

It state trust land. You need a permit, which is available online and I believe the image of the receipt on your phone or laptop would suffice. Should anyone check, which I have never seen. This is at least my second stay here. Nothing exciting but it is right off of I eight, which is not audible right now over the noise from apparently someone's generator. Haven't heard any yapping dogs or idiot kids running around with a parents bearing their asses off but this is my kind of place.

I camped here for a few weeks in January. It is beautiful and quiet even though I had quite a few neighbors. I found being by the lake brought more mosquitos so I camped on the raised portion just south of the lake. There are lots of birds! Also a few trails around the area through rocky hills. I thoroughly enjoyed my time staying here, and it was just a few minutes from town. It is just far enough outside of town to not have cell service. There are well maintained facilities. My dog loved getting to swim everyday! Overall i cant reccomend this place enough. I loved it and the convinience of it.

We stayed here for a week and had a blast. We had a little trouble getting there and ended up taking a very strange road in, which wasn’t helped by the fact that we arrived around sundown, but as long as it’s not muddy there’s no problem. The road in seems like you’re about to arrive on someone’s farm, but just follow the directions either on the maps or from the website and you’ll be fine. We got a perfect site right by the lake across from the bathroom (port-a-potty). Everyone who stays there was super friendly and nice, and many of them had dogs which was a plus. There is a private landing strip very close by, and one of the nights there was a plane flying around over the lake way too late, but that comes with the territory. Bring bug spray

Sunset Palm RV Park is a very nice, clean, and friendly RV park in Yuma, Arizona. The spaces are oversized and have parking for 2 vehicles! All sites are gravel and have a concrete patio and walkway. They are all 30/50 amp FHU back-in sites. The roads in the park are wide and newly paved which makes parking a snap! This is an age qualified park (55+), and life here is very laid back. The dog run is huge and very clean!!! This park does not have a swimming pool, but shares the pool with it’s sister park next door, which is just a quick walk. This park is convenient to everything Yuma has to offer, including the Mexico border. We really enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely recommend Sunset Palm RV Park. 👍🏻💗

We went to Carefree with a group of friends and it was a nice, clean park with several amenities. Unfortunately we had a brand new site that had never been used. The dirt/gravel we had to drive through to get onto the pad was so soft we had to use 4wd to get over the curb and through it. All the electrical boxes and light posts on that street are located close to the curb to boot, so there are obstacles trying to park from the skinny street. We liked our site once we were in, but it was tricky to get in, and we had to back out and go over the patio a bit to get out because our tail swing would have hit the electical box. Not a good design. The other issue I had with the park was at least 20 pages of rules for a one week stay. They needed copies of our drivers licenses, dog records and signatures from both of us. Maybe thats normal, but we have never run accross that before. The last issue was they require a laundry card for their machines. You purchase it from a machine in the laundryroom. Unfortunately it was broken and they dont have spares in the office that you can buy, so I had to drive a few miles to do my laundry off site. I lost my five dollars as well and they wouldnt reimburse me...said I had to call the number on the machine and be prepared to hold a long time. Not very good customer service...they should have refunded me and had the company pay them. Overall, I think its a nice park, a newer park and the sites are nice and big, our experience just wasnt the best. There is lots to see and do in the area, and we enjoyed our time there.

I stopped here for one night after driving from California. this is a cool place to Boondock. I was right on the pond and had no problems with anybody else. the bugs were not too bad. the sunrise was amazing. there are no facilities here. make sure you use the restroom before you come and bring what you need. it is also likely that you will not be able to have a fire.

we adventured out to mittry lake in Arizona and boy was it beautiful. we brought our paddle boards to use on the lake and it was peaceful. not too many people were camping but during the day it was loud with people driving by with their boats. at night... the mosquitos came out and ate us alive. being from southern california, we haven't experienced mosquitos in a very long time. so make sure to be prepared.

$22/night, full hook up, pool, spa, 1 family bathroom (clean) laundry, we went into Yuma for this. Daisy is a lovely front woman. Not luxurious but great location to explore Yuma.

The first night they put us tent camping in an rv spot which was great. In the morning they said we had to pack up because somebody needed the spot. We moved to their "tent" section which was actually the walk way to the hot tub. Middle of the night drunk people walked right by our tent being super loud and woke us up. Can't blame them since the park had us put our tent in the walkway. Don't stay here!

Very friendly transient and seasonal Rvers. Love the trees in this desert area. Close to Yuma and Los Algodones.

We have stayed here a number of times. Nice level pads, pool, rec room. Only 7 minutes to Los Algadonas, Mexico where we get dental work.
