River Lodge Resort

River Lodge Resort sits directly on the Colorado River about 3 miles below Parker Dam, accessible by both road and boat. The Bureau of Land Management facility operates year-round with full hookups for RVs up to 60 feet, though one recent visitor noted the campground shows signs of wear with cramped sites, minimal gravel, and deteriorating picnic tables. Cell service does not reach the area, and WiFi is not available despite the resort listing it as an amenity.

The property includes a riverfront walking area for pets and offers tiny home sales along the shoreline, which reduces available camping space over time. Mountain views extend across the river from the sites. For campers seeking alternatives with better maintenance, River Island State Park Campground provides another Colorado River option nearby.

Nice Tiny Home

I stayed over the summer in a Tiny home that is waterfront. The home was clean and cool and decorated rock and roll style, which was tastefully done. The A/C kept the home nice and cool. A ceiling fan on the deck was also nice. The home came equipped with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the kids had fun using the arcade games and board games. It has a nice green front lawn where we played corn hole, etc. We fished and kayaked in the fresh water lagoon just steps from the house. We loved the bluetooth Victorla for our music needs (very cool). It has nice comfortable patio furniture just steps from the water. The home had Starlink and my phone service was perfect and I also could work online from there. It had a charcoal BBQ and Smoker which was really nice, bbq ribs delicious. We walked down to the private beach and dry anchored our rafts and water toys to float and ride. The views are gorgeous!!! I would highly recommend staying here. Very nice home that is peaceful, yet fun, that is surrounded by natural beauty.

Great scenery/ Run down campground

Large campground with many permanent squatters. Positioned directly on the Colorado R. about 3-4 miles below Parker Dam. This could be a nice campground with the mountain views over the river. But the rundown nature and lack of maintenance here is very noticable. This place is definitely past it's prime. There is no cell service so you must rely on wifi, of which, there is none. I asked at the office...nope, none. There is a nice area right on the river to walk your dog or whatever. Sites are cramped, and there is not much gravel. Worst picnic tables I have ever seen situated between the tight(!) spots. Tiny homes are available for sale along the shoreline, so camping spots are slowly being devoured.
