    Our quaint cozy Mini Motel is a space we are very proud of. It was created many many years ago to house the workers that were building Route 66. Historic charm is always a plus in my book. So we decided to perk it up a few notches and remodel it. Each room is equipped with its own vanity area, sink, bathroom with shower & tub, closet space and beds with 3″ gel memory foam for a comfortable nights sleep. If you need to heat something up there are microwaves in each room, as well as a desk area & chair, dresser, TV and blackout drapes. There really is nothing missing for you.! Also, in our Route 66 room we have a mini fridge. So if you might need a fridge, maybe for a longer stay, be sure to request the Route 66 room. My most favorite about each room is that you can actually be in bed and see the west rim of the Grand Wash.! Its a site you need to see for your self!

      Spent 4 days here last month and going back next week. Great place to stay during the off season when not crowded. There are 8 spaces with a river view but only have water and electric. Used the park showers to keep from filling our black tank. I do recommend this place.

      Camped right on the river

      We stopped here on the way home as a 1 nighter.we stayed 3 days.ican see in summer or holiday weekends it could be a crazy busy place. We had a site right on the water and was mostly quiet. We were here mid-week in early may. So much fun. We rented PWCs just down river and parked them on the beach 20ft from our rv. The sites on the water are all dry sites and fcfs. Full hookups on the hill. Awesome views

      This is tight parking, I don't consider this camping but if you got something to do in Vegas it works fine. I took the city bus from the convention center to here very easy.

      River Camping

      If you are looking to camp on the Colorado River and you find yourself in Laughlin, NV, then Davis Camp Park is a good option. The spot right on the water are first come first serve. There are plenty of hookup sites.

      There are showers

      There is a jet ski rental place located at the campground. 

      Cell: Great

      Stayed in B loop, spaces were nice and wide. Some have lots of trees but some have nothing. Some of the spaces nearest the river have a good water view but some are blocked by vegetation. No river access unless you’re in the loop closest to the swim beach. The beaches were VERY crowded so we had to get to the water early to secure a spot. It was also really windy so be prepared. Park was quiet in the evenings and the bugs weren’t too bad.

      Very quite and comfortable

      I really liked the views! Sites were somewhat different but level and solid. But the whole drive thru the neighbors front yard threw me for a minute until I got the gist of it. Very quite! Gas available for less than five dollars a plus as well! Lake mead is extremely low so, it wasn’t the best place for handicap access. But beautiful scenery!

      sit back and relax, or go fishing, swimming, kayaking or 4 wheeling

      Always enjoy the cool evening air, and the grand wash cliffs color changing show.

      The Grand Wash cliffs really put on a great show. Get the fire pit going and cook some chow or just chill and star gaze. always a wonderful and peaceful evening to be had here, During the day there are many things you can do: fishing, hiking, biking, atv riding, swimming, gold prospecting, walking, visit the sky walk, kayaking, and so much more.

      Thousand Trails should be ashamed...

      We are fairly new to the Thousand Trails membership and started our travels in August 2020 with our first stop at Tall Chief near Seattle. We jumped between TT campgrounds all year. Every person we met gave us great recommendations. But, when we mentioned we were staying here everyone always scrunched their faces and said to stay somewhere else. We stay for free with TT so figured it couldn't be THAT bad. We were wrong... this place is pretty rough and should probably lose it's TT designation.

      I will say the staff were all friendly enough but still pretty gruff at best. The park itself is bad. The walls around the premises are just cinder block with barbed wire at the top with trash blowing in the wind on them. The neighborhood itself looks a bit sketchy but it is adjacent to a hotel, a large retirement community, and a few businesses. So I don't think it's as sketch as it looks at first glance.

      The bathrooms look pretty run down and the park was pretty ripped up for construction. Hopefully it hasn't been sitting that way for long. The pool didn't look very inviting. The place definitely isn't secure. You can just drive right on in at any time. There were a LOT of busted up RVs and travel trailers. Some even had sides replaced with plywood. Many spots were filled with garbage. Some spaces had 3-5 cars parked at them. For a Thousand Trails there doesn't appear to be any requirements on what is allowed to be parked here. If Thousand Trails wants people to actually join TT you'd think they'd want their parks to look nice enough to even want to join. (Thousand Trails marketing materials were even being used to board up windows).

      All-in-all, if this is where people stay full time to live and work then it's fantastic there are decent places. RVs and travel trailers need places to be parked. It should not have a Thousand Trails designation though unless it meets that standard in my opinion.

      Good park for the city.

      This is a Thousand Trails RV Resort located in the city of Las Vegas. The park is large and the sites are pretty tight. It does fit large rigs, but your neighbors are close, and it is FHU. There are a lot of full-timers at this park. The RV resort is decently maintained and has multiple laundry facilities and restrooms. There is a large heated pool and a nice deck area for relaxing. They have large, fenced dog run that could be cleaner. There is also an office and community room where there is live music and other entertainment during the week. This park does have tiny houses for rent and they are well kept. It is in a decent location, close to shopping and casinos. Downtown Las Vegas is just a couple miles away and a quick drive. The resort is located on busy roads which can be noisy at times. There is a ranger station at the entrance and security. The park had some issues with electricity being rewired and they were currently down 86 spots, but we were told they would be fixed soon. Overall, a nice park and a good stay close to everything.

      Not the best, not the worst

      This place was okay. It was right next to the water and the mountains in the background were beautiful. Close to the city- so we unhooked the RV and for gas and picked up a few items. They have a Walmart, Sams Club and Home Depot within two miles away. Based on the street we were on, Bullhead City was a very sketchy place though and did not feel very safe. The campsite itself felt safe though. The campsite was too small and close to others for my liking. We have dogs who love to bark at other dogs and whenever they hear sounds, so we always prefer a lot of space. Our dogs love the water but there were too many other dogs and people around to let them off leash to be able to play. Important to know, there is a two dog limit. The neighbors had their music extremely loud until around 9pm and there are a lot of jet skis constantly whizzing by. So, overall, not the worst but wasn’t really for us.

      Quiet and clean, but tight fit for our 40ft IP.  Our spot was on the end and leveling was easy. We did have to unhitch our tow but it still fit right in front our coach. great for overnight for us.

      Great place to watch Laughlin fireworks

      Well kept campground. Nice main cabin area with ping pong tables. Pool and spa area are well kept and very nice looking! Not a bad place to camp, but very open (very little trees or shade) in such a hot city (during summer)!

      Tight fit

      This is a decent campground, but they pack people in like sardines, and the stalls are very close. Expect that you will have to move your truck occasionally so people can park/leave. They have a pool, spa and a dog area. It is centrally located and eat to get to the strip for some great food and fun.
