    Davis Camp Bullhead City AZ

    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

    Nice CG close to Bullhead City

    Nice CG at the south end of Lake Mohave, but inside the NPS Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Lots of campsites and all are FCFS, $24/$12 senior, 30 day stay limit. Tables, trash, water spigots, flush toilets, shower house and small laundry room. Marina is close by and there are some hiking trails around down by lake. Cell signal (T-Mobile) is fair to poor. Starlink rules again!

    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.

    Warm in winter

    My trailer is a 31 ft tt somewhat windy but trees break up the wind. 24 a night, 12 with senior access. Decent size sites, clean bathroom showers. Verizon available but minimal Internet. Would come back. People stay up to 30 days.

    Callville Bay RV Park

    Full hookups at a low price

    As an alternative to the NPS campground across the road, this mobile home park has some full hookup RV spots in the rear of the mobile home park next to the laundry/restrooms. Note that the restrooms/showers are closed but laundry is open. Office staff said campers from the NPS campground can use the laundry. Cost for RV as of Feb 2022 was only $29.38 for full hookups. Only about 9-10 sites are available for RVs and reservations are required either online or in the office upstairs at the Callville Bay Store. No tents, no open fires, no wifi. However, cell signal is very good on Verizon, TMobile and ATT due to the cell antennas by the NPS water tanks above the NPS campground.

    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.

    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)!

    Katherines Landing Campground - Lake Mead National Rec Area

    Very clean and quiet. Ill camp here again.

    Stayed here 1 night in mid-June. It was very hot- 114 at sun down. It cooled down enough overnight to allow for comfortable sleep.

    I was the only one there except for one other tent on the other side of the park. Man-made noise beyond the park was not a problem.

    There are a lot of spots, maybe 30-40. A lot of them are surrounded with trees/bushes that gives some privacy. And all the roads are paved.

    I felt safe, too. Security truck came around a few times throughout the night.

    I would stay here again.

    Noisy

    Dry camped by the water during the week. Pretty spot but very noisy with music and people outside until well after midnight. 10pm quiet time largely ignored and not enforced.

    Quiet and Secluded

    We arrived with our 36 foot class a motorhome and we’re not sure if there was room. Met by the camp host or some very nice employee and told us which spaces we could pull it into. Was very quiet not a whole lot of people. No hook ups water nearby but a great place to relax and explore Lake Mead. The fee is $20 per night and with the senior citizen discount only $10 per night.

    camping on the right or left side of the road.  If you strike out check the other side and you will be fine.

    Very secluded by oleander trees that cover each spot.

    The roads are paved and great for biking.

    Amazing

    They didn’t skip a beat with this location. They have it all!!!! Hotel, RV park and camping.

    Any rental you can imagine they have it!

    Fish cleaning stations, laundry, clean bathrooms.

    Restaurant, grocery store, fishing equipment, gas station, and plenty of parking. 

    Boat launch

     Everything is clean and well maintained not to mention the signage is mind blowing. 

    Make a reservation if you want to stay in hotel or rv park and camp spots can be reserved but most of them are first come first serve. 

    Great place for sure!!!

    Lake Mead - Arrowhead Cove

    Great Spot

    ok, when you drive in from the entrance off of bullhead make sure you keep driving and pass princess cove and just keep driving until you see a paved road on your left... PASS THAT and a little way down the road you will see a turn on the left that is a dirt road take that down and find your spot!!! You want daylight because you want to make sure you see where you're going.

    This is free camping!!

    If you park at telephone cove and boat up to here that's also a way to get there as well.

    Make sure you pick up after yourself.

    Great place, wasn't busy today but in less than a month this area will be busy with boats and trucks.

    Close to all the action

    Really a nice campground, nice big spots, tables and a fire pit as well as a laundry room and did I mention clean bathrooms!!! oleander trees space out each camp spot which give you all the privacy anyone could need. Perfect place to ride bikes and it’s a good walking distance to the pier with restaurant, grocery store, fishing and boat rentals. This is like a village in its own. Great area for sure and it’s the perfect time now before it’s to hot.

    Super nice and weekend brunch

    This place is really everything in more. Your away from the hustle and bustle of the river traffic but close enough to still Enjoy.

    Clean bathrooms Spotless pool and spa Stunning restaurant that offers brunch for $5 dollars on the weekends.

    Some of the best spots were 122, 63, 55 they had some shade. They don’t have tables so bring your own. They do have full hook ups and private little rentals if need be. Super impressed! Great roads for biking Friendly people as well.
