Hole In The Wall Campground — Mojave National Preserve
Great Area
I love this campground. The scenery is gorgeous and there are several interesting hiking trails. The campsites are spread out. A great place to enjoy the desert, especially in the winter.

Lake Mohave - Nevada Telephone Cove — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Ideal Camping Spot
This is a perfect dispersed camping spot! Dirt road in was about 4 miles long from the highway but pretty well graded and easy to drive, big rig friendly.
Plenty of camping spots along the water with some shade trees. Dumpster onsite and a few vault toilets for the tent campers. Very safe crowd.

Craggy Wash - Dispersed Camping Area
Not Safe - local homeless camping
Pulled in here to see an old burnt out RV being towed away with the assistance of BLM officers. Did a lap around the camping area and it did not feel safe at all. Lots of homeless camping since this is really close to part of Lake Havasu City. Couple of campers looked broke down and stuck there long term. Lots of tent camping with vehicles (homeless).
Talked to one of the BLM officers on the way out and he recommended that I don't camp there. They have lots of issues with this place. He said the places South of town and further North were much safer.

Peace and loneliness
The site is small and basic; just a fire pit; perfect! Nice views of the nearby mountain and gorgeous sunsets. 4 stars as there is no protection from wind. Temp at night 36F in February.

Havasu Heights
Decent spot just outside town!
I stayed two nights and found the area to be perfect. It was not overly crowded, except for the area right off of the main road. If you go a little farther in on the trail you get a little more space. I full time in a class c and flat tow my Jeep and was able to get about half a mile off the main road for my own slice of heaven.
There are lots of flat areas for easy setup, but there are also quite a few areas that would be challenging to level. Depending on your rig you may want to walk the area first.
There was a little bit of highway noise, but nothing major. Town is about 10 minutes south, and interstate 40 is about 10 minutes north.

We are new to RVing and recently purchased a 2018 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV and wanted to take it some where close, so Davis Camp it was! Staff was great, neighbors were great, and the trip was very enjoyable! RV had no issues!

Ended up staying in the overflow dry camping area for 2 nights. Was nice area. Little noisy but was ok. Worked out for me.

Very Convenient
Great fir overnight stay. Full hook up $47 which we thought reasonable. Concrete and gravel we had a flat site. We used the lending library for a couple of videos we had not seen!

No facillities, but beautiful quiet place to spend the night. No one else there, rings provided for fires.

Ivanpah Dry Lake
One of the best landsailing spots in the world
Ivanpah is a world-renowned spot for land sailing. The BLM has set the playa aside for use only by non-motorized vehicles and the lake is fantastic! All types of land yachts, kite buggies and other wind-powered craft sail there.
Motorized vehicles must stay off the lake to avoid rutting the surface.
The area is closed and no vehicle movement is permitted when the surface is wet - you'll probably get stuck if you try.
There is a bathroom kiosk with picnic tables about half-way to the prime sailing area, which is about 3 miles from the turnoff at turn by the state lottery in Primm.
The larger dry lake is on the west side and a smaller lake is on the east, behind the casinos.

San Gennaro Riverfront RV Park
A little bit crazy
People pull in cars everywhere and anywhere they can fit and I don’t think they have permission. They just do it.
They raise their rent by $25 and I cannot read if I have a lease. I haven’t even been here a year and they want to raise the rent.
Paul L. M.ScoutCraggy Wash - Dispersed Camping Area
No admission / entry
I just followed the GPS / Google Maps coordinates to go to the Craggy Wash dispersed camping area south of Lake Havasu City (was actually in Lake Havasu City when I searched for nearby dispersed camping sites via The Dyrt ...). Copied the coordinates provided on The Dyrt webpage, turned left off US 95 South where directed (& it was the correct road on the live map), but there is a locked gate there with big sign: "Private Property Keep Out.". So.....since it was only 4:10 pm PST (Dec. 28, 2024), I travelled on to Hi Jolly just above Quartzsite. I did leave the Google Maps app active as I turned back south on 95 just to see if the voice directions might provide an alternate entrance to Craggy Wash, but ....no.

Quiet
Great isolated spot, probably great for stargazing when the moon isn’t in your face.
William J.GuideRiverside Casino and RV Park
Choose how you want to camp.
There are two ways to camp at the Riverside. There is an RV park across Casino drive with full hook ups and the other amenities' associated with an rv park including propane at the Nov 2024 price of $4.35 a gallon.
Across the street in the casino parking lot next to the road is dry camping area. Free for seven days and more if you play the games and get 25 points a week. Numbered spaces that accomodate any size rig. Upon arrival pick an open site and park. Go to the group check in desk at the south tower (closet one). It's just inside the door. They will have security come to your rig and check your vehicle license and insurance are current. Then TAKE THE FORM the officer gives you back to the group check in desk (I know. It's a long walk) to complete your check in. Oh. And you have to have a casino players card to stay. Generators from 7 to 10. Enjoy your stay and good luck

Ugly gravel pit next to hwy
This spot is best for a quick layover and then move on. Just an old gravel pit,th no water, no toilets, no trash. Only a few miles north of the town and Walmart. There were a couple of broke down burned out vehicles that added to the ambiance. No cell in the lower pit but ok cell on upper level.

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.

Beautiful and wild
We loved it here, stayed the one night to break up the journey. The directions are great, and there are two sites here, we stayed in the second. It was nice and level. The views were beautiful, and having all the space and quiet to ourselves was magical. Didn't see any snakes or other critters.
Jackie G.TravelerCraggy Wash - Dispersed Camping Area
Solid Overnight Stop
We stopped here as a one night stop on our way to New Mexico. It was a decently maintained dirt road, you should know how to crawl around potholes and/or have a higher clearance vehicle. I could see a 2WD getting stuck in the sand/fine rock areas. If you want to sleep in at all, definitely pick the west side of a large rock structure to help block the morning sun. It very quickly got hot, but with no canopy on the tent at night, we slept comfortably.

DW Ranch Road
Great Spot but go further up the road
We stayed here for a night and the site was beautiful. We stayed in one of the spaces not too far down the road as it was our first time dispersed camping. I would definitely recommend staying further down the road as there were a few things we quickly realized:
- There is a Loves truck stop on the other side of the highway so if gets pretty loud with all of the truck traffic
- DW Ranch road had a lot of local traffic, including jeeps that I'm assuming were going off roading but they kept blasting by at 2/3AM with those huge light bars on them
- There is a parking lot right at the end of the road that seemed to be a hot spot for high school kids that wanted to come mess around in the field area at night (We stayed on a Saturday and got woken up by some drunk kids walking pretty close to our area yelling and screaming)
