Colorado River Oasis RV Resort houses spacious glamping accommodations along the river, with private beach access and boat launching facilities. Several glamping options near Laughlin offer full hookups, climate control, and resort-style amenities that blend outdoor experiences with luxury comforts. According to a camper, "They have their own entrance to the river which is super neat because if you rent jet skis you can get back to your lodging any time of the day." The glamping sites at Riverside Adventure Trails RV Resort and Davis Camp Park provide canvas tent options and cabin-style accommodations with picnic tables, electricity, and proximity to water recreation. Ridgeview RV Resort and Lake Mead's Arrowhead Cove feature glamping accommodations with mountain views and riverside settings that attract visitors seeking both adventure and comfort.
Water activities dominate the glamping experience in this desert river region, with multiple glamping resorts offering direct river access for swimming, boating, and jet skiing. Riverside Adventure Trails includes a swimming pool that visitors consistently praise as "an absolute lifesaver in the August heat," according to one reviewer. The Colorado River serves as the focal point for most glamping accommodations, with sites strategically positioned to maximize water views and access. During summer months, early reservations are essential as waterfront glamping sites fill quickly. Most glamping resorts remain open year-round, with winter offering more secluded experiences and summer bringing lively river recreation. Proximity to Laughlin's casinos provides additional entertainment options, with some glamping sites offering water taxi services across the river to gaming and dining establishments.
"Loved being able to set up our Napier Sportz tent with our Subaru at the river's edge on the Colorado River just outside of Bullhead City, Az. (across from Laughlin, NV). So clear!"
"Who doesn’t love camping and walking straight out to the River at your feet? Literally tent camping is allowed that close. Forgot your ice? They sale that on site as well."
"I'm impressed with how many amenities are provided: pool, laundry room, clubhouse, well-appointed bathroom, and a camp store with reasonable prices. My campsite is tidy and of a generous size."
"we rented a cabin and there was no air condition on when we arrived and we turned it on and went swimming at 10:30 at night and by the time we got back to the cabin it was cooled off!"
"Your away from the hustle and bustle of the river traffic but close enough to still Enjoy."
"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)!"
"They have their own entrance to the river which is super neat because if you rent jet skis you can get back to your lodging any time of the day."
"Very clean bathrooms and showers. Excellent customer service. Sabrina and Wayne both helped us get hooked up, and helped with our cable TV issues. Close to Laughlin casinos and river activities. "
"Clean bathrooms. Showers and laundry on site. Water available. Great T-mobile service, wifi available. If you are looking for a place to stay the night or a few days, this is recommended."

"Quiet and close to Colorado River"

"I was looking for a remote Cove to set up for a couple nights on Lake Mead and found this little gem off the beaten path but still accessible on a rugged and steeply graded access road."
"The drive off the paved road isn’t as long/bad as you’d expect."
"Arrived late on a Sunday and met by a lovely security guard who showed us to a pitch. The pool was an absolute lifesaver in the August heat! Friendly locals (we needed a tin opener!)"
$10 - $40 / night
"This was a small, 24-site campground near the Colorado River. The sites are not reservable so first come first served. The grounds and bathroom were clean."
"Was still able to get a spot on the water and set up canopy. Still favorite spot in Laughlin/Bullhead City area."
"The bathroom was immaculate as can be. With kids if the bathroom isn’t clean our babies are not going in."
"Friendly staff in the office. Great little store. Very clean accommodations. Well kept grounds. Close to restaurants, gas stations, attractions."
TravelerLoved being able to set up our Napier Sportz tent with our Subaru at the river's edge on the Colorado River just outside of Bullhead City, Az. (across from Laughlin, NV). So clear! Lots of families with jet skis, which we found entertaining although noisy. We just parked our beach chairs in the water as it was hot!! Bath and showers ok, but a hike up the stairs. Pet friendly, too!
TravelerThis was a small, 24-site campground near the Colorado River. The sites are not reservable so first come first served. The grounds and bathroom were clean. There are coin showers so make sure to bring quarters if you’re planning to use them. Otherwise, the river was really cool and refreshing. There were ants on our tent pad so we didn’t use the regular tent. We were one of the few tent campers, everyone else was in RV’s/trailers.
It is somewhat near the highway so you can hear cars that drive over the rumble strips from time to time (so bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper).
The sites also have hookups, a grill, a fire pit and shade ramadas. There are a few bushes separating you from other campsites and they were spaced pretty decently where we didn’t hear the RV noises.
The beach area to the river was within walking distance. There are shade ramadas too and some have picnic tables. The water was very cold but refreshing.
I would camp here again in the cooler months or if I had an air conditioned rig during the warmer months. It got up to the high 90s during the day but was nice and cool late at night.
if it wasn’t for the river I’d give this campground about 3 stars because of the ants and highway noise.
(sorry for the lack of photos for the whole site)

LegendThis is my first time staying at a KOA campground. I'm impressed with how many amenities are provided: pool, laundry room, clubhouse, well-appointed bathroom, and a camp store with reasonable prices. My campsite is tidy and of a generous size. There are only a few shrubs for privacy, but the campground is practically empty so this isn't an issue today.
What is an issue today is the heat. As I write this at 10:11 at night, it is 100° F. When I arrived in Needles this afternoon, it was 114° F. The water that comes out of the spigots here is like bathwater. I started my day in L.A., where it was about 70° F. I knew it would be hotter inland, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. I'll be breaking camp at dawn tomorrow and hurrying back into the air conditioned sanctuary of my car. This campground is probably much more pleasant in the winter.
GuideCamped here April 28 and stayed for 2 nights. Was very close to home but wanted to test out the new trailer. It's $30 a night for non beach sites and $40 for beach front. The sites are well separated and there are fire rings, cabana and picnic tables at each site. There is also water and electric at all sites, 30 and 50 amp. Its was very warm the days we stayed and had the A/C on the whole time. There are flush toilets and showers available. Nice hiking trails around the park. The campground staff are all pleasant and they keep the sites and bathrooms very clean. Its even close enough to town that you can walk to many nice restaurants. The beach's are sandy and you have a nice view of the sunset over the water in the evening. There is a dump station for those with holding tanks. All sites are reservable and there are also air conditioned cabins for rent.
TravelerWe pulling in very late, and it was still very hot! They have the swimming pool open all the time! we rented a cabin and there was no air condition on when we arrived and we turned it on and went swimming at 10:30 at night and by the time we got back to the cabin it was cooled off! nice clean but hot!
LegendReally 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.
GuideWe regularly stay at this KOA when visiting family in the area. We love the Deluxe Patio sites, but they are not in our budget when on a fixed income. If you can afford it, the deluxe patio sites offer the most room, plus a concrete patio, fire pit, and grill.
This time, we stayed in the longer pull throughs on the other side of the campground - but these pull throughs are narrow if you have slideouts on both sides. Forget using an awning, we barely have room for the slides or walking between slide and hedge. See photos.
These sites are closest to the road, and there is road noise. Especially when the trash pickup truck comes at 6am.
The mini golf area has been refreshed and it looks really nice.
LegendI ended up staying 3 nights here. The first in the regular paid campground--$50 a night--yikes for water/electric.
Then I discovered the overflow parking lot. $25 for dry camping. Much better views and you still have access to the park's amenities--showers, potable water, hiking trails, etc. Plus the vibe is more communal.
For the overflow sites you need to check in at the gate and you're assigned a site. Some of them are flatter than others. Mine was pretty level.
A big storm rolled in while I was here and it was fun to watch the lighting across the lake. Lots of bunnies and birds. But you are super close to town. Can hear the road noise and sirens at night. Biking distance from the London Bridge and other Havasu attractions.
