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!

Great spot
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.

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

Great People
We only stay 3-4 nights per visit but everyone has always been great. They are working on upgrading the wifi, as it is very slow now. Just what we need when visiting the area.

Solid gravel roads, lots of space, small scrubery, nestled against rock formations.

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.

My boyfriend and I stayed 1 night here with our dog and we loved it. The sites are well spread out so each camp has privacy. We will definitely be back!

Good Verizon signal clean sites. Easy to get to beautiful area. You do need an Arizona trust camping permit. It cost $20 for the whole year. You can get it online.

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.

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake
Seems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.

Full hookups but did not get cold water this time of year. Close to action. Casinos, food and shopping.

Lake Havasu State Park Campground
Overflow Parking with a Beach View...Yes, Please!
We love it when parks have a plan for traveling campers like us who hate making reservations, and Lake Havasu came through in spades. They have a whole section of their campground dedicated to folks like us. We pulled up, grabbed a space, and spent the night right by the lakeshore.
I’m afraid we didn’t take pictures of the parking area as we were so taken with the view! It’s a huge parking lot with dedicated camping spaces, with picnic tables, trash cans and plenty of space between your neighbors. The bathrooms offer flush toilets, sinks and warm showers.
The RV dump tanks were close by, as is the vast boat launch area. While the overnight area might be a little more spartan, the rest of the park is gorgeous with looping campsite areas, rentable cabins, and winding paths.
Yet, it’s still within the town limits, so everything you might need, or want, is a short walk, bike ride, or drive away. You can even catch the ferry to the casinos across the lake if you want to lose your spending money.
Hiking, biking and paddling opportunities could all be reached from the campsite. Each site along the beach had some trees for shade, but all the sunshine you could want for solar power as well. We’ll keep this place in mind when we want a quick overnight with some shower access close to town.

Sams Beachcomber RV Resort is nice. Clean property. Common areas are clean and nice and cool! Utility box blew and it was fixed 2.5 hours after call. Sites are minium and close together but it's ok.

Excellent info!
You have shared some good information so far. I would like to get more information about this place. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ryan N.ScoutW Big Wash Road Dispersed
Perfect for a quick overnight stay
The two spots are about 1.5 miles off the highway on a dirt road, you'll see a spot off the right on a narrow trail. BLM property. Free-roaming cows, didn't bother us at all. Beautiful sunset on our nights stay. The second spot is just around the first corner after the first one, less used, but probably flatter. Could hear the highway, but wasn't bothersome.

Fantastic Camp Ground
Great campground for either tents, trailers, class A or C motorhomes. Quiet and close to Colorado River
Lauren M.RangerW Big Wash Road Dispersed
Pull off spot
Great little pull off camp spot. I wouldn’t spend more than one night here. The cows are super cute to wake up to. I didn’t smell them at all. The road is a little washboard and there aren’t a lot of good turn around spots. Overall very happy with the spot. It was quiet and perfect for a road trip camp spot.
Liz Y.ScoutW Big Wash Road Dispersed
Beautiful remote spot
Gave only 3 stars due to sketchy cell (AT&T) and no internet. Only 2 spots, but there was a fire ring and free roaming cows. Great for an overnight stay.

BLM Wild Cow Springs Recreation Area
Perhaps the nicest campground in AZ!
I ended up staying here a couple of nights and it's beautiful! Stay was in September and the weather was beautiful. Trees cover almost everything, there is a little creek, and plenty of opportunities to go exploring on hikes. Loved it!

Beautiful Spot
Great spot just before Hole in the Wal About 1/4 mile down a road marked “4x4 high clearance only.” But if you’re just hitting the campsite you can make It in a lot less. There’s a turn around there for people towing trailers. No facilities, just a fire ring, red rock peaks and quiet. Absolutely stunning.
