Large campsites and close to the river

Stayed here in March for 3 nights. This place was my first choice to stay, as I been here plenty of times before but never camped here. Its FCFS and the sites are usually full or nearly full. Mostly with the snowbirds during the winter months. The sites are fairly large and spaced out. They were working on extending the campgrounds to make more campsites when I stayed. This place has full hookups, which was extremely nice with a family of 3. They did have water and dumpsite near the entrance. You are a 3 minute drive to the beach/river area. The beach is nice and well maintained. There are two sides to jump into the water. There are walking trails that needed to be maintained, but this was only because there was a fire in the area some time ago. Camp host and ranger station were great and assisted with anything needed. I just wish they took reservations, as this is my favorite spot to camp in Laughlin area. Davis Dam campgrounds and Avi don't have anything on this place. Go to Avi if you want cramped, parking lot camping, or Davis if you want run down facilities. The restrooms were the cleanest I seen in a state and/or national park. Will return!
