Here for the memories with the fam

Adventures

Had a quick stay here but was still able to see some. It’s AZ so it’s always hot, just prepare for that. The hiking trails and history are amazing here. Showers and bathrooms well maintained. It did rain pretty good as we were rolling in so the ants were…insane. They were everywhere.

Only the Best

NOTE: Park is only for Active, Reservist, Retired Military members, their dependents, and blood relatives being escorted.

We stayed for 3 nights at Fort Bliss and just Wow!!! It has to be one of the best RV parks we have stayed so far.

The Pros: -Great spots -Great pricing ($25-$35 a night) -Laundry mat ($1 wash, $1 dry) -Dog run -Big grass area to play -Family group hall

The Cons: -Water pressure seemed pretty high, just so happens I lost our regulator and we blew out a hose(thankfully not an RV line) -Hot(it’s TX desert🤷🏼‍♂️)

We will most definitely stay here everytime we go through El Paso

Quiet getaway

-This was a great little spot! There is no light pollution besides maybe a neighbor that forgot to turn off their lights. -Kartchner Cave is walking distance with a great observation center even if you don’t take a tour into the caves. -Couple stores within 20miles for any forgotten items. -Spots a very large and spaced well. -Restrooms/showers well maintained *Shower water pressure is less than desired. -Visited Tombstone, AZ as well. About a 30min drive. **Watch your step, we came across a Diamond Back Rattle Snake about 4 feet from our picnic bench. ***It’s Arizona, summer times will be hot, our temp in June was 108.

Great stay, bad bugs

Pros: Cute area, great sized spots, no issues with the camp grounds or amenities. River was awesome for the kids. Cons: The river area became packed from people setting out tents as soon as the sun came up, and the mosquitoes were TERRIBLE as soon as the sun began to set. Kids had so many bites from the first night we did not enjoy going out once the sun began setting. We tried sprays, candles, and other products and they helped a little but still bad.

Awesome

Disclaimer-The campground is located on Camp Pendleton military base. Access to military instillations is required.

The camp grounds are amazing with plenty to keep adults and little ones occupied.

A lake right behind some of the spots, playground in middle of campgrounds, recreational rentals, baseball fields.

Many spots available from Tent to full hook up and pull through RV/Camper spots.

Beautiful

Love how there was so much to do on the grounds and around.

They had an indoor rec room with billiards, shuffle board and more.

Outdoor rec area with corn hole, picnic area and more.

Pool and hot tub well maintained.

Easy access to beach and a mild walk to the pier.

Camping friendly

Not located in the Yosemite Park (we made that mistake). 20-30min drive to Yosemite Park.

Very cute and quiet spot.

Trails around camp grounds, petting zoo for kids.

Tent, camper/rv, and cottage camping available.

Would recommend if you don’t mind a drive to get to the park.

Sweet little Oasis

To start off, it was very hot if you are not from the area. Temps got from around 108-116 during the day. If you are going be prepared to spend alot of time in the water, or be running you A/C nonstop.

The campgrounds were nice but seemed small overall. The location we stayed was right next to the lagoon and we were not able to fully extend our awning with our slide out without it going into the next camp over.

We started with an electrical ground fault, but maintenance did come out and correct that. Then we found that we were unable to run our A/C and microwave without tripping the power supply.

There is a small golf course included in your stay, but balls and clubs are not available for rent if you don't bring your own.

There is a store on sight and a dinner with basic food if you want to not cook a meal. There is no fire pits or fire aloud. There is no cell service.

By boat, it is about a 30min ride to Lake Havasu. By vehicle it is an hr drive. The road to the campground does become a little rough and tight 2 lane around some sharp turns, but not much traffic.

The lagoon from pictures looked great for young children to play in. When we got there the water level was low throughout the river and the lagoon was only about half full.

Overall was a nice stay with great views, amenities, and very easy access to the river, but hot weather, small spaces, and on the more expensive side. We did stay over the 4th of July weekend (3 nights) and our cost was $300.

Personally would recommend for those with smaller campers or don't have slidouts and have a plan for the summer heat.

Also we were able to see a few fireworks from on top of the hill.

Quiet get away

This was a great quick get away for my family and I. The kids all love fishing at the pond on site. Plenty of space between campgrounds. No issues with hook-ups or amenities. Pool was still closed due to COVID restrictions but looked clean. Paid about $95 for a 2 night stay.

Was a little confusing how to get to dump site, and is a little tight of a turn around for it.

All and all, would stay again and definitely recommend for others.
