I don't know how I ever missed this lovely campground! I tell people I have been everywhere, and I do spend a lot of time looking for campgrounds that I might like, but I think what I did with this one is overlook it because it is on the Arizona side of the Colorado River. It is a few miles down from Lake Havasu, and I have stayed at the state park there and another state park not too far north from here, but this is my first time here.
Unfortunately, I had reservations for only three days here, and I cannot extend it right now, but I will definitely be back another time.
What is impressive about this state park is that it is surrounded by steep hills on three sides and on the Colorado River on the fourth side, so the area is gorgeous!! I do not swim or kayak, or even hike much anymore, so I love a place with good campsites and lots of things to look at.
This is a relatively small state park with only about 40 campsites, but they are well spread apart and on Asphalt. Electrical hookups looked fairly new as well. Here are two photos of my rig on my campsite.
My site is only about 400-500' from the river overlook and beach. And the weather while i was here had highs in the lower 70s and sunshine!!
This is a sharp bend in the Colorado River and the water seemed clear and cold.
Looking upstream.
The small beach.
And the large boat ramp.
There are a couple of trails, one to Buckskin State Park, which is not too far away.
Another view of the campground.
A mountain/high hill just south of the campground. You may not be able to see it, but there is a tiny bench on top about in the middle.
I was told there was a trail up to this bench, and it was not too hard of a hike, but I passed it by. Wish they had a chair lift up to it for us seniors.
Place has been pretty full, which is understandable considering how pretty this area is and how the river is perfect for kayaking right here at this bend.
Onward to my next stop tomorrow!
