Most of park might be OK, but do not park in the "Canyon" section. Very, very difficult to get in and out. Cell phones did not work here. No wi-fi. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Friendly office staff with escort to site. Within short walking distance to a movie theatre and the Blue Water Casino. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Facilities at the site were excellent. Paved roads and large sites. There are more likely to be sites in this area than Buckskin Mountain, but camping here entitles the guest to full use of Buckskin facilities, such as hiking, visitor center, and ranger talks. Near the road, but traffic is very light at night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, newly remodeled with large sites and 50 amp electric. Right on Colorado River. Great backup for Buckskin Mountain. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park would get a 10 if it were not for the motor boating crowd. Everything is very nice and what a great location on the Colorado River. If you want quiet look some where else. If you can take the sound of high performance engines, this place is for you. Plan ahead because the are very few full hookup sites and even fewer sites that can be reserved. We saw four rigs in line one morning waiting and hoping that someone would leave and they could get in! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We forgot the relaxing atmosphere of this state park 30 ml south of Lake Havasu City and the friendly park rangers. Situated on the Colorado River, all sites are level and have water & electric; only a few have sewer but a dump station is available. We learned that a few sites can be reserved up to one year in advance by calling the park. Several snowbirds who were en route to southern Arizona/ Mexico were in the park also. A 2 week say is maximum and a discount is offered in Nov/Dec to stay for 7 nights for a 5 night fee (except for pull-throughs which are full hookup sites). This is a busier place in the summer with a boat launch, cabanas, play area; the store, arcade and restaurant close for the season in December but re-open in Feb. A museum and a cactus garden are available on-site plus a hiking trail. Blue Water Casino is 10 ml away. We will be back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A beautiful site on the Colorado River. The river wraps around this park making a stark contrast to the rugged Buckskin Mountains to the east. This is a great place to relax and enjoy nice warm winter days. Great evening walks along the river and also a trail that crosses over Hwy 95 into the Buckskin Mountains where we saw some great views. There is a park market and launch ramp if you have a boat. Also a nice playground for kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had a water/electric site, but the sani dump worked out okay. Beautiful setting on the river. The cabana sites are next to the water, but only have 15 amp electricity. Only a few sewer hookups and if you want one better reserve it. Handy store on site, but adjacent restaurant appeared closed during our stay. Interpretive center was interesting and good view of the area short distance up a medium difficulty trail. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice State Park campground. Right on the Colorado River. Nice, double-wide, shaded, back-in spaces. Water/ electric hook-ups in all sites, sewer available in a few. We spent 4 days here during the kids x-mas break from school and had a blast! The Buckskin Loop Trail is great, also some nice areas to ride bikes. Hopefully you can run into the guy that is a host here and knows all about the trail and the vegetation in the area, he is great! Will be back next winter for another get-away! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground on the Colorado River. In the evening we would take chairs down by the river and visit while watching the stars. We had a very enjoyable stay at Buckskin Mountain State Park. We will be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the best place to stay in the Parker area. All sites are paved with water and
electricity. Only several have sewer, but there is a dump station next to the store that is within the park. Boat ramp, restaurant, playground, and hiking
make it a good family place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a wonderful stop for several nights, especially M-Th. The weekends are busy and noisy with boaters all around. However, during mid-week, the place was peaceful and quiet. This is one state park where any kind of rig will have plenty of room. We had a 70' long and very wide back-in space with a view of the bend of the Colorado River all around. Virtually on the river. 30 amp power and good water. Bring your water toys...boat
ramp, beach, etc. Nice little store. We'll definitely return...great place for a few days' getaway. (Some spots had nice shade, others were in the open...no reservations...come early and take your pick.) We camped here in a camper.
We have stayed at this campground several times in the past. This is a county park and they do not take reservations....in the summer they have very few RV guests, in the winter--they fill up quickly. They have cable TV and 50 amp service, so it is NOT a bad place to stay--even in the summertime. No sewer hook-ups, because they are on the river, but they have at least 4 dump stations. We find this a VERY pleasant stay. We have a 36 foot Class A and did not even have to unhook our toad. Lots of shade trees for our dogs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There are parts of this park that appear inviting, and some sites have hookups. All the hookup sites were taken and what remained were in a HUGE field with dry camping. Small portions of the field have grass. There are quite a few nice shade trees. If you must stay here for dry camping, be sure to get a place on the grass because everywhere else is very dusty. We arrived after dark and left before sunrise to get out of here! The hosts were friendly and the location is good. To use showers you must provide a $25 (refundable) key deposit. We chose to use our own. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Showers were not dirty but they weren't immaculate either. Park could be maintained a little better. Nice location along Colorado River. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed two nights in this park. This mainly is a mobile home full residence park. No cable available where we parked. Owners very pleasant but probably would not stay here again. No place to walk your pet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
