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.

Beautiful. As good as it gets for state parks in Arizona, or anywhere for that matter. Very busy except for 'off' season, we have managed to camp here once in 3 efforts. Very pretty lots with lots of shade, gorgeous river frontage. Excellent (hilly!) hiking trails. Friendly camp people with very nice 'cactus' walk near gate. Bar and store, beach for those that can brave the chilly Colorado River. A wonderful park by any standards. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the nicest state parks we have visited. The location on the Colorado River is scenic and provides good recreational opportunities. The sites are large and level. Numerous mature trees provide good shade from the summer sun. The entire park including the showers and restrooms are clean and well maintained. Staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. I do not fault them for the reservation system. The rules are made by the park service administration, not the local rangers. Penalties for canceling or changing reservations are usually imposed for good reasons, among them being to discourage reservation hording and opportunism. It is unfortunate when they bite people with good intentions but it sometime happens. Most of the sites in this park are available on a first-come basis so you do not have to use the reservation system. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Warning. This park is wonderful and we would love to see it stay open through all the budget cuts. We had one issue, otherwise this would have received a 10. We made a reservation after looking at the “Not to Scale Map”. When we arrived we realized we made a mistake, the space we thought we were getting was not the one reserved (we had been to this park before and were going from memory and the map fooled us). The map showed the space we wanted the size of a tent site, when actually it is one of the largest spaces in the park. There were four other RVs in the park (the park was empty, it was a Tuesday at the end of summer, kids back in school) and we were told we could not change spots without paying a penalty of a full night fee and a reservation fee ($55 for one night including penalty). In summary, they punish you for making a mistake and for making a reservation. If you make a reservation in this park you pay a fee of $5, pay a higher rate per night, you get an inferior space and you cannot change spaces when you arrive even when the park is empty! Our fifth wheel and truck would not fit in our reserved space without unhitching. The park rangers we talked with were all really nice, however, only one can make decisions on park rules and he was not around (he was not available the three days we were there). He does not allow his rangers to make any decisions without his approval. We were also told we are not the first customers to leave upset and we surely will not be the last unless these rules are changed. The reason for writing this email is the hope that other people will talk to him and ask him to make the rules friendly for the customers. Do not punish people for making a reservation, let them enjoy their trip in a space that fits their unit (maps which are not to scale cannot be read well over the internet and everyone has different preferences). We were not able to talk with the manager, left a message, but never received a return call. We want our AZ State Parks to stay in business and treat customers right. Thank you for reading this posting, I hope it will make a difference. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Love this place. Camp here as often as we can. Just wish it wasn't so hot in the summer. Staff is always very pleasant. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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 Monday through Thursday. 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 as there is a boat ramp, beach, etc. Nice little store. We'll definitely return. It's a great place for a few days getaway. Some spots had nice shade, others were in the open. No reservations so come early and take your pick. We camped here in a camper.

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.
