This is an older, not very attractive, RV park which consists of dead grass, dirt, and gravel roads. The smell of sewage permeates many areas of the park. Some of the riverside sites are really nice, but most of them and many of the interior sites are rented by people who leave their RV there all year and mostly come to the park on the weekends and in the summer. Many of these RVs are old, in poor repair, and have unsightly storage underneath. The gravel roads create a lot of dust, especially when the full-year renters drive their golf carts, ATVs, and jeeps in and out many times a day. There seems to be an effort to keep the park clean, but the infrastructure does not appear to have been updated in a long time. The park managers are sometimes abrupt and often rude when a problem is brought to their attention. There appears to be a different set of rules for the full-year residents than for others, particularly pertaining to leashing and picking up after pets and quiet hours. On the positive side, we met many friendly people who were spending the winter in the park. The monthly rate does not include electricity, which ran us about $70. WiFi is included in the monthly rate, although it is not always reliable. We would probably not return to this park other than for an occasional overnighter to visit friends. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park at first glance was disappointing in comparison to the website, but we had a great time and the place grew on you. I would come back. The sites were dead grass and dirt, not real level, and we needed an extension on our hose to get to the water hook up. However, on the positive side, the sites are large (both in length and width) and everything worked including the WIFI which is free. I feel the daily and weekly prices are high considering you don’t get a swimming pool or other fancy amenities like some parks at the same price; however, you are right on the Colorado River which probably would be nice in the warmer weather for water sports. What I did like about the park was the friendly people and the “no rule” atmosphere – everything was casual. The park is very quiet and gated for security. There is no road or train noise, just the sound of birds and nature. The restaurants in town are fun. They had plenty of washers and dryers and even clothes lines to hang your clothes out. There was a problem with a sewer smell in several areas. It seemed like management took care of it before we left. The restrooms were clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in the one rental they have at this park for 2 nights. The location was good, right next to the river and the park itself was very quiet. There was also a lovely gift basket that was waiting for us.Unfortunately, there were three issues pertaining to the rental that gave this park very low marks. First, the rental had cockroaches, very large cockroaches. I understand that any unit being near water might attract them, but I don't want to live, sleep or eat in a rental that has them. Secondly, the box springs on the bed are broken. Even the slightest movement such as turning on your side was met with rather loud creaking noises. The mattress itself was fine, but the box springs were excessively loud. The third and final issue had to due with the smell of sewage inside and around the location of this rental. I don't know where the smell was coming from, but it was strong and really unpleasant. We were told that management has been aware of it for some time, but has not done anything to alleviate the problem. As I stated previously, the rental is in a really nice location, but the three issues are significant enough to ensure we won't be renting the unit again. Also, for some reason this page isn't putting in the nightly rate correctly. It was $100.00 per night (off season). We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

Rate we paid was for Passport America - good for two nights only. Sites just barely accommodated our 40'rig - VERY narrow as this an older park. Sites are gravel with small cement "patio". Park is on Colorado River, has Wi-Fi at office and club house. Club house was not open but it's on the river which is wide/deep enough for lots of boating. Parker, AZ is the only real city close to Big River, CA and it's about 7 miles away across the river. We did an excursion over to Joshua Tree Nat. Park ( 130 miles away ) and was a generally dull outing except to say we saw 29 Palms, CA. Their signs suggest they have a problem with rattlesnakes & scorpions. The managers were exceptionally friendly & the campground was clean but there isn't enough going on in this facility to bring us back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
