This is a great place especially on the weekends when this KOA RV park turns into more of a resort. The only down side for us was the lack of WI-FI that was not working. We needed our computer, otherwise, we'd have stayed longer than one night. Check with management if you need WI-FI. The "Missouri" managers are friendly and helpful, and this park is on the Colorado River. Facilities are clean and it has a large center with many added features like game room. We paid a premium for a site on the river...well worth the price for the enjoyment of watching the water sports, followed by the peacefulness of the river. Wonderful grounds for walking and socializing. Quiet at night, lively, but still peaceful during the day. We'll gladly return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed one night. The overnight spots are long and level but have no shade. Check your site for ant colonies. The longer term and permanent sites have trees, some with slabs. This is a pretty neat campground for river oriented activities with a launch ramp and dock. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites were very uneven. The wifi was horrible and the manager seemed to be pre-occupied with other things. Too pricy for my taste. I would not recommend this park to anyone since the partying goes on too much. The trees are chopped all the way back leaving no shade. The highway noise was more than I liked and the gas lines crossing the river was just a site for sore eyes. Any campground that allows a dog in the store would deem unfit to me. Unless you are a tenant at this park you are just a site number. I would not recommend this park to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Here's a great idea, they actually stay open until 8:00 PM so they got our business! A very friendly place; we were escorted to our site which is the consummate over-night spot: Over 100' long (on grass) with full hook-up (great cable TV). You are right on the river (only park models have river views) with a sandy beach a couple of steps away. You absolutely get freeway noise, which does not bother us much, but may bother others. There are some full-timers, and an RV storage area. However, we felt this was a great overnight spot and would definitely come back. Thanks KOA! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow, this place is the best for Dogs! They have huge play area and off-leash swimming for the dogs was encouraged by the management. They have a quiet little bay on the Colorado River for both dog and human recreation. No breed or weight restrictions, but they don't allow aggressive dogs. I like the approach to restrict the bad dogs instead of all dogs that fit a particular "profile". The 50' pull-trough we had was level grass, not black-top or concrete. The park is very roomy and green compared to most KOAs we've visited in the southwest. We would have given them a perfect "10", except for two things: First, The bathroom showers had minor issues like a broken shower-door lock and mold on the ceiling. Second, their "free" wireless Internet is too limited to be useful. Paid service is available, but it was slow compared to our cellular Internet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very nice, scenic park, and everything was very clean and well maintained. We stayed on the grassy sites away from the river and found they were a bit too close for comfort. The way the hookups are arranged, you park your rigs facing in opposite directions so that when you open your rv door, you are facing the adjacent site's rv door - no less than 10' feet away - forget about awnings. The park has nice walks along the river, a little beach and a great, fenced dog park. My big complaint though is the wifi system. It is operated by a private company, you pay for it, and it just didn't work! We always got a very strong signal(excellent) but could not access the internet at all. It seemed there was very limited bandwith available unless you tried in the middle of the night. Very frustrating. A nice park, but I wouldn't consider staying here again unless they fixed the wifi problem. I've had it with parks that advertise wifi and don't deliver. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Another KOA out in the middle of nowhere and just the thing for a one night stopover. The two folks who run it are a real hoot - leftovers from the sixties - who were very kind and funny too and made a point to give us a lovely site. There is direct access to the Colorado River here but the water runs fast so care is advised. Most sites have grass underfoot and trees overhead, which is nice, and when we were there in October it was very quiet - also nice. A number of people live here year round but the campground is extremely clean and well-kept - the camp hosts are doing a great job. We would definitely stay here again. But watch out for the fat Weimeraner - he's a pizza mooch! :) We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is located right on the Colorado River on the California side. It's about a 3.5-4.5 hour ride from LA depending on the traffic. It's clean and fairly well maintained. We came in rather late and usually KOA posts your site with instructions near the office. This was not the case here. We basically wandered the park until we found a spot. The only space available were in a flat grassy area. It was a full hook-up site and everything worked properly. We were only there overnight so it was fine. A security guard came by as I was setting up and we worked out all of the niceties. One thing to note. Remember I said a "grassy area" near "the river". Well, my ankles beared the marks of several mosquito bites in the short time I was outside hooking things up. If we had been there for several nights I'm not sure that hanging out outside would have been terribly fun. Still, it's right off of the 10 Fwy and it's easy on/off. There's a little noise from the freeway but nothing to be concerned about. This is Blythe after all and your A/C should hum loud enough to drown out any noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This used to be known as Destiny Riviera. It's a decent park. Staff is extremely kind and helpful. They escort you to the site; even offered to help us hook up. Sites are very narrow and close to each other. Most are not able to open awnings even. We went on Memorial Weekend. Were surprised to easily find two adjacent spots. Also surprised at the party vibe. There are a number of permanent sites. They were partying as well as the campers on both sides. Had a DJ all weekend. Heavy drinking and swearing. Everyone was really nice, and a few years ago, we might have been right there with them, but we all have young kids now and it wasn't the environment we were looking for. The River has a party atmosphere in general, so of course, so does the campground. The river itself was decent. Seemed like a great big launch spot. The cabins and permanent site were the only real river front (above). A few sites were just behind those. I wouldn't really call it riverfront camping, just near the river. No tents allowed on RV sites. The beach was small, but did the job nicely. Nice store, but not cheap. Pool was nice, not heated for those who mind. Just off of the freeway, but we never heard any noise from our site. I think we were in space C7. There are two sides to the park, I guess a north side and a south side, we were south (opposite of cabins, and tents). Campfires only permitted if off the ground. Probably wouldn't go back just because I know there are nicer places out there, but ok to stay if nothing else is available. Nor would I go to McIntyre. People said that's the party place to be (at least that holiday it was). Stopped by Mayflower on the way back. The beach was not fantastic, but the park was a lot nicer. Would prefer to stay there. People were tubing which was also intriguing (dangerous maybe??). And a lot cheaper. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This KOA is on the Colorado river on the border of CA/AZ. There are no RV sites (that I could see) right on the river, but we walked down to it and there was a nice sandy area that we walked along the river. There is a boat launch. There is a great fenced in dog run where your dog can run free which was thoughtful. The pull thru we had was wide and long, but not very level as the sites are very sandy from being next to the river. And I mean deep sand in some parts of your site. We never saw the bathrooms so I can’t comment on those, and they were quite a ways from our site. The trash wasn’t emptied enough and overnight some dogs or something got into it and spread it around as there were no lids on the cans. There were also some sketchy permanent residents. Overall, an ok place to spend the night if you’re on your way somewhere and there’s no where else to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Surely they have to be kidding with this place; over priced with poor service and no care for the campground. An open parking lot with storage; very unattractive. What Colorado River? Wire towers everywhere and right off the highway, so noisy we couldn't sleep. We didn't even unhook we knew we would leave in the morning. Had to stay the night after a long drive to get there. Return? We couldn't wait to leave. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is situated on the Colorado river with several pull thru sites that look out at the river. It is also located right next to I-10 which does cause some noise from the truck traffic. The sites are grassy, level and many have shade trees. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is an excellent area to walk a dog. The space between sites was excellent and all areas were very clean. There is a boat launch for the boating enthusiast. There are a few park models if you have visiting friends that overlook the river. You receive one hour of WI-FI free per day. Otherwise there is an additional charge. We stayed here for three days and would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very few campers were in the park when we were there, so it felt as though we were parked in the middle of a big grass pasture with a few trees dotted around. Terrific staff. Easy highway access. Laid back group of permanent residents. Clean. Right on the river, which was at its lowest, drought ebb at the time. Probably a great place for a family spring break when it has more water. Good place for an overnight otherwise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has changed names to Blythe KOA. It has cleaned up A LOT!! They are moving out the permanent live ins which makes for a much nicer park for all. They do have cottages on one side of the park which are waterfront however this park offers a beach, a large launch area and a unique walking trail to both sides of the Colorado River. Everyday the employees were working on new things to improve this park. We stayed in a Motorhome and the friendliest KOA staff we have seen-the evening couple not only were friendly, the husband helped hook us up! That is service that I have never found anywhere. We will stay here again when we pass through this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This used to be a park we liked a lot but it has changed. The riverfront sites we enjoyed in the past are gone - replaced by boxy little pre-fab "cabins" that block the river views for everyone else. Recently the park became a KOA. The new owners have cleaned the place up a bit but have imposed a big increase in fees. The rate on our pull-thru site was $55, by far the highest in the area. We will not be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Staff was friendly and helpful. The grass was quite dry, but they were watering and working on getting it green. There are a lot of people who appear to be permanent, but they were very friendly. There is a nice recreation room with some activities scheduled. Seems like it would be a nice place to spend a little more time. We will go back again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We made our first trip to the Riviera Resort. The resort was very clean and well kept. The spaces were big enough for my 34' double slide and tow vehicle. The pool and spa were clean the staff was very friendly. We went during spring break and the park was safe and well supervised. I saw no problems and was impressed with the quality of the campers at this resort. A great place for my family and I'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean, level, easy access. Clean warm pool and clean hot spa. Some long term spots but all were kept clean. I would stay again either overnight or for a few days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is under new ownership and some improvements have been made. We had a river view site and it was very nice. Office staff is friendly and site was spacious. WiFi didn't work from our site, that is hit miss at best with most parks but on a whole this is a nice park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, a little older though. Could use some refurbishing. Nice views and easy access to highway. Staff was friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The overall park was good facilities, personal etc. however we were disappointed that the river view sites are now park model trailer's that they rent and the renters park 2 or 3 cars in road making it inpossible to leave with out tracking them down. This park is under new ownership and is catering to the jet ski crowd. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here and visited Quartzsite from here. The sites are narrow, hard to navigate and poorly marked. The "front" row is on the Colorado river and pretty nice. A bit over-priced for the space and area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is gets crowded and with no real regard to any kind of rules as to where people
park their "toys", quiet hours, etc. It is very tight for large rigs. We would not go back there unless it was absolutely necessary. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pretty decent place. Our site was overlooking the inlet/river near the launch ramp. We were
there during the week so missed the boating crowd, as I heard it gets quite wild. Our site was very muddy as it appeared that someone forgot to turn off the
sprinkler that they move around to keep the grass green. Sites are dirt and grass. Office staff was nice and they had a nice modem area for the laptops in
the office/store. Personally don't think it is a "10", but we are not boaters either. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed here, and at Destiny's McIntyre (also in Blythe) many, many times. We have always been extremely impressed with cleanliness of both facilities, and the staff has been very friendly and helpful each time we've been here. It's very
convenient when driving back and forth between L.A. and Phoenix (they have another park there as well). Right on the river, lots of grass and shade at both
places. We highly recommend! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very poorly maintained sites. I had to have them cut tree branches before I could get into my site. Sites were not level. There was almost no space between sites. However, park is on river and pool area is very pretty. I would never go back!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed at Riviera RV resort and also McIntyre, both Destiny RV resorts properties. Riviera is an excellent deal and very well-run. The staff was terrific, from the front desk to the maintenance guys. I would defintely return, and recommend 100%! Great River views, great ramp, lots of GRASS and TREES, something you don't always see in the desert. They also have reduced rates during the week ($25.00). The best park for
the best price, anywhere in the area. Try them! We camped here in a camper.
One of the worst places I have every stayed. We were put out in the field where they had just burned off some trees and stuff. The sewer line didn't work and was over flowing. Not very friendly staff and some of the residents were down right rude. Tried to move close to the river into empty spots, but they wouldn't allow us to move. I would never stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has approximately 200 permanent sites with 8 RV sites upfront near the Colorado
River. There are another 12 pull through sites in the back of the park with 50 amp hookups. Tenters are allowed on the grass in front of the 8 RV sites and make it miserable with loud stereo's and drunken behavior. Low voltage is a major problem and Destiny refuses to fix the problem. I do not recommend this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at McIntyre Park. OK midweek, but by Thursday the jetskiers and wakeboarders start arriving and the place gets NOISY! On their site, they claim it is a quiet park. HA! Nice lagoon and ramp, but the lagoon is a madhouse on weekends.. Low voltage on weekends. Bathrooms not clean on weekends. We are still trying to get our electricity deposit back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A bit pricey when compared to the county park down the road, but there is a small store. No cable, but plenty of stations over-the-air. Can see the Colorado river from many sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park setting was nice as we were on the river, but that is were it stopped. There is a leash law for your pets, but that appeared to be only for those that camped short term. Those that rented sites by the month or the season didn't seem to have to follow the rules. There were dogs leaving deposits around our motor home as staff walked by and made no comment to the dog's owners. We were to have our motor home sewer drained on Friday attended at the office and was told that the person doing that would be by soon, that was at 8:00 am, there were four to be done that day. He showed up at 11:45 am so that day was wasted for us. Over all we got the impression that the sewer guy was doing us a favor. The office staff were helpful, but they couldn't seem to motivate the outside staff. The laundry has 2 washers and dryers that don't work properly. $2.00 to do a drying is just a little too much. The men's bathroom was closed for two days. Over all if you gave me free camping here I would go some where else and pay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I booked this park from reviewing there web site which I will never do again. There is not much good I can say about this park other then they did refund my payment. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First, if you use the pull throughs there are no sewer hook ups! The restrooms were nasty. There was a party going on well into the night and to say it was loud would be an understatement. The next day there were beer cans in the road and around the campground. It resembled a fraternity party from Animal House. There are ant mounds everywhere. If you can overlook these things it is an OK overnight stop. The roads to the park are very good but once in the park it is very narrow for a big rig. Once you register you have to circle the store and you had better be good to squeeze around to get back to your pull through site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice older park which is basically a full time trailer park with some RV sites. Most of the trailers are second homes and occupied just part time. Facilities are old but well maintained. No sewer hook up but staff will empty your rig with honey bucket trailer twice a week. Sites are on grass and are level and spacious. Staff very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of those examples of a campground calling themselves a resort. They’re a lot of permanent residents here. They must call this Hidden Beaches because there are no beaches. There is a dirt mound between the boat ramp and dock they call a beach. The boat ramp is protected from the river currents, which is handy for loading and unloading your boat. They do have a nice store, which is also used by a lot of locals and day workers. This is a Passport America park however instead of cutting the price in half, they give you the basics for the price. They will charge you extra for electricity, WiFi, and sewer which will bring it back up to near full price. We would have stayed at the Passport America park around the corner but wanted a river front site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A OK stop between Indio and Phoenix. Friendly staff. Sites are not marked. Park on grass/sand. No reservations. But the park was only about 1/3 full. I took two spaces and parked in C11/C12 facing south to get good satellite TV. Very hard water so I did not hook up water but used water from my fresh water tank. The park is 'run down' with very little maintenance taking place. Speed bumps - ugh. But for $22 a day well! We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a great price, but it's difficult to figure out where to park. Roads going to campsites hardly exist, but the price is right and the WiFi is free. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice, quiet place to crash en route between PHX and Calif grandkids. Accepts PA (half-price) Oct-Apr, sure cannot figure out why not the whole year. It seems to be a boater's paradise, folks come with watercraft to launch on the Colorado River. We stayed here in both directions during Apr/May travels to visit the kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly and attentive. There are no sewer hookups, but the honey wagon arrives 3 times a week. This is not a resort and makes no such claim. The restrooms and showers were clean. The snow birders have created many activities that anyone can participate. Monthly rate of 250.00 including electricity makes this a incredible deal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice county park on Colorado River, just north of town. Park is all grass with sites clustered around utility poles servicing 4 RV's. Layout seems haphazard. Very friendly staff and residents. Hookups are electric and water only, but pumpouts are free 3 times a week. Very well kept grounds with good walking areas. Very good value for long term stays, only $250 a month, electric included. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was a dissapointment based on the 10 it received from a previous visitor. We found the grass sites very bumpy to get to in our motorhome, the electric hookup was 50 amp, but we had a "caution light" constantly on our SurgeGuard, and there were obvious "long termers" there for a long time...plants planted around, etc. It was very good for what it was, but don't expect a "10" resort or even an "8" RV Park. Nice trees, shade, river access for boaters. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a really nice County Park that is also a Pass Port America park. We paid only $9 for a 50 amp site with water. Beautiful green mowed grass, picnic tables. Shade trees. Huge park with hardly anyone in it. Right on the Colorado River. We will come back if ever in the area again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent 3-5 months during the last 3 winters here. Quiet and peaceful during the snowbird season. No highway noise. Bathrooms are old but clean. Honeywagon makes the rounds 3 times per week and is included for a week or longer stay. The birdwatching is good and there are mature shady trees,and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Staff, volunteers and visitors are friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
An oasis on the Colorado River, and very popular with folks staying awhile. Parking for the most part on the grass, with tall (Cottonwood?) trees all around for shade. Bathrooms not so great. Very reasonable weekly/monthly rates, friendly staff & campers - lots of folks there for the winter. A few miles to Blythe; nice desert town. Not too far to Quartzite, AZ (but a LOT more civilized) and the Arizona border is just a few miles away if you want to save $$$ fueling up. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a welcome discovery for us. We did not want to stay in Quartzite amid all the hoopla and dust and were pleased to find this county park along the Colorado River just a few miles west of the AZ-CA border. The water/electric sites are all crowded together in one area of the park and it was pretty full with snowbirds. We opted for a site in the no hook-ups area and had it pretty much to ourselves. Some of these "dry" sites have access to a water tap and the camp host had no problem with our taking a site where we could connect to one (although she did warn us that most people drink bottled water. We had a nice view of the river and beautiful old shade trees all around us. One caveat - this part of the campground is a little tight to maneuver in, but the sites themselves are spacious. It's the trees that you have to watch out for. They crowd the access road and some have low hanging branches. I'm glad they are leaving them though for in the summer they must provide very welcome shade. We saw lots of birds here and it was quiet and peaceful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice place, but dusty and don't drink the water. They should plant the fields around the park to keep down the sand storms. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was a pleasant surprise. Hidden just past some of the less desireable campgrounds Northeast of Blythe. The sites are all on grass, 50 amp electric and water, and very quiet at night. All the hosts were very friendly and the park was spotlessly clean when we were there. We liked the convenience so well we used it again on our way back through a week later. We camped here in a Motorhome.
