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.
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.
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.
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.
