    A great day on the water!
    Shelly R.

    Buckskin State Park is still cool. We miss the restaurant but the rest of the park is still cool. The boat ramp Is falling into the river also but we don't launch here so it worked out. The grass, landscape, and views are still one on the best on the river. The hiking trails are also nice, safe and protected from off roaders etc. it's not too far from River Island market which still has the wagon wheel pizza along with other deli favorites, alcohol, soda, etc. it is right actually the river from Big Bend Restaurant and bar which has live music, great food and the arcade that always made the old Buckskin restaurant market and arcade fun.

    Buckskin has great access to the Colorado River and well-maintained trails. There are beach access points all around the park, providing opportunities to fish, swim or paddleboard. I paddleboarded around the park and was stunned at the clarity of the water. It seemed like, even at the points of the river that were 20 feet deep, I could clearly see the bottom. There were a lot of drop-offs in the river with large patches of weeds that seemed like underwater forests. I saw one bass. In addition to all the natural beauty under the water, I also saw all the garbage that had been hurled into the river. Apparently, Arizona doesn't have enough "No Dumping" signs even though my wife and I always joke that there are "No Dumping" signs around every corner. Overall, it was a great paddleboard session. The trails at the park are quite impressive. Once you cross the bridge over the main road, the trails wind their way along the mountain ridges. The scenery is breathtaking, or oppressive, depending on how much you like desert mountains and the sun. Don't expect much vegetation. This system of trails is one of the best in the area.

    One of my favorite places. Gorgeous views wildlife and cactus garden. It's truly an oasis in the desert

    Beautiful wildlife

    Buckskin Mountain State Park is one of the most beautiful parks in Arizona. One reason the park is so beautiful. Is that the campground host keep great care of the park. The paid staff are absolutely amazing. Everybody at this park has done whatever we needed so that we could have an awesome day. The park is surrounded by the Colorado river. They have multiple showers and an outdoor sink. They have plenty of RV parking and dry camping as well. You can't beat the prices. Between $35 and $43. The refund policy is great. We come back each year. We have met people that have come back every year for 12 to 27 years. It is close to Parker Arizona, which has the Bluewater casino, Walmart, Safeway, post office, and other things. This is a must see.

    Had a good time In this little gem. Kids had fun at the beach and had a little picnic. Clean and well maintained grounds. Friendly staff and hospitality.

    It was a great place to camp out. There was swimming, hiking, and informative displays about the region. The restrooms were in excellent condition, the showers were hot, and there was a store there for any necessities. Great spot to spend a couple nights.

    Just returned from Havasu on Monday. Great place to camp. Rented a cabana on the end, for more room and it was nice. Great temperature for sleeping under the stars.

    Definitely a great serene campground that is usually quiet especially in summer when it's hot.

You will need to have a different set of criteria in mind before making judgement or reviewing! This is afterall a desert community. It's a desert community without lakes rivers or water filled rushing streams. Beauty in the Desert has been ignored by many through the ages. We disputed Quartzite for the day. We enjoyed local restaurants, businesses geared toward freeway tourists and historical sites. With an 8 year old in tow we wanted some active playtime before loading up to head home. He had a blast! This park is clean, visitors clearly value this and are able to see garbage cans and use them! Hip hip Hooray a win for us all! Two shade covered play structures were a hit! Badminton net was in good shape, there seemed to be bourse shoe set up, a ball field with a stage in the outfield promised good fun! A dog park has its own Yelp Page. Skateboard basics , Basketball and More Restrooms located north of the dog park at first worried me... and perhaps there are hot summer days when they could be but the brick structure was not offensive! Cleanliness and full Toilet tissue, commodes which flushed adequately were much appreciated! Good ventilation and the fact that the interior of the ladies room was well lit. These facilities are well maintained!

It is a safe park with two courthouses and the police department on the same street. You won't find a homeless problem here and no graffiti issues. Some of the things the park has to offer is a radio controlled car track, horseshoe pits, skate park, playgrounds, disc golf course, and even a fitness trail. The community has several functions in the park every year including a Veterans Day memorial event by the two big airplanes at the park's entrance. The park is open from sun up to sun set and several people use the park daily. The town does a great job in keeping the park up.
