A campsite

Camping here was beautiful! When you first arrive you check-in at the store that is located at Willow Beach Harbor. There are tent camping spots as well as RV spots. The Harbor has places to rent items for water activities on the river. There are food and drink items to purchase as well if you need any last minute things. After you check in they will tell you where to go to head to the campsite. Check in is after 2pm. It does get pretty warm here in the summer so make sure to bring sunscreen! The campsites have a picnic table and fire pit. Some of the campsites are up a bit of stairs so be aware of that when booking if you aren't fond of carrying all your supplies up stairs. You cannot park your car in the actual tent sites. There are parking spots labeled with the campsite numbers available nearby for you to park your car. There is also a bathroom, showers, and laundry facility. So there is everything you need! It made for a very comfortable camping trip! It was pretty quiet most of the time. Although, we did have a skunk visit our campsite a few times in the middle of the night looking for food. But other than that, nothing out of the normal. There is no service around the Willow Beach area. The campsite does offer wifi for one device with your campsite reservation. If you want to add multiple devices, you can do so for an extra cost. I would definitely stay here again!

Icy cold water but spectacular views of the Colorado River

This is an absolutely beautiful location that is clean and well taken care of. It costs about 25.00 dollars for parking (you can park here for up to 7 days). This place is about an hr. away from Laughlin and is well worth traveling too. My husband and I visited this destination to kayak Lake Mead in order to reach the famous Emerald Cove and hot springs in Az. What a magnificent experience being able to visit here, we highly recommend visiting here at least once in your lifetime. This beach has tables to sit (with shade) and has an area where you can swim. The water is cold but the hot sun will make it tolerable. In addition, there are other activities such as campgrounds, boating areas, a little restaurant and a store area to buy food. The prices /tax are Az so if you are coming from California you will really find it hard not to buy everything you see at the store. This is a great place for families to have a great time while enjoying the outdoors. We will definitely be back soon!!!

I've stayed here twice now. Campsites are meticulously cleaned, and groomed between bathrooms are nice they give you shower cards to access to showers that are free and unlimited. They do have Wi-Fi. My only complaint was that during this trip, my shower card wouldn't work, they didn't activate it. Camp host fixed it. also had issues with the Wi-Fi and had to go get a new Wi-Fi code from the office.there's absolutely no cell reception or shade.

This campground is so beautiful and if you forget anything you're right around the corner from the general store and they also rent kayaks canoes and paddle boards and motor boats there. There are spots you can fish and swim. The campgrounds have modern clean bathrooms and tents and RVs are not right next to each other. At night you will see shooting stars. Campsites are less than 40 dollars. Store employees are very nice. Water is very clear. I can't recommend this place enough, check out the pics!

Willow Beach is our go to getaway since it's so close to home. We stay in the RV camp spots and love that they are immaculate, well landscaped and semi private. We have rented pontoons and fishing boats and love spending the day on the river. Great place for all to enjoy!

Tent site E4 is up the stairs, built into the hill. Happy.my propane tank was not full.
Cindy M.

The tent sites here are terrible. You park in a parking site and then walk in to sites, many elevated with many stairs. You cannot sleep in your vehicle at tent sites due to shared parking area. Outside of the tent site issues, this is a very nice, serene, clean, well run campground. The RV sites are well laid out and nicely landscaped The campground is up the hill above the marina, affording beautiful views. Wifi is faster than my home wifi. Clean bathroom and warm showers. Marina store is well equipped and sells ice. There is also a burger stand at the marina. A gem.

It's a great camping spot. Clean and well maintained facilities. We had a view of the lake. I would definitely recommend the place.

Reservable campsites on cooler Mount Charleston were already taken, so we decided to go to explore Lake Mead. The campground was just minutes from Las Vegas and Henderson. The campground sites offered large sites with paved parking, picnic tables, fire pits, and close proximity to well-maintained and clean restrooms (flush toilets, sinks, running water. No showers). We were dry camping in a Class B RV -- so no hookups -- but the campground had plentiful water spigots and lots of sun to charge our solar panels. There was a mix of campers - from those tent camping to others in large RVs. What was particularly nice was that there was some vegetation -- trees which provided some shade and flowering desert bushes. Our site also had a lovely view of the lake, which was about a 20-minute walk from the campground. (We did not walk down to the beach but others reported that it's rocky). There's a Visitor's Center for the recreation area just a few miles down the street. We spoke with the knowledgable and friendly park rangers, watched a park film, picked up some literature, and bought a few souvenirs.

Even though we enjoyed our two day stay, I have to report that it is not worth the money…read more Our two night stay in a dome with tax, resort fee and all inclusive meal plan came to around $1,700. The domes are nowhere as nice a the website makes them appear. Getting a good view of the night sky requires sitting outside anyway. Once there, there really isn't much around. GC west and the Skywalk are about 10 miles away and you have to plan on about 45 minutes to get to the canyon rim as once you get to the GCwest entry point you have to wait for the shuttle bus to take you out to the canyon rim. Oh, and the daily entry fee is $70 even to just peek at the canyon. It was nice to be able to see the sunset at GC west and not have to drive all the way back to Kingman. But, not worth that kind of money. When I made my reservation, I toyed with the idea of booking a "skydome" for an additonal $500/night. That would have been the ultimate rip-off. The website makes it appear that you have a spetacular view of the Canyon. While you do have a view, the canyon wall you see is about 12 miles away and shrouded in haze. We hiked up to the "skydome" and I was majorly relieved I did not spend the extra money to stay up there. The bright spot in the stay was the camp host, Brenda. Shes a gem. She went way out of her way to make our stay as nice as possible. This included telling us at check-in that we really did not want to stay for three days as I had reserved and working to get us a refund for the third day. Unfortuantely, well fortunately for Brenda, and unfortunately for the rest of us Brenda is retiring in November. She will be missed. In summary, had this place been $200/night, it would be worth it. The price we paid, nope.

Stayed here with my family and we had an absolute blast. We felt so welcome, stars were absolutely…read moreBEAUTIFUL, and rooms themselves were clean and comfy. Animals were adorable and seemed really well taken care of. Thank you to the awesome staff who hosted us!

This is one of a few desert places which was not filled with junk and called it art. The place was…read moreclean and had art pieces scattered around. Some of the art were available to motel patrons only since it was in the motel compound. There was a cafe grill, looks interesting but I have not had a chance to try it. There was also a store which was not stocked to the brim but when you are parched and dry this looks like the perfect oasis for an ice cold beer. There are several day trip destinations close by such as Nelson, Walking Box Ranch, Mitchell Caverns and Castle Mountains National Monument. I only like to visit this area in the month of April and October when the weather is perfect. But this month of May has been cool and rainy. A ver rare exception rather than the rule.

I have been through Nipton a couple of times. I drove down one day in 2014 and had lunch at what…read morewas then a Mexican restaurant--the Oasis Cafe. The town has had its ups and downs--mostly downs--over the years. Once a mining area, the town has gone downhill since mining ceased. There are signs that the town is for sale. In 2017, American Green Inc., an Arizona based company bought the town for $5 million and had the intention of turning it into a cannabis paradise. The company struggled to raise the money to convert the town into this cannabis resort and sold the town in 2018 for $7.7 million--$2.7 million more than they paid to buy the town to Delta International Oil & Gas, another Arizona company. Nipton is a pit stop on the way to/from Lake Mohave and Lake Mead. You will see a number of boats and trailers with jet skis traveling the route between Nipton and the docking areas along the Colorado in Nevada. Since my last time here, the town has added three pieces of public art. I enjoy seeing places that install art. It's a draw for tourists. But now stopping at the Trading Post for a cold drink or restroom break seems to be what the town is best for. It's a little gem in the desert, but it generally won't be on your "to do" list another time unless you're using this route to get to the Colorado.

SNAP SNAP SNAP. Damn you wind. The wind snapped our tent poles and almost blew it away despite all of our stuff being inside of it. I'm pretty sure all the RV's parked around this campground were laughing at us and our epic fail. We tried pitching a tent for an hour, then we made a ghetto tent on the back of a truck bed...then we left. My review is very similar to Eric C.'s, but that's because we got pwnd together. I believe this was one of the windiest days of the year; not an everyday thing. This site is smack dab in the middle of the desert. There is SO much to check out around it, and it's untapped beauty is something you rarely have a chance to see in life...It is definitely the most beautiful hole in the wall you will ever see, and at $12 dollars a night for the campground it can't get better for that price (as long as you don't have 60+ mph winds like our group). CHECK IT OUT. And look at weather reports prior...
