Big River RV Park
Overview
Big River RV Park offers a serene getaway on the banks of the Colorado River. Located in the quiet community of Big River, California, this park provides a mix of relaxation and outdoor adventure. Unlike the high-energy crowds often found in larger river cities, this destination maintains a laid-back atmosphere where guests can enjoy the natural beauty of the Lower Colorado River Valley. It serves as an ideal home base for those looking to combine water sports with desert exploration.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just across the river from Parker, Arizona, the park enjoys a prime location for riverfront views and easy access to local services. The landscape is defined by the striking contrast between the blue water of the Colorado River and the rugged Mojave Desert terrain. Its position in San Bernardino County makes it a convenient stop for travelers moving between Southern California and the Arizona desert, offering a cooler microclimate right near the water's edge.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is thoughtfully designed to accommodate a variety of rigs with full hookup sites and convenient pull-through options. Essential facilities include clean restrooms, showers, and laundry services to ensure a comfortable stay. Water enthusiasts will particularly appreciate these park features:
- A private boat launch for seamless access to the Colorado River.
- Well-maintained pet-friendly areas for walking.
- Spacious sites designed for easy maneuvering of larger RVs.
These amenities ensure that guests can enjoy the river lifestyle while having all the necessary comforts of a managed facility.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the water, visitors can explore the historic Parker Dam or head to the Emerald Canyon Golf Course for a unique desert golfing experience. Nature lovers often visit the Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge to observe local bird species and diverse flora. For those seeking indoor entertainment, the nearby casinos in Parker offer dining and gaming options just a short drive away from the peaceful tranquility found at the park.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an excellent choice for boating and fishing enthusiasts who want immediate river access without the noise of more crowded commercial resorts. It is also well-suited for winter snowbirds looking for a mild climate and a friendly, quiet community to settle into for the season. Whether you are a solo traveler seeking a peaceful stopover or a family wanting a home base for river activities, the park provides a balanced and welcoming environment.

Had a great stay at Big River RV Park recently. What really stood out was how well-maintained everything is. The grounds, the facilities – it all felt clean and well cared for, which always makes for a more comfortable stay. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot where they clearly pay attention to detail!

RV camping by the river for 3 weeks. Everyone there was friendly. We learned a new game called Washers and met new people from different states. This is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the different birds chirping and unforgettable views of the stars. People were fishing, jet skiing or just fishing. There are laundry rooms, clean showers and bathrooms. There is also a small entertainment room with books, games, movies, and tea or coffee.

After 7 years of rving...this place is the worst! The park doesn't support any activities. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years were not celebrated. The park maintainance people are very rude and don't do anything. Restrooms are always filthy. Electricity is off and on, NO water and the sewer always backs up! 50MPH on main road is required!!!! Drugs,drunks, and dust are very bad because no one waters the road. Maintainance people will run into the side of your truck and get away with it. Just don't tell the owners that the park paid for all damages. California people like this place. Not the NORMAL people. Don't waste your time and money at this place. There are a lot of cheaper and much better places than this just down the road. The people working here are scamming the owners out of some easy money. Especially the Camp Host. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
