Blue Water RV Park
Overview
Blue Water RV Park offers a unique blend of desert beauty and riverfront excitement in Parker, Arizona. Located directly on the banks of the Colorado River, this destination provides a resort-style experience that caters to travelers seeking both relaxation and high-energy recreation. As an integral part of a larger resort complex, guests here enjoy a level of convenience and entertainment that is rarely found at traditional standalone RV parks in the region.
Location & Surroundings
The park sits within the stunning and iconic Parker Strip, a world-famous stretch of the Colorado River known for its vibrant atmosphere and scenic desert vistas. The surrounding landscape features rugged, sun-drenched mountains and deep turquoise waters, creating a striking visual contrast for every visitor. Its strategic location near the Arizona-California border makes it a central hub for those exploring the diverse recreation areas of the lower Colorado River basin.
Amenities & Park Features
Visitors have access to well-maintained, full-service sites featuring 30 and 50-amp hookups, which easily accommodate modern big rigs. The park provides essential conveniences like laundry facilities, clean showers, and reliable Wi-Fi for staying connected. However, the true highlight for most guests is the seamless access to resort-level amenities, including a private sandy beach, professional boat slip rentals, and the adjacent casino which offers multiple dining and nightlife options.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the immediate resort grounds, the Parker area serves as a premier haven for outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. Boating, jet skiing, and trophy fishing are the primary draws, but the land-based activities are equally impressive. Travelers can venture out to Buckskin Mountain State Park for scenic hiking trails or take a memorable short drive to the famous Nellie E. Saloon, known locally as the Desert Bar, for a one-of-a-kind off-grid experience in the hills.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideally suited for active boaters and water sports fans who prioritize direct and easy access to the river. It also serves as an excellent winter home base for snowbirds who appreciate having a full-service casino and various restaurants within a short walking distance. If you prefer a lively, social environment with plenty of on-site activities and modern conveniences over a quiet, secluded stay, this park will fit your travel style perfectly.

first of all we were so excited to check this place out..... then we physically went there , it was a mess. roads once you get into the park were in terrible condition. sites were a mess. exterior perimeter were piles of rocks and dirt.... we were horrified. rent may be cheaper but to be honest I've seen cheaper parks that looked way better. I'm so surprised considering this was park of the casino name and was so run down and shabby . not worth sorry and disappointed.

The park was nice the ladies in the office were nice when checking in. Last day there friends that came with us in their own RV went riding around on bikes needed to use the restroom near office not sure who the lady was different than when checking in but she wouldn’t let them use restroom “Oh we’ve had issues !!! No ! “ Shame on the lady Just because she judged them — You judge a person by character and actions not color of their skin Disappointed ! Was truly enjoying my time in Parker until then ☹️

Stopped overnight due to the hot weather. We were scheduled to stay in the National Park but due to the very hot weather needed to find electric. This park is part of a casino and the spaces are open to the sun. We were able to stay in one of the three spaces with a bit of sun. You can use the pool and restaurant at the casino, but it is a bit of a walk. There was a laundry but I did not use it. Staff was helpful and friendly. It is on the Colorado River and did have a beautiful view.

Very nice full hookup campground. Mostly seasonal or full time residents but they put the short term camping RVs nearest to the River. Campground on the Colorado River. Nice lady in the office. They sell ice. Nice bathroom and laundry. Only one bathroom so it was a long walk. No parking near the bathroom either. Large campsites but all back in. It is a casino campground but it is a long way to the casino, much further than I could walk. The River Willow restaurant in the casino was excellent, but a little pricey. Walmart and Safeway grocery nearby. Recommended.

Nice campground! Only $40 a night. Right by the river and owners place. Close 10 min walk to casino. Nice restrooms and showers and cheap laundry facilities! We definitely would come back. Nice ladies running the park! Ice cream social last night.
