I spent 4 days and nights here in an RV I rented from JC Rentals. It was a great time. The onsite showers and bathrooms were clean and well-lit for evening use. The general store was well stocked and the cashiers were all kind, friendly. The washing machines and dryers were great accommodations. I'd definitely visit the resort. It's just too bad the cafe employees aren't friendly. I'd never set foot in that place again.

Beautiful camp grounds right on the Colorado River. Had a great time with family and friends.

Have been going here for years. I had a death in the family and need to cancel a month before my reservation they will not refund my money claiming it is a holiday when it is NOT a holiday. I have gone here for years and will NEVER go back after how I was treated.

The lady that runs the restaurant/bar had some kind of vendetta against my daughter who had turned 21 in September of 2025 and has a valid California ID. She went to this resort over the Thanksgiving holiday with her boyfriend and his family. This lady refused to serve her and watched her like a hawk, all while not carding other young people who my daughter knew were underage (because they were in her group). The cook/boyfriend got involved and made a scene. Everyone was booing and telling them how unfair they were being. Spend your money elsewhere. Strange power trippers at this place.

The beach area is great! Perfect for families, not much of the party atmosphere. We had a great time.
