<h2> See that lush oasis in the desert? It's no mirage, it's the Needles KOA. </h2> 
<div class="dotted-border-separator koa-yellow-font mt-3 mb-3"></div> 
<p> See that lush oasis in the desert? It's no mirage, it's the Needles KOA. At the edge of the Mojave Desert, hand-laid rock walls grace this surprising spot bursting with vibrant bougainvillea, eucalyptus, mesquite and palm trees. Historic Needles is close to the casinos of Laughlin, Nevada, and the scenic ghost town of Oatman, Arizona. There's plenty of life at this KOA, where the clubhouse (with a stone fireplace) is a popular gathering spot for potlucks, bingo, card games and holiday parties. The campground store offers award-winning salsa and red-chile marmalade. Stop by the gift shop for Route 66 items. <b>Pool: Open all year. Max pull thru: 80 feet. Your hosts: Bill &amp; Carla Sandberg.</b></p>

Needles KOA Journey in Needles, CA | Desert RV Camping

This park was perfect for our cross country trip . We were having vehicle issues due to the 111 degrees and the owner Carla gave us helpful information. The Park was well kept and easy access to I -40. We would stay there in the future and would recommend it as a friendly place to stay.
Five plus!👍

Clean, peaceful, accommodating, and affordable. A perfect one night stop during our trip from Ventura, California to Flagstaff, Arizona. Friendly staff and residents. Pool was clean and refreshing. Plenty of laundry machines and dryers. Great water pressure and temps in the bath house and the RV. Loved the dog walk area and the wild life. We saw three geckos, several quail, and a night hawk. All three of my kids loved the swings and the tether ball.

Nice place, laundry facilities, pool and sites are great.  The store with Route 66 items is awesome; staff is great.  Wonderful sun rises and sunsets.  We stayed in RV site 3.

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.  Campground was quiet and our site had a great view of the desert and city.  Bathroom was clean.  Price was reasonable.
This was our second visit and we will be back.  The location is perfect for our adventures.

We were tired after driving all day and needed a place to rest. Also wanted to watch football.  After dark we found that we had a view of town, excellent TV reception and a hot shower. -- Good stop, will put this in our travel journey and stop next time we are by. -- thanks

I loved this KOA for many reasons.
In the old style, they welcome everyone. Trailers of course, but also REAL tent people, vanners, and car campers too.
This is the best priced KOA I have EVER been too. Not greedy at all. I paid a hair over 30 for a pull in tent site with power and water and a wonderful shade tree. This site also had a picnic table, fire rings, and shaded pergola area for a tent. And its one of the best maintained that Ive seen. Been to a dozen so far.
The bathrooms were clean. The showers were hot and included. They also have a real sparkly pool that I would have gone in if it weren't for the overperfumed guests already using it.
The laundry area was nice. Wash and dry for reasonable amounts. The grounds were very well kept.
Theres a store open from 7-7 with all the necessary amenities. Wifi and clubhouse use is included.
And the staff were adept at their jobs and super friendly.
And its just on the outer edge of Needles, CA. Easy access to I40.
Id definately recommend this place and I will stay here again!

Great stop on my cross country trip.
Lady, last night, at front desk was wonderful,  helpful and very informative.
Sites are large enough for my big rig motorhome.
Easy entrance,  pull through and exit.
They had items i needed in the girft store, reasonably priced.

Definitely recommend !!

If you're just looking for electricity, they've got pull-throughs for $40 a night they also offer full hookup but I don't know the price. They also have cabins and tent areas, bathroom, laundry and a convenience store in the office. They have a nice pool if you're into swimming or cooling off during the hot days. Excellent customer service. After I dumped I remembered I needed to check my tail lights and sure enough a light was out. Their maintenance man helped me out and they had they had the bulbs I needed which was burnt out and when I asked how much they said nothing that they had used that pack to test somebody else's lights. So they got me back on the road with both tail lights working.

Beautiful desert KOA with scenic views and a pool. Honestly one of the best KOA sites I have had the pleasure of staying at. All the amenities you could want and the tent sites have a roof over them. Staff is very friendly. Since its in the middle of the desert I pretty much had the place to myself. Considering it was over 100 degrees during my stay that pool was a huge boon. This KOA is a very welcoming little oasis if you find yourself in the area.

I have stayed here several times. A convenient 1/2 way stop for an overnight to the next destination. However, the staff have been consistently abrupt, short of rude at check-in.  Granted, it was 108°, but the office was air conditioned.  The pull-through RV sites are somewhat level with very little shade.  Many sites are for residents or long-term stays. Convenient location to highway, also means traffic noise.  Will I be back, most likely not.  Not convenient to downtown limited services.

Older KOA.  Large csmpground, but all sites are dirt.  Trees are limited.  Does have a small dog park, but it's clean.  Bathrooms are clean but older.  Large swimming pool and the long term residents havr events. An okay place to stop but not for a longer stay.with us.

Clean and friendly! Awesome views. Wanted to stay but on a schedule. Definitely will go again. Everyone we had contact with was super friendly. An absolute must go destination 👍👍

This is my favorite KOA. It’s quiet. It’s clean. I think it has nice areas to walk dogs. The mail processing is professional and better than any park that I’ve been to. The staff are courteous and helpful. After being at the busy Tucson Lazy Days KOA, this was an especially relaxing stay here in Needles. Great views of the desert and surrounding mountains

This KOA is a desert Journey. Friendly and helpful staff. Good place for a stop
Over or if your into desert activities. The park is clean and well Maintained. There are showers and restrooms that are clean. Needles doesn’t have grocery store and the nearest is in Fort Mohave 13 miles away.

Stayed one night in our Class A MH with trailer. 72ft total length and they accommodated us to a pull thru site. Most sites were pull thru. Several tent sites too. Pool was open and there was an Air Conditioned activities center. Not very full this time of year, waiting on the snowbirds to arrive. Did not see a dog park but there was a play area for the kids. Free Wi-Fi was good enough for E-mail and Facebook. Easy in and out Satellite hooked up right away, Air antenna had several channels. Laundry and bathhouse, but did not use the facilities. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
