Pleasant Harbor Marina & RV Resort
Overview
Pleasant Harbor Marina & RV Resort offers a premier waterfront experience on the shores of Lake Pleasant. This expansive destination blends rugged desert beauty with aquatic adventure, providing a unique escape for travelers seeking more than just a standard parking spot. With over 250 full-hookup sites, the resort serves as a vibrant hub for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a well-maintained, resort-style atmosphere while exploring the heart of the Sonoran Desert. It is a destination that captures the essence of Arizona’s unique outdoor charm.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Peoria, Arizona, the resort is located on the southeastern shores of Lake Pleasant, a massive reservoir in the desert. The surrounding landscape features rolling hills, iconic saguaro cacti, and wide-open horizons. Its proximity to the Phoenix metro area makes it easily accessible, yet the location is remote enough to enjoy starlit nights away from light pollution. The marina setting ensures the water is always the central focus, providing a refreshing contrast to the arid surroundings.

The resort is thoughtfully designed for comfort, featuring a large clubhouse with a swimming pool and a relaxing jacuzzi. Practical needs are covered by modern laundry facilities and private showers, while the on-site Dillon’s Bayou Restaurant offers convenient waterfront dining. Key features include:
- Full hookup sites with 30 and 50 amp service
- Direct access to boat ramps and fuel docks
- Dedicated pet areas and walking paths
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the park gates, Lake Pleasant Regional Park offers miles of scenic hiking trails, such as the Wild Burro Trail. The lake itself is a playground for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing for striped bass. Popular local activities include:
- Exploring the harbor with flyboarding or boat rentals
- Visiting the nearby Peoria 83 District for entertainment
- Stargazing in the clear desert night air

Gunfire (probably on adjacent BLM), three parties around us, like competing raves, music past quiet hours, parties at 3 am and what sounds like atv parades. Short on security staff on Thanksgiving weekend. They must cover not only the resort, but also surrounding land and the marina on holiday weekends. The staff are doing the best they can, but I think for the cost of staying at the resort, they should have dedicated security staff just for the resort even on holiday weekends. It’s part of being in the hospitality business.

Rude and incompetent staff treats customers like scum. RV rental rates are raised 20% every 6 months, and they keep adding on more and more required deposits just to stay there. It's not worth it! A very expensive and unenjoyable experience. Do not do business with these people.

This place used to be a nice spot to camp with your family and go boating. We were worn by family and friends not to come out here any longer. Too many people out here party until 2 o’clock in the morning and no security to take care of the issues is ridiculous. We will not be coming back

What was meant to be a weekend getaway to test our “new” camper for Amateur Radio trips became so much more—the camper never came home, and neither did we! Lake Pleasant RV Resort quickly became our home away from home. Over the years, we’ve made lifelong friends and enjoyed weekends, holidays, and even entire summers here. The resort has something for everyone: a sparkling pool, clubhouse game nights, regular adult and kids’ activities, and unforgettable golf cart parades. Summer dock slips are a bonus, especially with family living right on the lake. Lake Pleasant RV Resort isn’t just a place to park your RV—it’s a vibrant, welcoming community. Huge thanks to Jeff and the RV staff for making us feel at home for all these years. We look forward to many more fun-filled, family-filled visits!

This place is fantastic they have it all. They even send a propane truck around to fill everyone up. What a great thing to do. Security is always watching. Super safe
