Riverland Resort
Overview
Riverland Resort offers a vibrant desert oasis situated directly on the banks of the Colorado River in Earp, California. This destination is well-known among the RV community for providing a high-energy, riverfront experience where guests can step directly from their campsite to the water. The park balances the rugged beauty of the San Bernardino County desert with the refreshing allure of the Parker Strip, making it a staple for seasonal travelers and families looking for a reliable home base on the water.
Location & Surroundings
The resort is positioned on the California side of the river, just across the water from Parker, Arizona. The surrounding landscape features dramatic desert vistas contrasted against the deep blue of the Colorado River. Visitors will find themselves in a prime location for exploring the Parker Strip, a 16-mile stretch of water famous for recreational activities. The area feels secluded yet accessible, offering a sense of escape within the Mohave Valley region, where the sun shines nearly year-round.
Amenities & Park Features
Riverland Resort is designed for those who love the water, providing full-hookup RV sites with views of the passing current. On-site facilities include:
- A private boat launch and dock system for easy river access.
- A convenience store for snacks and camping essentials.
- The Riverland Bar and Grill for social on-site dining.
The sandy beach area provides a perfect spot for lounging under the desert sun between boating excursions, ensuring every guest has access to the waterfront lifestyle.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the immediate river access, the Earp area serves as a gateway to diverse outdoor adventures. Guests often head to the nearby Buckskin Mountain State Park for hiking or visit the historic Parker Dam. Off-road enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to vast desert trails, while golfers can find several professional courses within a short drive. For a unique local experience, the famous Desert Bar is a popular day trip for those visiting during the winter months.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for boating enthusiasts and families looking for a social, water-centric vacation. If you enjoy a lively atmosphere with easy access to jet skiing, wakeboarding, and fishing, this resort is a perfect match. It is particularly well-suited for travelers who prefer having on-site dining and community social hubs. While it offers a great winter retreat for those seeking mild weather, its true character shines during the bustling summer months when the river comes alive.

Great site. Professional team. Get as close to the launch as possible if camping. If you’re renting a house, all are good check with staff.

There is nothing like the Colorado River and Riverland makes the visit even better. We pulled our travel trailer out from Poway, Ca and stayed river front in site B13. What a view from our large rear window! Riverland has as huge amount of spots and several bungalow rentals available. You can also have a rental rv dropped off here if you go that route. I don’t believe Riverland has RV rentals anymore. The store sits right next to the small lagoon and slide. The store is pretty well stocked with more items coming. A gas dock is also on site. Parker, AZ is just a five minute drive if the Riverland store doesn’t have what you need. You will also find bathrooms with showers and laundry facilities. The showers have hot/cold water and run on an on/off valve. Not the timed shower or lay shower you will find at other resorts. I will always recommend Riverland and will be back in July. Get out there! Enjoy!

The Riverland resort is an exceptional destination where the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. Recently, they have added a fun-filled play area for toddlers, complete with an exciting slide and jungle gym. During our stay for the past couple of months, my spouse and I have not encountered any problems whatsoever. Whether you are a weekend warrior or a long-term visitor, the resort caters to all your needs. While there are party-goers, they are generally courteous and well-behaved. For anyone seeking a peaceful and enjoyable retreat, I wholeheartedly endorse the Riverland resort. Moreover, they have a convenient storefront with a gas station for boaters. Their recreational room is fully furnished with top-notch amenities, including a complete gymnasium, billiards tables, a shuffleboard table, an extensive kitchen, and a generously sized TV.

Had an awesome time. The weather was very hot, and the water wasn't so cold. We come out every year and plan on doing it again next year. Staff was very helpful and curtious.

We had a great time. Our bungalow had everything we needed and was very clean. All the ground were kept up very well. We love horseshoes and they just happen to have a pit there. We are definately going back. All the people were very nice, too
