Pristine spot in the middle of the desert. 15$/night for camping, 10 spots. Shower, restrooms and garbage bins. Great for a refreshing swim

Great place, not too crowded. You can easily find a shaded spot. I love that it has a lot of parking and bathrooms.

Watch out for the burro "patties" is what I want to add to the conversation. Also leaving anything outside especially anything "tasty" or even only salty like wet clothes is a bad idea as the burros love to chew on such items. T would also caution about fire bans and the sometimes high winds that come through the area especially with nearby thunderstorms. Not guaranteed, but the burros often like hang out here around the campground and the lake. Limited shade but drinking water available here which is much better than the surrounding area which mostly is boondocking. We visited May 2025.

One of my all around favorite places to camp in the Winter. $75 for a years pass that is also good for 5? other campgrounds in California. Two week limit per 4 weeks. Bathroom and showers and fresh water. Last year I videoed a nice Bobcat along the lakeshore and this year I managed to catch a few Raccoons swimming. No ATV’s allowed and paved dead end location means lower dust and quieter (when the noise polluting generators, A/C units, and heaters aren’t running).

Wear shower shoes. Could use a restoration. Good price. Not an easy hike from N Florida Flats. Take the dirt road to the trail next to the electric generation plant. The road is the long way. And inside the guard rails. Don’t walk the road.

Love to stop here for a few weeks each winter. $15/nt or $75/yr with restrooms and showers ($1 token for 8 minutes). Wild Donkeys sometimes pass by at night. Much of the road here was replaced this year!! Update: Be aware that this location is having electric and water issues so there are no services at this time. Update 3/25 : Road was paved and all services were restored.

An Oasis in the Yuma Desert. Purchase a pass from the camp hosts and enjoy swimming and boating on the lake. Hiking and bike trails are posted. Flush toilets, potable water, and hot showers for a dollar token. The boat ramp has a spacious solid ramp.

TK Jones campground is one of the best in the area.

my experience at this campground was very pleasant! having the availability of temp controlled showers, clean restroom facilities and access to nearby watersports attractions are worth a thousand words! I definitely recommend visiting this place!

This is my 4th season wintering near Yuma AZ and TK Jones at Squaw Lake is my favorite campground. The sunrises are wonderful. I would have given it a 5 star rating if it weren’t for the shower situation. You need a $1 token but the token machine is often broken and the hosts may be on a break.

Very cool place. Peaceful & nice water views

Used to be my all time favorite place. What a difference bad camp hosts can make. I left the below review last year, but this year was worse camp hosts are Power hungry Nazis . We were harassed by them first thing in the morning. We had already paid and set up camp and they wanted us to move our vehicles even though we were literally the only people there, They came back and harassed My friend when she got there telling her to pay right away, which she was going to do anyway. She just got there. They locked all of the bathrooms, and the showers had used tampons and smelled like pee, probably because the bathrooms were all locked. Everything is overgrown, and there are mysterious barrels in the water. I talked to people who launch there all the time, and the bathrooms are always locked.

Beautiful setting. Unfortunately there's no electric so the bathrooms are closed. They say they are working on it but it has been 3 months. We still made the best of it and stayed two nights.

This is our 3rd year in a row camping here. The campsite itself is decent, clean, no water or electricity (which is expected for dry camping). Weather isn’t bad in Oct. We camped on one of the hotter weeks, but it’s not too bad when you are out in the water in the lake. Temperature is cool down significantly after 5pm and cool at night. There are few sand dunes in middle of the lake which is nice to hang out. However… 1. Be aware that our friend’s boat engine got stolen overnight. DO lock your engine if you park over night at upper lot. Lock away all valuables if you walk away from camp sites 2. ALL bathrooms are not in service except the one at Senator Wash Boat launch. They have an outdoor shower that DOES NOT need coin. Refill your water here too since camp sites have no water. 3. They do walk around to check for permit in morning. I personally do not think it’s worth it to pay $15 per car per night for camping with no bathroom. BLM land camping is the same and is free. 4. There are donkeys that roam around at night and make noises which can be hard to sleep. Their poops are everywhere. 5. A lot of mosquitoes and bugs so spray the heck away on you and around your tent. 6. There are big cockroaches (I really hate them) that can fly. They are just straight up terrifying to me but are harmless. Bottom line. Will not come back next year if they don’t open up bathroom and shower again.

Restrooms and showers are available in two buildings. Showers require tokens which can be purchased for $1 each, from a third building, for which you get a 5 - 7 minutes shower per token. There is also a boat launch and well marked camping spots. There are more picnic tables near the beach. Note 1: You must back your vehicles into the camping spots. Note 2: Be aware of wildlife which will enter camping and picnic areas.
