Campgrounds near Mohave Valley
Mohave Valley sits along the Colorado River in northwestern Arizona, directly across from Needles, California and a short drive south of Bullhead City and Laughlin, Nevada. The area is a low-desert corridor at roughly 550 feet of elevation, with the river providing the region's main draw for RV travelers: swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, and beach access.
RV parks in the immediate area lean toward full-hookup private resorts rather than public campgrounds. Happy Together RV Resort and Moonriver RV Resort operate as 55-plus communities inside Mohave Valley itself, while Needles Marina RV Park, NorthShore RV Resort, and Fenders River Road Resort and Motel sit just across the river on the California side with direct water access.
Public camping options are farther afield. Lake Havasu State Park lies south along the river, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area, including Cottonwood Cove on Lake Mohave, extends north from Davis Dam. Both are practical day trips or overnight extensions from a Mohave Valley base.
Things to do near Mohave Valley
The Colorado River is the anchor activity. Guests based at Needles Marina RV Park, NorthShore RV Resort, or Fenders River Road Resort and Motel can launch boats, kayaks, and personal watercraft from or near the property, and river beaches suit swimming and shoreline fishing for striped bass and largemouth.
Off the water, Oatman is roughly 25 miles northeast on historic Route 66, a former mining town known for staged gunfights, shops, and wild burros that wander the main street. Laughlin's casino strip and the Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport are minutes north across the river. Mohave Valley Raceway, a one-third-mile dirt oval off Highway 95, runs regular Saturday-night dirt track events during its spring and fall season.
Further out, Lake Havasu City and the London Bridge sit south along the river, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area opens up hiking, boating on Lake Mohave, and access to Hoover Dam.

Mohave Valley has a hot desert climate. Summers are severe, with July highs averaging around 100 degrees Fahrenheit and afternoon temperatures regularly reaching 110. Overnight lows often stay near 80. RV renters traveling in June through August should plan for heavy air-conditioning use, shaded sites, and river access for cooling off. The North American Monsoon can also produce brief but intense thunderstorms in July and August.
Winter is the region's peak RV season. Daytime highs typically sit in the low 60s Fahrenheit from December through February, drawing large numbers of snowbirds. Many 55-plus resorts fill for the season, and sites can be difficult to book on short notice from January through March.
Spring and fall are the most balanced windows. March through May and October into November bring warm, dry days and cool nights, with low humidity and generally reliable river conditions. Reservations are still recommended on weekends and holidays.
How to book campgrounds near Mohave Valley
Private resorts around Mohave Valley take reservations directly. Happy Together RV Resort, Moonriver RV Resort, Needles Marina RV Park, NorthShore RV Resort, and Fenders River Road Resort and Motel each book by phone or through their own websites. Winter monthly and seasonal stays are common, and 55-plus properties enforce age minimums for primary guests.
For public options, Arizona State Parks handles Lake Havasu State Park through its central reservation system, online or by calling 877-MY-PARKS, with sites released up to 365 days in advance. Holiday weekends such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day carry a three-night minimum stay. Lake Mead National Recreation Area campgrounds, including Cottonwood Cove, are managed by the National Park Service and reserved through Recreation.gov.
For holiday weekends and the January to March snowbird peak, book several weeks to several months ahead.
What to expect
Expect a low-desert environment with little natural shade. Most private RV resorts in and around Mohave Valley offer full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service, paved or graded pads, laundry, and clubhouse facilities. Several of the closest options, including Happy Together RV Resort and Moonriver RV Resort, operate as 55-plus communities, so families with children should confirm age policies before booking.
Riverfront properties on the California side, such as Needles Marina RV Park, NorthShore RV Resort, and Fenders River Road Resort and Motel, typically include boat launches or direct beach access. Cell coverage along the river corridor is generally reliable on major carriers.
Bring sun protection, extra fresh water, and be prepared for strong summer heat that can stress RV air conditioners and tires. Fuel, groceries, and propane are readily available in Bullhead City and Needles.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Mohave Valley, AZ
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Mohave Valley?
RV rental in Mohave Valley is one of the more affordable ways to enjoy the Colorado River. On RVezy, you'll typically find travel trailers from around $90 to $160 per night, Class C motorhomes from $175 to $250 per night, and Class A motorhomes from $250 to $400 per night. Snowbird season (December to March) is the most competitive time, so booking 2 to 3 months ahead helps lock in better rates. For a cheap RV rental Mohave Valley option, look at smaller travel trailers and book mid-week stays. Pro tip: filter by Delivery to skip towing fees and let the host drop the RV right at Crossroads RV Park or Davis Camp.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mohave%20Valley%2C%20ArizonaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Mohave Valley, Arizona?
A regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Mohave Valley. Arizona does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL) or special endorsement for motorhomes or travel trailers used recreationally. To book on RVezy you'll need to be at least 25 years old, and your ID is verified through the platform during checkout. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home license along with an International Driving Permit if it is not in English. Most first-time renters in Arizona are pleasantly surprised by how simple the paperwork is, leaving more time to float the Colorado River.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I rent an RV in Mohave Valley?
You're covered from the moment you book. Every RVezy rental in Mohave Valley includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the Colorado River with peace of mind. The protection plan covers accidental damage to the vehicle, and during checkout you choose the coverage level that fits your trip, whether you're a first-timer playing it safe or a seasoned RVer keeping it simple. You select the plan, not the host. That means if a tire goes flat on I-40 between Kingman and Needles, or a side mirror gets clipped at Katherine Landing, help is one call away and your trip keeps rolling.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Mohave Valley RV booking?
Booking is low risk: RVezy sets the cancellation policy platform-wide, not individual hosts, so the same rules apply across every listing. Refund amounts depend on how far out you cancel and the circumstances of the cancellation. If a host cancels, you receive a full refund or travel credit. Pro tip: book early for peak snowbird months (January to March) when Mohave Valley fills up fast, then review the current cancellation policy on the RVezy Help Center before your trip so you know exactly what to expect.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV rental in Mohave Valley?
Absolutely, Mohave Valley is a fantastic dog destination. Filter for a pet-friendly RV rental Mohave Valley on RVezy and you'll find dozens of hosts who welcome dogs, often with cleaning details spelled out right on the listing. The Colorado River shoreline at Davis Camp Park in nearby Bullhead City allows leashed dogs on the beach, and Crossroads RV Park has its own on-site dog area. Lake Mead National Recreation Area also permits leashed pets in developed campgrounds and on most shorelines. Pro tip: summer pavement in Mohave Valley regularly tops 140°F, so walk pups at sunrise and bring booties or a cooling mat for daytime hangouts inside the RV's air conditioning.
nps.gov/lake/planyourvisit/pets.htmCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Mohave Valley?
Yes, and it's the easiest way to start your trip. Many RVezy hosts offer RV delivery Mohave Valley, meaning they'll tow the rig to Crossroads RV Park, Davis Camp, Moon River RV Resort, or a private property along the Colorado River. They'll level it, hook up water, sewer, and 30/50-amp power, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Delivery is a game-changer for a first time renting an RV, or if you're flying into Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport (IFP), about 15 minutes north. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see hosts, distances, and fees up front. Many include delivery within a set radius.
flyifp.com/How far can I drive on a Mohave Valley RV trip?
Plenty of room to roam. Most RVezy hosts in Mohave Valley include a daily mileage allowance (often 100 to 150 free miles per day), and some offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage upgrade for longer road trips. From Mohave Valley you're about 15 minutes to Laughlin casinos, 1 hour to Lake Havasu City and the London Bridge, 2 hours to Las Vegas, 1.5 hours to Kingman and historic Route 66, and roughly 4 to 5 hours to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Pro tip: if you're planning a big loop, message the host before booking to add a mileage package, it's almost always cheaper than paying per-mile overage fees at return.
nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Mohave Valley?
You have great options for the best campgrounds near Mohave Valley. Top picks include Davis Camp Park on the Colorado River in Bullhead City (full hookups plus a sandy swimming beach), Moon River RV Resort (riverfront with boat launch), and Katherine Landing at Lake Mohave inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NPS-run, scenic lakefront). For RV camping Mohave Valley with hookups, book the private parks 2 to 4 months ahead during the October to April high season. Pro tip: river-facing sites at Davis Camp sell out months ahead for spring break and holiday weekends, so reserve as early as possible.
parks.mohave.gov/parks/davis-camp/When is the best time to visit Mohave Valley in an RV?
October through April is the sweet spot for a Mohave Valley RV trip. Daytime highs sit in the comfortable 65°F to 80°F range, nights cool to the 40s and 50s, and the desert often blooms by March. This is also peak snowbird season, when campgrounds buzz with community events and the Colorado River is calm for fishing. May through September is hot, with daytime highs regularly hitting 100°F to 115°F, so summer visitors should book a rig with strong air conditioning and a riverfront site. Pro tip: late February through early April typically delivers warm weather, low humidity, and wildflower displays in the Black Mountains, an excellent window to book.
weather.gov/vef/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay in Mohave Valley?
You'll do great. Mohave Valley is one of the friendliest places in Arizona for a first time renting an RV. Roads are flat and wide, traffic is light, and most local campgrounds offer pull-through or simple back-in sites. Your RVezy host gives a hands-on walkthrough at pickup or delivery covering propane, slide-outs, the awning, water systems, and the dump valves, and they're a phone call away during your trip. SR-95 between Bullhead City and Lake Havasu is a relaxed cruise that's perfect for getting comfortable behind the wheel. Pro tip: book a host with strong reviews and ask about a delivery and setup option so the rig is ready when you arrive.
azdot.gov/adot-blog/safety-tips-driving-rvWhat happens if my RV breaks down in Mohave Valley?
You're not on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing. If something goes wrong on US-95 heading toward Lake Havasu or out near Oatman Highway, one call gets a technician dispatched. Your host is also a direct contact for quick troubleshooting and can often walk you through resetting a generator or inverter in minutes. Cell coverage along the Colorado River corridor and I-40 is generally reliable. Pro tip: snap a photo of the RV's VIN, plate, and fuse panel at pickup to make any roadside call faster.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Mohave Valley RV rental into California or Nevada?
Yes, and most renters do. An RV road trip from Mohave Valley naturally crosses state lines: Laughlin, NV is about 15 minutes north across the Laughlin Bridge, Needles, CA is roughly 20 minutes south on I-40, and Las Vegas is about 100 miles away. Travel within the US and Canada is covered under your RVezy protection plan, no extra paperwork required. Heads up: travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because coverage does not extend across the border. Popular routes include Mohave Valley to Joshua Tree National Park and Mohave Valley to Zion National Park. Pro tip: stop at the California agricultural inspection station on I-40 westbound, fresh produce can be confiscated.
cdfa.ca.gov/plant/PE/exteriorexclusion/How much should I budget for fuel on a Mohave Valley RV trip?
Fuel is one of the biggest line items, but easy to plan for. Class C motorhomes average 8 to 10 miles per gallon (mpg), Class A rigs 6 to 8 mpg, and a truck towing a travel trailer about 10 to 12 mpg. Arizona gas in Mohave County typically runs cheaper than across the river in Needles, CA, so fuel up on the Arizona side before heading west on I-40. For a 4-day local trip with about 250 miles of driving, budget roughly $120 to $200 in fuel depending on the rig. Pro tip: the Pilot Travel Center in Kingman and the Love's in Fort Mohave have the easiest big-rig access and consistently competitive diesel pricing.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Mohave Valley?
Earlier is better, especially for river sites. For RV camping Mohave Valley during peak season (October to April), reserve 2 to 4 months out at private parks like Moon River RV Resort. Davis Camp Park (Mohave County Parks) takes reservations well in advance and waterfront sites for spring break and holidays fill quickly. Lake Mead NRA campgrounds like Katherine Landing book through Recreation.gov up to 6 months out. Pro tip: if your dates are tight, message your RVezy host first, local hosts often know which parks have last-minute openings and can suggest alternatives.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232492What are driving conditions like around Mohave Valley?
Driving in Mohave Valley is refreshingly easy. Highway 95 and I-40 are wide, well-maintained, and rarely congested outside of holiday weekends. Elevation stays low (around 500 feet), so you won't deal with steep mountain grades like those on I-17 near Flagstaff. Watch for two local quirks: monsoon storms from July through mid-September can bring sudden microbursts with strong crosswinds, so pull over and wait them out, and the historic Oatman Highway (Route 66) is scenic but tight and twisty for big rigs, take I-40 instead. Pro tip: check AZ511 before crossing SR-68 over the Black Mountains during high-wind advisories.
az511.gov/What amenities do Mohave Valley campgrounds offer?
Local campgrounds are well-equipped for RVers. Most parks in and around Mohave Valley, including Moon River RV Resort, offer full hookups (30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer at the site), Wi-Fi, laundry, and pet areas. Davis Camp Park provides a dump station, potable water fill, beach access, and a boat ramp on the Colorado River. Katherine Landing at Lake Mohave has a marina, fuel dock, and a small store. Pro tip: confirm shade availability when you book, desert sites without trees can push interior temps up fast even with the AC running, so a 50-amp site lets both roof AC units run at once.
nps.gov/lake/planyourvisit/camping.htmWhat's included inside a typical Mohave Valley RV rental?
You'll be impressed by how well-stocked these rigs are. A standard motorhome rental Mohave Valley sleeps 4 to 8, with a queen bed, convertible dinette, full kitchen (stove, fridge, microwave, sink), bathroom with shower, AC, furnace, TV, and often a backup camera. Many RVezy listings include a generator for off-grid stays near Lake Mohave, plus outdoor speakers and an awning for riverside lounging. A campervan rental Mohave Valley (Class B) is more compact but still includes a bed, kitchenette, and bathroom. Most hosts include starter kits with sheets, towels, pots, and pans. Pro tip: check the listing's included amenities section and add-ons before booking so you know exactly what comes with the rig.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mohave%20Valley%2C%20ArizonaWhat add-ons can I get with my Mohave Valley RV rental?
Hosts make it easy to customize your trip. Popular RVezy add-ons in Mohave Valley include outdoor grills, camp chairs and tables, generators for boondocking near Lake Mohave, bedding and linen packages, kayaks or paddleboards (since you're on the Colorado River), and dump/refill service so you skip that chore at the end. Delivery and setup is the biggest time-saver, especially to Davis Camp or Moon River RV Resort. Pickup is usually at the host's home or near Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport (IFP), about 10 miles north. Most hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per day with overage fees beyond that. Pro tip: bundle linens, dump service, and delivery for a true zero-prep family RV trip Mohave Valley.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mohave%20Valley%2C%20ArizonaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. When you book your RV rental in Mohave Valley on RVezy, you pay through the platform with a credit or debit card, never in cash to the host. A refundable security deposit is placed as a hold on your card before pickup and released after the trip once the RV is returned in the agreed condition. The deposit is separate from your booking payment. To avoid issues, take date-stamped photos and a quick walk-around video at pickup and drop-off, return with the fuel and propane levels noted on your agreement, and dump tanks if your contract requires it. Pro tip: confirm the drop-off time window with your host to keep your deposit release moving quickly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow do I handle Mohave Valley's summer heat in an RV?
With a little prep, summer in Mohave Valley is genuinely fun, you're on the Colorado River, after all. Daytime highs from June to September often hit 105°F to 115°F, so book a rig with dual roof air conditioners and request a campground with 50-amp service (such as Moon River RV Resort or Davis Camp) so both AC units can run at once. Park with the awning facing east to block afternoon sun, and pre-cool the RV before the hottest hours (2 to 6 pm). Drive early morning and float the river midday. Pro tip: locals cool off at Rotary Park beach in Bullhead City and Telephone Cove on Lake Mohave, both have shaded ramadas perfect for an RV day trip during a heat wave.
