Best time to visit Buckskin Mountain State Park
The most comfortable months are October through April, when daytime highs are mild and nights are cool, making this a classic Arizona snowbird destination. Winter weekends and holidays fill quickly, so reservations are strongly recommended for RV sites. Spring and fall shoulder seasons offer the best balance of warm river temperatures and lighter crowds. Summer is very hot, with triple-digit highs common, but remains popular with boaters seeking the cool Colorado River.

Last minute family trip and I am so glad I was able to rent from James! The trailer was all set up for me with the AC on before my arrival. Trailer was comfortable and kept us cool in some of the hottest weather! Communication was good, and James was such a pleasure to work with!

We would definitely rent this travel trailer again! It was very well maintained, exceptionally clean, and exactly as described. We really appreciated that it was already set up for us, with the air conditioning on, so it was cool and comfortable as soon as we walked in. Communication throughout the rental process was excellent. The owners were responsive, friendly, and made everything easy from start to finish. We truly appreciated the care they put into their trailer and would highly recommend renting from them.

How to get to Buckskin Mountain State Park
The park sits on Arizona State Route 95 along the Colorado River, about 11 miles north of Parker, Arizona, and roughly 35 miles south of Lake Havasu City. Phoenix is about a 3 hour drive southeast via I-10 and SR-95, and Las Vegas is roughly 3.5 hours north. Oversized vehicles and vehicles towing trailers are not permitted to cross Parker Dam, so RVers should stay on the Arizona side via SR-95 rather than routing through California. The closest major airports for fly-and-rent trips are Harry Reid International in Las Vegas and Phoenix Sky Harbor.
