The Colorado River is one of the largest and most popular bodies of water in the western United States. It stretches along parts of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California and Mexico. It begins in Rocky Mountain National Park and ends at the Gulf of California. There are several lakes that the Colorado River pours into as well, such as Lake Havasu and Lake Powell. The potential places to visit along the river are so plentiful that RV'ers could plan months and months of vacationing. Whether visitors enjoy river rafting, water skiing, fishing or simply relaxing in the great outdoors, the Colorado River offers something to do for everyone.
There are tons of river resorts that lie along the Colorado River that are designed for RV camping. In every state that the river crosses through there are fantastic resorts. Guests get a feel for desert, mountain or a fishing lifestyle; the resorts are full of many people who have found that regularly visiting or living full-time alongside the majestic Colorado River is a dream come true. Most of the RV camping resorts have a wide array of amenities, such as RV hookups, round-the-clock security, bathrooms, barbecue pits, family centers and swimming pools.
Maybe travelers prefer taking their RV to more remote, less crowded locations. Considering how long the expanse of the Colorado River is, there are many places to camp. National and state parks are a great starting point when searching for a campsite geared towards a more quiet and private experience. There are some locations that are only accessible by boat or along unpaved, backcountry roads. Travelers can also park their RV and take a small fishing boat so that they can camp at one of the islands in Lake Mead.
At basically any RV campground along the Colorado River, visitors can go fishing, rafting, boating and hiking. At most of the RV camping resorts, guests can take guided tours of hiking trails, get involved in group activities, and use provided facilities, such as resort clubhouses.
Some of the resorts offer top-of-the-line luxuries for those who wish to indulge. At many of the RV camping resorts there are not just swimming pools and Jacuzzis, but there are places where guests can golf, gamble or take seaplane rides. In addition to having RV campgrounds, there are resorts with cushy hotels and nice cabins located nearby.
