We love to come into the Buckskin arcade and get food and ice cream for the kids. But my goodness do you think you could sink a few bucks into the arcade? Would it kill you to update the place a little? 90% of the games don't even work and i'm not making that up. It's ridiculous. Pizza is pretty good and that's the only thing that keeps us coming back.
Lots of great campsites with shade trees. Bathrooms with showers and plenty of hot water. Friendly park service employees. Close to the river. Will stay here again!
We stopped by to hike the trails and found the rangers very helpful.Mile markers on the trail signs would have been helpful.The hype about the view from Interruption Point was a little overboard. The area was fenced off and blocked some of the view, but I found more scenic spots along the trail.I had forgotten my hiking stick, but they had a supply available for a small donation.All in all, it was a good day for a hike and we enjoyed it very much.
My husband and I are staying in the RV park for a week; three nights so far. Some RV spots have full hookups and some have only electricity and water. The grounds are watered with a sprinkler system and feature green lawns and huge trees. The small camping spots near the river offer a great view, concrete ramada, picnic table and some electric, but no individual water hookup. The small community center loans books and movies and provided a great weekly ranger talk. Tomorrow there is a $1.50 ranger walk in the desert hills nearby. The hiking in the hills nearby is mostly uphill through fairly treeless desert hills. While on the hikes you get great views of the Colorado River. A lot of campers bring small kayaks. The park offers some small sandy beaches and a small swimming area.
Great views, fun folks employed there had a great stay . Too many crazy Ca. people in the summer months
We spent an afternoon here playing by the water and having a picnic with our two-year-old daughter and four-year-old son. We loved the view of the river and rock. Wasn't very busy in March, so the river didn't have a lot of traffic.
What an awesome state park! The Colorado River is on three sides and you have lots of trees as well. This is a pretty spacious park and the staff is friendly. Pretty level sites as well.
This State Park is located on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Colorado River below the Parker Dam. Sandy beaches traverse the park which is spotted with plenty of shade trees. There are plenty of activities available including volleyball, a playground and campfire. There are fees for day use and camping, but this is a beautiful location to spend some leisure time.
Spent a few nights in park on way South. Very full and found only spot right next to sewage treatment area. Well kept park. Lots of grass & mature trees along river. Nice desert hikes originating in park. Another RV park right across Colorado River on CA side. River so obviously lots of boats & jet skies but not a major detract ion. Would stay gain.
My husband and I booked a "cabana" campsite right next to the Colorado River for two nights in October. We were on a camping holiday and supposed to be touring the national parks, but the government shutdown changed our plans. So, we booked in here because it was on the river and we thought it would be peaceful and pretty. It wasn't peaceful. I will give it pretty.Unless you are totally into power boats -- and by that I mean the ear-splittingly loud race boats favoured by the NASCAR crowd -- do not stay here. The boats roared by non-stop from 7am until dark. I thought that nothing could be more obnoxious than jet skies, but I was wrong. Sleeping under a busy freeway overpass would have been quieter. We went hiking on one of the days -- walked three miles inland -- and we could still hear the roar. There was one small saving grace: the dark Arizona skies are gorgeous. If you like star gazing, the view is pretty good from the park. Kudos to the state park staff for keeping the grounds and facilities clean. We won't be back. Ever.
