Beautiful quiet small campground on the river. Easter Sunday and we're almost the only ones here. $7.50 with senior pass. Google first brought us on dirt farm roads south from Blythe, but easier to find from CA78.

There is no dumpsite. Actually, only dumpster for trash and picnic tables. Very bad cell reception, feel like $15 per night its away too much. You can cross the bridge to hippie hol, for free with no limit time.

Beautiful and peaceful location right on the water and easy access to OHV trails
Hosts are very friendly and helpful
We stayed three nights and definitely will go back
(We were told by the hosts that we can purchase a $75 annual pass from them which allows us to stay for 14 days)

Beautiful lake location. wonderful su sets and kayaking. Great biking and the Cortonwood Forest are not to be missed at the bird sanctuary. No water, a very friendly camp host, there is garbage container. 1 5 miles away is Hippie Hole and that is free and lots of space. This area is a bit unusual and if you need activities, it will not be optimal. There is traffic noise and a wooden bridge that can be noisy. Still, the noise didn't bother me. The camping is a bit close. so if your neighbor doesn't behave it will be an issue. we did not have any issues.

Hwy 78 south of Blithe, CA. One of my favorites, with trees, on a small bay of the Colorado R. $15/night. Fire ring, table, and clean pit toilets. Quiet and maybe 70% occupied. Quite hours 10pm. 3 Verizon LTE bars.

One of four campgrounds where you can stay for free with the $75 pass purchased from Imperial Dam LTVA.

Nice BLM campground directly on the Colorado River.

Nice camping ground with just a toilet house, picnic benches and some fire rings. Registration is done via envelope in a box. Quiet night, except for generator of one RV. 15$ per night per vehicle, 10$ for day use.

15$ a night campgrounds directly on colorado river. Loud motorboat noises but still nice.
