Boondocking near Lake Havasu City AZ

All the boondocking I'm familiar with in the havasu area is east of 95.

There are two nice BLM campground on the west side of the river. Might be of some interst to you.

Crossroads and Empire Landing.

there are 2 areas that we have used, the first is just coming into town before you get to the airfield, its a blm camp, its on the left side,same as the airfield. The other which is our favorite is about 15 miles south of town, before Parker Dam, called the 'STEPS' just dry camping not blm on the left, its an area they worked from while building the dam. Also on the way south from town you will see lots of area that people are camping, but a lot of ATVs in that area.......

Check out Avi Casino. It is in the area and very quiet and nice (well, from what we seen). Great river frontage activities!!!

Ok, it's dry camping in the dirt parking lot.

Last year I stayed at the BLM site 5 miles north of town. I liked the site, but not good for ATT cell, Verizon was OK. Great camp host, Mark was his name.

We have stayed at the area just north of the airport- I believe it is called Craggy Wash. It worked ok for us. Not much for view but it is protected from the wind. Some good hiking there but no tv and pretty limited cell service- as others have mentioned. Turn at the immediate north end of the runway and follow back in about 1/2 a mile.

when we go through there, we use the parking lot on the AZ side of the Riverside Casino. They run a shuttle boat all day and night between the shores. Casino workers park there, truckers park there, campers park there. We only stay two or three days. It's clean and quiet and the view of the casinos across the river is pretty at night.
Sam's Club is about half a mile south on 95..for fueling.

For a campground, we have used Davis Dam campground, just north of the bridge.

I have to apologize to all. I read Lake Havasu City and thought Bullhead City and I have no idea why! :E
