Willow Beach, AZ - Info needed

Considering visiting the RV park on the Colorado River. The RV park is supposed to be fairly new with full hook ups. Great Striper fishing, rental boats, not far from Hoover Dam and Lake Mojave.

Any info on this place besides what I described? Anyone ever visit and can share first hand knowledge?

Those who have traveled to this area......

What is best route in terms of good roads, traffic, and overall travel time?

Leaving from the Beaumont area and was wondering which route is preferred.....

1. 10 East to 95 north at Quartzite and then 40 East to 93 north to Willow Beach

or

2. 15 North to 40E to 93 north

or


3. 15 north to just before Vegas and head east on 93 towards Henderson and the down to Willow Beach

    FYI for those of you that haven't been on US93 in this area for a few years... US93 no longer goes over the Hoover Dam, there is a new bridge that bypasses the dam and all the curvy roads to and from it.


    Yeah, I should have been clearer about that. It even shows it on my iPad map. That new bridge is pretty awesome. It has been pointed out that it can get windy - an understatement - in that area. I would presume they occasionally close it to high profile vehicles. Might be worth looking into. And, I'd agree that short of fishing & general boating, there's not much.
