Davis Dam Camp offers a scenic desert camping experience along the Colorado River in northwestern Arizona, providing an ideal base for water enthusiasts and nature lovers seeking a peaceful getaway. Situated near the Arizona-Nevada border, this public campground captures the stunning beauty of the Colorado River valley while maintaining easy access to outdoor recreation and local attractions.

The area surrounding Davis Dam Camp is characterized by dramatic desert landscapes, towering canyon walls, and the calm waters of the Colorado River.

Beautiful camp along the Colorado River. Nice clean beach, one on north end, one on south. Full hookups, clean bathhouses and laundry mat. Laughlin casinos are 5 minutes away, and can be seen from campground. 40-45 minutes to area attractions. Liked it so much we spent 3 months there at $600 per month. Totally recommend Davis Camp .

The service well there isn't any service it's camping. I can tell you there is dry camping and there's also sites that have hookups. The area is beautiful the river is beautiful and when you camp there you are right on the river. Sometimes you have some friends that want to say hello and those are burrows and skunks. And neither one of them hesitate to walk right up to you. The bathrooms are clean. Their showers and latrines that are separate from each other. Whether your dry camping or whether you have hookups you still have nice bathrooms wherever you're at. Don't get me wrong they're not like hotel bathrooms but they're nice for a campsite. You can also fish right there on the river, there's picnic tables palm trees it's a nice area folks. It's a little pricey but what is a pricey today. It's only 5 minutes from the casinos but you're away from the casino life.

What's not to love? Where else can you park your RV or camper within feet of the Colorado River? Affordable rates, clean restrooms, showers, 2 beaches, watercraft rentals. Daily, weekly, monthly rates. Dog park. One of my top 3 campgrounds in Mohave County.

Beautiful well maintenanced campground. Very safe police constantly drive-thru day and night. I would give it a five stars but the customer service up front is inconsistent. Book online.
