About River's Edge RV Resort

Campground in Arizona.

Nestled in the Colorado River valley of southwestern Arizona, River's Edge RV Resort offers travelers a gateway to one of the most unique and accessible desert landscapes in the American Southwest. Located in Winterhaven, this expansive resort with 480 sites provides the perfect basecamp for exploring a region where natural wonders, historical significance, and outdoor recreation converge in unexpected ways.

The Winterhaven area sits at a crossroads of exploration opportunities that appeal to diverse types of travelers. History enthusiasts will find themselves drawn to the nearby Imperial Valley, a region steeped in Native American heritage and early American settlement stories. The proximity to the Colorado River creates opportunities for water-based activities and scenic drives along routes that have been traveled for centuries. Birdwatchers and nature photographers frequently visit the region to capture images of desert wildlife and the distinctive landscape where Colorado River riparian habitat meets Sonoran Desert terrain.

For those interested in cultural experiences, the area offers access to several notable sites that tell the story of human settlement in the desert. Day trips from the resort can include visits to historic towns and cultural landmarks that showcase the heritage of the region. The mild winter climate makes Winterhaven an attractive destination during cooler months, when the desert becomes a comfortable place to explore on foot or by vehicle.

The surrounding landscape presents classic Arizona desert scenery with dramatic skies and wide-open vistas. Early morning and sunset viewing from the resort area can be particularly spectacular, with changing light painting the desert in warm tones. Photographers and artists find inspiration in the raw natural beauty of the region.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful winter escape, a base for outdoor exploration, or a destination to disconnect from the busier tourist corridors of Arizona, River's Edge RV Resort provides convenient access to authentic desert experiences and the slower pace that many RV travelers seek.

This place is awesome. Owners are great. Everybody is so nice. We have met a lot of good people. The facilities are great like a big pool 2 hot tubs which are cleaned every morning and chemicals checked. The bathroom and showers are so nice. We use to stay across the road at Sans End never again the place is going down hill fast. We have shuffle board horse shoes they have dances you can play bin... This place is awesome.

The bathroom and showers are so nice. We use to stay across the road at Sans End never again the place is going down hill fast. We have shuffle board horse shoes they have dances you can play bingo cribbage bunko and Texas Holdem. They have a really long dog walk. Paved roads no dirt roads like across the road. They have pool tables and a great big black and white checker board painted on the cement and big chess pieces and checkers. Would definitely recommend this place

Rivers Edge RV Resort is smack dab on the Colorado River. Right over the Arizona border in California! I stayed here during the winter of 2005. I have never forgotten how safe and welcoming it felt. I was a traveling nurse, traveling alone. I swam nearly everyday, as I worked nights and became one of the “Pool ladies.” One day I missed swimming because I didn’t feel well. The ladies actually came... Rivers Edge RV Resort is smack dab on the Colorado River. Right over the Arizona border in California! I stayed here during the winter of 2005. I have never forgotten how safe and welcoming it felt. I was a traveling nurse, traveling alone. I swam nearly everyday, as I worked nights and became one of the “Pool ladies.” One day I missed swimming because I didn’t feel well. The ladies actually came to my motorhome and checked on me. I used to love to shop in Algodones in Mexico and stocked up on my generic Prilosec. 😝 Yuma was a small wonder! Garden Cafe was my favorite for oatmeal pancakes with lingonberries and their Torture Cake! If you’re too full, get a piece to go and take it home and share it is huge. I have a tiny Mexican pottery plate with a rabbit 🐇 on it from Pica Flor in Yuma sitting on my mantel. And the old IHS Clinic I worked at had its own charm with date trees just outside, a visiting rattlesnake. The employee break room was the old morgue. I’m sitting here today with a cup of hot chocolate, my fireplace burning and it’s 8 degrees outside. My cup is from River’s Edge Pottery. I just wanted to say thank you for the memories. ❤️

Nice shady big oasis! Pulled in late had no reservations as it was an impromptu stop to see the area. Site was great for a 60ft pull thru. We booked online when we pulled in, after hours on a Sunday night. WiFi ended up not being able to accommodate our needs or wld have stayed a week. Enjoyed the huge outdoor lounge and refreshing pool, saunas and very clean bathrooms and laundry facilities. Lot... Nice shady big oasis! Pulled in late had no reservations as it was an impromptu stop to see the area. Site was great for a 60ft pull thru. We booked online when we pulled in, after hours on a Sunday night. WiFi ended up not being able to accommodate our needs or wld have stayed a week. Enjoyed the huge outdoor lounge and refreshing pool, saunas and very clean bathrooms and laundry facilities. Lots of info of what to do and see around the area rivers locally, But not at the Rivers Edge resort due to renovation and conservation efforts it looked as tho it’s been a project in the work for some time. Hard to tell what the goal is for visitors to see or enjoy besides dirt and a torn up rivers edge on the property. Being so close to the busy season of snowbirds arriving. The river was the pull for us to stop and stay. Then the WiFi got worse with not allot people there. Our 5G cld only make it through 1/2 the time. I see lots of renovations have been made on the web site. I wld suggest upgrading your WiFi boosters. We did enjoy our time here. Just some hiccups and unexpected pluses. We wld stay here again.

We arrived to a site that was not properly displayed on there site. They moved us and it was OK. All the sites are dilapidated. Broken cement or brinks. The site we where in was not cleaned of leaves etc. The park itself is poorly maintained. We tried to use the laundry room and machines did not work. The coin you need to use the machine was ko. So we had to drive to the laundry mat in town. Mayb... We arrived to a site that was not properly displayed on there site. They moved us and it was OK. All the sites are dilapidated.
