Long, graded dirt road leads to desert campground centrally located north of Interstate 8 on California - Arizona state border near Yuma, AZ.
Lower Colorado River campground has adequate space for tent camping as well as motorhomes. Vegetation makes for privacy at most sites. Tall tamarisk trees provide shade at some sites and sky view camp sites are located next to the cliffs. Recent wildfires have scorched some areas and river shorelines.
RV campers spend weeks wintering in the desert warmth and sunshine. Summer temps are often triple digit heat, so plan vacation time at this location based on weather reports for Yuma, AZ.
