Nice RV resort, beautiful River view, however sites are small. Recommend coming before dark. Road is not well lit, near, winding and there are wild burros wondering on the road and we had no cell service. Verizon costumers had cell service

This is actually LaPaz Park! Always a great time. Camping, boating, water toy rentals. Full hook ups, showers, and restaurant on both side of the park. Right on the Parker strip.

We had a very bad experience at windmill resort We had made reservations a year ago and was not able to go this year So we called and asked if we could extend to 2025 We paid in advance When we tried to book it for 2025 they said not a problem So when we called and tried to get a spot he had given it away to somebody else I was in touch with Jeremy on a regular basis he kept telling me the computer would not let him do it I don't think it was very professional of him to do what he did he gave our spot away and we lost over a $100 in deposit In my opinion we should have got it all back because it was his mistake not ours Well I guess we will not be returning to that RV park anymore I feel I was taking advantage of not good

Beautiful location, the beach is sandy but once you get in a few steps it's really rocky and hard on the feet. Bring water shoes or cheap flip flops.
