We stayed 1 night while traveling through the area twice during about a 3-month period on a return visit. Last stay was 4 years ago. The park is a short drive from I-40. The road between the Broadway St exit is in poor condition. The road between the W Park Rd interchange is in better shape but seems to only have access when traveling East. The interior roads are a mixture of concrete & gravel. The interior roads and turns are lined with fences and/or vegetation and vehicles parked along... Read More

We stayed 1 night while traveling through the area twice during about a 3-month period on a return visit. Last stay was 4 years ago. The park is a short drive from I-40. The road between the Broadway St exit is in poor condition. The road between the W Park Rd interchange is in better shape but seems to only have access when traveling East. The interior roads are a mixture of concrete & gravel. The interior roads and turns are lined with fences and/or vegetation and vehicles parked along the lane of travel so maneuvering larger RV’s requires attention & skill. The sites are a mixture of back-ins and pull thrus. The parking pads are generally gravel with a small concrete patio. Some of the P/T sites were long enough to say connected to a toad. Sites are narrow due to the vegetation lining making it a tight turn to get into them and creating very little margin of error to open slides. Some of the vegetation includes Oleander which is toxic if consumed. The park was built on a slope. There didn’t seem to be any effort to tier the sites so they were generally not level. Some of the sites appear to be extended stay sites. They have full hook ups – water, electricity (50/30 AMP), & sewer. The connection was towards the rear of the sites. The sewer connection was slightly above the ground & uphill but didn’t connect. There were quite a few trees scattered throughout the park and around the perimeter so satellite reception would be dependent upon your site and dish configuration. Was able to get DISH programing with a portable dish sitting on the ground. The park information didn’t mention anything about cable or broadcast channels. Was able to get OTA channels from Las Vegas & Phoenix which included the 4 major networks using an Winegard AIR 360+ roof mounted antenna. The park provided password protected WiFi was acceptable for checking email & the weather. Didn’t try our NET10 phone so don’t know about their reception. There was one designated fenced pet area with a gravel and artificial grass surface located in a corner of the park. There were bag dispensers and collection stations for waste in the fenced pet area & around the park. There was sufficient area to walk dogs along the park’s roads but there was at least one aggressive dog that charged the road and only stopped at the end of the tie. Difficult to make a choice between the KOA next door and this park when traveling through the area not much of a difference but this park has an early check in fee unless waived by the owner.

We have stayed here twice. Once in a pull thru and the last time in a back end for monthly stays. Backins are nice unless you are as long as us(43 ft). It was difficult to get our rig into space 62 because there is a fence in front of this spot but it was the only 1 available. Pete was great in helping any way he could by makeing the entering and leaving of the spot not so nerve racking. Great people at this park. On Thursdays it's donut morning.

There is a Dollar General in Needles. There is a great Chinese restaurant and The Wagon Wheel just over the overpass. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice people! We changed travel plans last minute and called the day before heading this direction to bypass Los Angeles after hearing how horrible traveling the I-5 corridor through LA is. (and are very glad we did!) Person on the phone was very nice, when we arrived the next day the person who greeted, checked us in, and led us to our site was very nice.

Relaxed atmosphere, nice vegetation between rv sites, if we didn't need to be somewhere it would have been nice to stay for a bit. Close to the freeway, but we seldom heard any traffic noise and even then it wasn't enough to disturb anything. Didn't use the restrooms so can't comment on them, but based on what we saw expect they'd be in good shape. It's a nice quiet location what appeared to be a mixture of snowbirds and traveler's like ourselves. Everyone we encountered were friendly with a wave or "hello". Would definitely stay here again if we travel this way again!

OUt of all the campgrounds where we stayed, the Desert Inn was in a class by itself. The host was absolutely helpful and kind. He even spent the time taking us directly to our camp space. The setting is almost like a mirage, a spot of green and water in the midst of the desert. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this campground and to recommend it to all my friends!

Privacy between 8' Oleanders with level packed gravel pull thrus and concrete pad. Private and quiet with a great night sky and desert view. Very nice restrooms, clean, private and next to the heated pool. WiFi worked well at the rec hall. Close to food, gas and highway but quiet and fantastic residents with sharing hearts and great conversation.

The owners are such helpful, happy people and always offering a helpful tip and, in my case, the last steak at their pot luck dinner! Shopping and casinos nearby in Nevada and Arizona. Definitely a place to spend a night or ten! I highly recommend this park, you won't regret it. Well maintained, courteous, quiet and just what the doctor ordered.

We visited Needles in May 2018 and stayed at the Desert View RV park for 2 nights. It is the most beautiful RV park we stayed at during our entire 2 month trip. The pool looked wonderfully cool and clean the laundry room was very clean and the machines worked as they should. The RV sites were perfect because they were so private. The blooming oleander bushes were beautiful and separated each site from the ones next door. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stay there.

We looked at other parks near by & they had the best shade/privacy. Everyone was nice & though fairly full the park was pretty quiet. The pool was clean and refreshing in the 100 degree heat. It was fairly easy to get into our site with our 44 foot toy hauler. I would stay here again if passing thru Needles again.

Needles is on the Colorado River at Interstate 40. This puts you at the intersection of California, Arizona and Nevada. This is a nice RV park with mostly pull through sites. There are mature shrubs and trees separating the sites giving a degree of privacy but the site itself is fairly narrow with no patio or fire pit. There are the usual facilities: full hookups, bathrooms, showers, pool, community room etc. The bathrooms are spotless and well maintained. Most driveways and site pads are... Read More

There is free WiFi but it was spotty from our site but reliable from the community room. Good service and friendly people. We paid $195 for a week.

Very quiet location near I40. Beautiful palm trees, well maintained and clean with thick oleanders between sites. Concreate patio pad at each site with plenty of room for slide outs. We took a drive and looked at the other RV parks in the area. We would stay here again. The office staff were very nice.

What a beautiful park! We planned on staying here for just one night, but we ended up staying for a week. There are tall oleanders in between each site that provide a lot of shade, one of the few rv resorts I've seen that actually have shade and some privacy in between each spot. They have a dog run, a little fenced in area to let your dogs run around, and a lot of people in the park seem to have dogs they walk around, very dog friendly.

The community seems very active and friendly, there was a pot luck for St. Patrick's Day which was an awesome surprise. The bathrooms, shower and pool were all very clean and well maintained, we wouldn't have made it through the heat without that pool! Also, there is really pretty landscape around the park with mountains in the distance all around you, needless to say the sunsets here are gorgeous! We will definitely be staying here again.

My wife and I planned a stopped at Desert View RV Resort for 2 nights and ended up staying 2 weeks. The park operators are very friendly and helpful. The owner of the park is a good person who really cares about his place and tries to ensure your needs are met. The spaces were plenty big for our 27' rig with one slide out.

Every spot have trees separating each RV from one another, which gives good privacy. There are a lot of activities to do with other RVer's in the park. They put on different types of tournaments through out the week. Most were snowbirds escaping the north cold. Everyone we met were so friendly. This park is very pet friendly with ample room to walk your pets. The spaces were level and easily accessible. Bullhead/ Laughlin are about 25 miles away, but an easy drive. There are several places to eat in the area. Satellite is easy to acquire. The only downfall with this park is the internet service (slow), which they admit on the phone. They have great rates when staying a week or longer. We will stay here again when back in the area.

Friendly staff, Well Organized & attractive RV Park. Landscaping between sites adds privacy but a busy place. Nice community room, clean laundry room. Would stay again

Nice open park with trees between sites for added privacy. No tall trees, so satellite access is available from most sites. Spaces are a little narrow for larger rigs with multiple slides. Would stay here again.
