We stayed at River Sands RV Resort as part of a Fulltime Families Rally. We were given a special rate and stayed for a full month.

The campground is brand new and a few parts are still under construction. The sites are all large and the roads are easy to manage.

There is a fishing pond, a small playground for kids, a large clubhouse with games (pool, foosball, air hockey, etc) and a small gym, a heated pool, and direct access to the Colorado River.
