The park is limiting water use, and recommending that you fill your tanks and bring your own. Bathrooms and showers are open, but they are asking campers to use the park water sparingly.
Otherwise, great place. At the foot of Picachu Mtn, great views north and east across miles of desert scrub, I-10 and lots and lots of iconic Saguaro cactus. Sites are large so do not feel crowded, and while access to I-10 is easy and close, it is very quiet. Pretty much anything from tents to the larger class A's fit comfortably. Flies were a bit of a bother, but hey, this is camping and the sunset/sunrises are stellar.

Another very nice NM state park. It's a fairly long run off the highway, but the road is fine. Sites aren't exactly level or on the water, but they are clean and well spaced. From our side of the camp loop there were a couple trails that ran toward the water, but didn't actually reach a beach. Still, all in all, another very nice state park.

A really nice state park, pricey but clean with large spots, perfect if you're a mixed equipment family group. Many of the spots, especially those in the inner part of the loop closest to the river have room for tents, trailers, boats, etc. But come prepared, we've stayed in the fall and early in the spring in past years and this year so far in June and August. We've had windy conditions every time, from just annoying (10 - 20mph) to not quite hurricane force (gusts to 50+ and sustained around 30mph), but enough for white caps on the water. When we camped in spot 11 in June the wind was strong enough to unspool the slide topper, with the slide closed! I thought it was going to tear it off as it kept unspooling with the force of the wind and then snapping back. I'm sure there are calm days on this part of the river, but take a look at the wind turbines on the hill tops along I-90 before you drop to river level, they're there for a reason.

Another nice Arizona State Camp. Motorhomes, 5th wheels and tents all find comfortable places here. We didn't get any cell service (T-Mobile) and the camp wifi doesn't extend much past the half dozen sites closest to the entrance. There's not much shade but the little cove on the Colorado is deep blue and very inviting. Some noise from Hwy 95, but nothing too bad.

Nice place, quiet and right on the river. Other reviews spell it out pretty well. It is a little off the highway, but close to town. Google's suggested route was convoluted at best. From I-90 I think Hwy 2 and 291 W to Rifle Club Road might be better/easier for bigger rigs.

We grew up in T.O. and Camarillo and as kids drove with our parents on this very part of the highway, before it became a campground. Many times since, we have driven past on the new section of highway and wanted to pull off and stay. Had to move to Seattle before we did :). The highway is a little noisy and you are pretty tightly packed nose to tail, but just a few steps further west from your rv door and you're on the beach. Hard to beat. No hook ups or services provided other than dumpsters for trash. Ventura is close and has all the retail outlets you'll need. Camping is by reservation only through the Ventura County website. You'll find the rangers particularly helpful in making or extending reservations when they are onsite. Be aware that getting to the beach involves scrambling down the rock sea wall (there are no stairs)... easy to moderately difficult depending on how spry and stable you are on your feet. Depends on the dog of course, but some may have difficulty with the big rocks. We just fit with our 35' motorhome and our little Honda FIT parked perpendicular to the site. If you are bigger, it looked like sites 4 through 18 were wider (they're next to a concrete sea wall) and some longer 5th wheels were backed in diagonally to fit.

This is a very nice place. Quiet, well run and clean. Bathrooms/showers were exceptional. Sites were large enough and with ingenious positioning, some were screened from the neighbors. Not all the 30/50a rv sites have sewer hookups, something we really didn't notice when we booked, but it worked fine anyway for our 4 night stay. Close to the west entrance to Glacier, but an easy drive to White Fish and Kalispell too.
It is a bit of a hoof to the east side locations. We drove around to the south on Hwy 2 outside the park and took the cut off Hwy 49 between Hwy 2 and Hwy 89. Narrow and windy, but the views along the way are worth it. Bigger rigs (if not prohibited... I can't remember now if there was a length limit) will struggle on Hwy 49. We drove the dirt road out to Many Glacier and came back on the Going to the Sun Road. A nice mostly full day loop. Be sure to get your permit at recreation.gov if you plan to drive the GTTSRoad, or enter the park before 6a or after 5p.

We stayed one night on the way back home, just 2 days after the campground opened for the season (4/24). Not a soul in sight, no host and no other campers. Fine by us, it is a nice place, right on the river. Easy on and off I-84 at the junction with OR Hwy 244. Primitive camping in that there are no hookups, but otherwise clean well spaced asphalt sites with lots of trees and grass. A bit of road noise from the highway, but the rain on the roof pretty much drowned it out overnight. In the am we followed I-84 northwest through the mountains, and within about 2 miles (and maybe a few hundred feet of elevation gain) were in the snow. Road was of course fine, but new snow along the road from the storm overnight.

Now a Conserv Fuel station, it's convient, just off the Simi Fwy 23 at Collins in Moorpark. Cost was $8, much better than the only other place nearby (Thousand Oaks) with a dump station... they want $20. Bring your water hose as they don't provide one.

Another nicely located and well maintained Az State park on the river. Pretty setting, great access to the river and good trails to hike. TMobile was problematic in the park and wifi, while available, works best when you are in the sites closest to the river front bathrooms where the antenna is located.
