Ridgeview Resort, Bullhead City, Arizona

     Our visit to Ridgeview was great.  The campground is very well maintained and improvements are evident.  We visited in the offseason as the park was fairly empty.  When we arrived the park set us up with a nice site, which offered evening shade, which is always a plus when the temperature is above 100 most of the day.  The sites are a mixture of sand and gravel and the roads are all paved.  To look around at the surrounding desert, you have to appreciate the amount of work that had to go into the campground to make it the resort that it is.  The facilities are very nice, especially the pool and spa.  

     The resort sits on a hill overlooking the Colorado River with Laughlin, Nevada just on the other side.  While at the campground we visited the casinos a couple of times but didn't do well.  We also took a 45-minute drive up to Oatman, an old mining town where wild burros roam the streets.  The old path of Route 66 runs through the town and it has become a fun tourist destination.

Grand Canyon Trailer Village RV Park

    Trailer Village RV Park, what can I say.  The best thing about the RV park is its location, right in the middle of the West Grand Canyon Rim National Park.  The RV park and the National Park are better described separately.  The RV park has over 100 pull-through sites of varying length and facilities.  We did manage to reserve a site long enough for our coach, but we had to cheat and park the dinghy off the driveway and in the camping site.  Actually, most of the sites had about ten feet before the next site began and it sort of felt like a parking lot, although there were trees.  The biggest issue I had, (and I’m sorry to admit this) is that there was no cell or Internet service.  At least not via AT&T.  However, we did find plenty to do without the internet.  But at the end of the day, it would have been nice to send pictures back to friends and family.  (with 5 million people visiting the Grand Canyon every year, you might think that the Internet would be a no-brainer) But like I said, the park’s greatest asset is its location.   From there, we could walk to the rim and follow it to the west to the end of the “tourist area” and take the free shuttle back to the campground.  On the second day, we walked the east end of the rim trail from the campground.  If you have a couple of days to spend in the park I would very much recommend this RV Park for its convenience.

     The one thing I can’t express enough about the Grand Canyon is its overwhelming awe power.  When we saw the canyon for the first time, it was truly intense.  The size and the beauty that just can’t be caught in a picture.  This is a place that everyone should put on their bucket lists.  We couldn’t get enough of it and fortunately the rim trail is several miles long.  Long enough to get out of the public from time to time and just enjoy its beauty for ourselves.  Not only is its beauty a great part of its attraction but the history of the canyon itself is very interesting as well.  We also took our car along the rim to the east twenty-five miles to Desert View Watch Tower.  Along the way we found several spots to stop and take photos of the canyon.  Unfortunately, we got there too late in the evening for things to be open, but just in time for the sunset.   The park is well maintained, most trails are paved and except for the east end of the rim trail, bicycles are not allowed.  The one thing I did notice about the tourists in the park is that they were more than willing to step off the trail and hang out over the canyon for the perfect photo shot.  It was pretty scary to watch at times.  The other thing about the park is that they don’t sell bottled water.  You have to buy their twenty-dollar souvenir water bottles and fill them with spring water from several different locations throughout the park.  However, they are not working until summer, so while there, in late May we were hard-pressed to find drinking water short of going back to the campground.  Overall, we loved the park and plan on returning often.  I would recommend buying $80 one year National Park pass that’s good for four people.  It’s $30 to enter the park each visit.
