Needles Marina Park

I’ll start by saying for what we were looking for, we loved it. If I were looking for a higher end place that I planned on staying for a while & needed more amenities, I’d probably choose a different place. But, I’d also have to chose a different town.
We needed a place to stay over night, since my husband was too tired to continue, w/​late check-​in, for a good price. We paid $ 36 total for 50amp electricity & super high water pressure on a very clean & spacious pull-​through space. There were plenty of options for us even though we checked in after 1am. We called ahead & spoke to Lindsay (always call ahead to ask questions & get clarification), who was polite & provided very specific details on what to do, payment options & offered discounts. There are several ways to get discounts including leaving b4 9am the next morning & paying cash — see my attached pics for more details.
The park also included several things we didn’t get to use like the beautiful Marina, golf course, pool, a range of different size spaces if you check-​in during business hours or make a reservation in advance. There are some extra charges for using some of the amenities, so you should go directly to their website to review them or call in advance, so you are not surprised.
The owner’s name is Rick & he’s a good guy. We met him down at Juicy’s Restaurant (check-​out my Unilocal review on them for more details) & got a chance to speak to him & his buddy for a bit. They were super helpful & friendly. He’s a fellow Northern Californian, so he understood our plight. It was about 113° today. Might as well have been 160°.
This place is great if you enjoy water activities (on the Colorado River) or just need to get some sleep for the night, as it was very quiet.

Always love our time spent here at Needles Marina Park! Been coming here with our family & friends since 2006 and never want to go anywhere else during the summer to camp. We have met people here that have become a second family! The staff are friendly & welcoming! The pool is clean & a nice refreshing change from the river after a long day of sun. They have a laundromat on site and the restrooms & showers are kept very clean & stocked. The grounds are very nice & always maintained. They patrol the park at all hours for the safety of guests. The convenience store has all the small necessities you need! We never have any complaints about the park when we stay! This is our home away from home from May through the end of September!

This place blows. They charge $ 15 per day of access. That means if you launch your boat on a Friday and pick it up on a Saturday, it costs 30 bucks. The marina is also so shallow everywhere I now need a new prop.

Its been about a year and a half since I have stayed here. They are very friendly and the park itself is in a very convenient location. We have not been back because the prices here are a bit steep compared to some of the other parks and campgrounds in the area. They do have bathrooms and pretty clean showers if you are tent camping or whatnot.
