Island sites have 180-degree lake views, and the park marina rents boats so you don't need to own one. Fall weekdays are the sweet spot: cooler temps, migrating birds, and almost no weekend boat
No potable water at the sites means hauling in everything you'll drink, cook with, and wash up with. Add no showers, porta-potties only, no cell signal, and no pets allowed, and this is a hard pass if roughing it isn't the point of the trip.

Located 8 miles north of the City of Laughlin on the Nevada side and 10 miles north of Bullhead City on the Arizona side of the Colorado River. Lake Mohave resulted from the construction of Davis Dam which spans the Colorado River below Hoover Dam, a portion of the Boulder Canyon Project. On the Arizona side of the river and managed by the Mohave County Parks Department (1-877-757-0915) is Davis Dam Camp, a campground and day use area well appointed for the physically challenged angler and also has boat launching facilities, numerous campsites, RV hookups, and picnic areas. Davis Dam Camp was built to house the workers who constructed Davis Dam. A few of the original camp buildings remain, although they have been altered. Available fish species include rainbow trout, striped bass, and catfish. The City of Laughlin has numerous casinos, lodging, eating establishment, and entertainment.<A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/projects/Facility.jsp?fac_Name=Parker+Dam">Parker Dam</a> and <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/projects/Facility.jsp?fac_Name=Davis+Dam">Davis Dam</a> (originally named Bullshead) comprise the <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/projects/Project.jsp?proj_Name=Parker-Davis%20Project">Parker-Davis Project.</a>
Take US 95 south from Las Vegas about 30 miles, east on State Highway 164. Parking is available near the dam site but, <b>as of April 2004, the roadway across Davis Dam is closed to all vehicles; pedestrian and bicycle access to the dam is still allowed.</b>
Compare with similar sites, watch availability, and build a packing list — Camp Sage handles all of it.
Fall offers the best combination of comfortable daytime temperatures (typically mid-60s to mid-70s F in October and November) and cool, clear nights in the 40s and 50s. The lake calms after summer thermals and before winter cold snaps, migratory birds are active, and crowds thin after busy spring weekends so those 12 boat-in sites feel truly secluded. Expect fewer afternoon storms than monsoon season and good water levels. Late fall through early spring (November to March) stays mild for hiking and fishing. Summer gets very hot and brings heavier boat traffic and day-use crowds, though families still camp then. Shoulder months like October and April split the difference: warm but not extreme, with lighter crowds than peak winter RV season.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.

Boat-in campsites are boat-access only and provide basic site furnishings: a picnic table and a fire ring. Most sites have portable (porta-potty) restrooms; boats and rentals are available from the park marina.
