Mojave Narrows Regional Park sits along the Mojave River near Victorville at 870 feet, offering 88 campsites across 840 acres of high-desert greenery. The park has 38 full-hookup RV sites and 31 tent sites near two lakes, with fees running $25-$35 per night. An 18-hole disc golf course, year-round fishing, and a seasonal splash pad make this a family draw. Closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Weather and SeasonsThe park runs year-round with fishing available every month. Summer brings high-desert heat, when the seasonal splash pad offers relief and early mornings work best for trails and disc golf. Spring and fall deliver milder temps for all activities. Winter sees occasional cold snaps. Weather-related power outages happen often enough that staff recommend bringing a backup generator if you're running medical equipment or need guaranteed electricity.
Natural Features and SceneryThe Mojave River cuts a green ribbon through the high desert here, creating two lakes. Horseshoe and Pelican. Ringed by cottonwood and willow trees. The contrast is dramatic: dense riparian growth and open water against bare, arid landscape and distant mountain views. Over 1,500 wildlife species use the park, drawing birdwatchers who track migrants at the lakes. Broad meadows and pastures stretch between tree groves. Shade varies by site, with lakeside areas getting the most coverage and back loops sitting more exposed under the wide desert sky.
