Birders and trail cyclists will get the most out of this place. Over 150 documented species, 15+ miles of trails, and a Great Florida Birding Trail designation make it worth the drive. Spring mornings before the heat sets in are the prime window.
No showers on-site, US 441 traffic noise carries through every site after dark, and the horse flies are a real problem in warmer months. Tent campers should also know that sandy sites can make staking tricky without extra gear.

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>

Spring delivers the sweet spot: daytime highs between 70 and 85°F, nights cooling to 55–65°F. Bass spawn during this window, drawing anglers. Wildflowers bloom along the pine flatwoods, and fresh green growth covers the cypress domes. Early mornings work best for birding before temperatures climb. Spring-break weekends and birding events draw moderate crowds. Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms and active insects, especially horse flies. Winter offers prime birding months with mild conditions. Year-round camping is possible, but pack serious bug spray and sunscreen regardless of season.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
