Birders and bass anglers with a boat get the most out of this place. The on-site ramp reaches the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, canoe and kayak rentals are available, and bald eagles, wild turkey, and deer wander through campsites regularly. Spring weekdays are quietest and coolest.
Several reviewers flagged friction with neighbors, confrontations over noise, space, and general campsite etiquette came up more than you'd expect. Summer heat, afternoon thunderstorms, and persistent flying bugs compound a rough stay if your neighbors are already a problem. No c

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 offers the best combination of mild weather and peak wildlife activity. Daytime highs typically reach the mid-70s to low-80s°F with cool nights in the 50s to 60s°F. Migratory and resident birds, including waterfowl and Florida scrub-jays, are most active, and lake levels and water clarity are generally good for boating and bass fishing. Crowds rise on spring-break weekends but weekdays remain pleasantly quiet for hiking, paddling, and birding. Winter months (January through March) also draw campers for comfortable hiking and biking without heat complaints. Summer and warmer months bring high heat, humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, and heavy flying bugs and flies. Bring insect repellent, screens, and other measures. Several reviewers warned of persistent bug activity at times.
Peak season with warm days. Most facilities open. Reserve ahead.
