Lone Tree Dispersed Camping

Found a nice level spot easily, there were plenty of other RVs/rigs but didn’t feel cramped for us. There was trash down in the washes and some of the fire pits that we saw. Our phones kept going into SOS mode here with the occasional flicker of one bar LTE. Otherwise, it was a quiet and peaceful night minus a little road noise from the highway but that didn’t bother us.

There is room for everyone in any typ of camper, bus, trailer, van, school bus 5th wheel, Class A etc. Quiet. Spectacular sunsets. Very windy when we were there (as was the rest of Arizona and Eastern California. So no campfires but there are pits and rings set up all over when weather permits. Someone came by inspecting and fixing gravel when we were there. Clean and quiet just enough away from hwy 95

Had a hard time deciding 3 or 4 stars...you can decide.
OHV allowed to drive here.
Lots of trash. Many people leave their broken tents, coolers, and garbage behind.
There is an actual Camp Host here, but their job is mainly to make sure people don't get out of hand.
It was quiet at night, and the people we came in contact with were very nice. It feels very safe.
People were considerate and had dogs on a leash.
If there wasn't a trash issue, it would definitely be a great spot.
Cell service with Tmobile non existent. We have a hotspot and booster and got some coverage.
Great location to town and everything Lake Havasu has to offer.

Very nice place.
Pros- large places to stop, 4 bars AT&T and Verizon. Close to town.
Cons - although there is a sign clearing stating 14 day stay limit, there are many who are using this as a permanent camp. There is a man who has a motorcycle trailer for hi bike and a cargo trailer he is living in, and has been here for more than 30 days, and at least 10 others around the perimeter who have set up for a long haul and have made this area their home base. One guy in a Minnie Winnie has a lot blocked off with rocks preventing areas from being used and has been here for at least 30 days. Also, on the weekends there is a lot of 4 wheeler an side by side traffic (which is livable as they are polite). People don’t seem to even think that the BLM office could shut this area down, especially as they leave trash and waste behind them.

If you are thinking of boondocking near Lake Havasu City, this is our first choice. (Cattail Cove is a great full-service campground, but it's usually fully booked online.)

As you pull in off the Highway you'll see other rigs parked at random. We found a great space by heading in and then angling right, towards that "3-Finger Rock" and camping near the edge of the ridge. There is some early morning road noise, but not bad with coffee. It is surrounded with nice natural vistas while the location is just a couple of miles up the road from Walmart, Home Depot, Loews, etc., etc.. If you need any RV part, a great place is London Bridge RV parts. (Try to make the very knowledgeable, attractive, lady owner smile. Betcha can't.)

First off, we ended up here by accident for spring break, so I had low expectations coming into this. When we disperse camp we like to be actually dispersed... but it was late in the evening, we couldn’t get last minute reservations anywhere, and it was our first time in the area.

I was actually pleasantly surprised because for as many rigs squeezed into that area, it was so quiet. With our four children we were probably the noisiest ones. No music, parties, and people were considerate with their generator hours. Most people had to jack up a side pretty good to get level, and we did too.

Internet signal (upload and download) were fantastic. Hubby could work and all the kids could zoom at once for school.

The next day we could see lots of other boondocking places along both sides of the road as you head into Lake Havasu. Not all were listed here on Campendium. We were already unhooked so it would have been a pain to go move, but scout around the area if you don’t want cozy neighbors.

The Walmart 7 minutes away has a big water refill station in the back by the dairy 29c/gallon. We filled our 7 gal containers there.

The only complaint I had was one morning the wind was blowing and the exhaust of multiple generators around us got in our trailer and caused massive headaches. It was also breezy enough most afternoons that we couldn’t keep our awning out. It would be a very toasty place to stay in the summer.
