Comments: We love, love, love this campground and wish all campgrounds were designed like this one. What we really like is the spaciousness, privacy, neatness of the sites, fabulous views, access to the river, and great cell phone reception. And the Laughlin library is just up the street should you need WiFi.

The casinos in Laughlin are about a ten minute drive from the campground where there is plenty of parking, plenty of restaurants and shops, and plenty of casinos.
