Our stay at Dan’s place in Lake Havasu City was nothing short of amazing. Truly! This was our first Hipcamp experience, and wow — the bar has been set so high. The location was peaceful and scenic, felt very private, and it was located just a short walk to Castle Rock Bay where our Florida dogs had a blast splashed and played in the water together.
Dan was a b*tchin' host too! He was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the area’s land and wildlife. We even went on a rock-hunting adventure through the refuge together at sunrise — such a truly unique and special experience!
The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire experience felt safe, beautiful, and welcoming. We only stayed two nights, but honestly, we could have stayed a month. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a genuine, nature-filled Arizona stay! 🌵✨

Where do I start… First off, Jen was a fantastic host who was super accommodating. I can’t describe how amazing her hospitality was even during the end of the season. I truly believe in in her mission for spiritual healing in nature, especially those who suffer from PTSD. Second, the property is amazing that is rich in history. There’s so much to do and see without the hustle and bustle of the busy holiday crowds. It is perfect for those who are trying to get away from the busyness of life even just for a couple days. The views were breathtaking. The hiking was fantastic and the lake was super close. Third, then the night sky at this property is absolutely stunning. Looking up at the stars never seen more clear than any picture book or video. My favorite part was the silence of the area during the night. It was the same as or better than a hyperbaric chamber. This was absolutely what I was looking for to reset my mindset after the memorial Day weekend. I absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

I had the best time camping at Almo Lake. The campground was beautiful, had a bathroom, shower, kitchen area. It had it all. I did tent camping but I’ll be back with cooler temps and I plan to stay in the clamping tent. They are nice! I had dinner catered 2 nights and the food was delicious! I rented a kayak 2 days and the lake was so peaceful. I saw lots of wildlife. I def rec this camp ground and will be back! Thanks for an amazing solo camping trip ❤️

Camping at Dan's place was as expected. It's a pretty simple lot where you can pull in, set up, and stay a night or however long will little to no work. It was a level spot and had electric hookups. There was a fire pit and picnic table too. I'd stay there again if I was passing through like we were on this trip.

I think the best thing to say is, "this the only place we'll stay in Havasu." From Dan the host, the camp site and the location it can not be beat. Thank you Dan for a wonderful stay.

Wow! What a beautiful area to explore! And Dan, such a perfect host. He’ll respect your privacy if that’s all you want, but if you ask or inquiry I’m certain he’ll be happy to take you kayaking/paddle boarding in the nearby Lake Havasu, which is very cool! We trekked through sea caves and saw a baby owl in the big cliffs bordering the river, and had a couple beers and good conversation with Dan while bass were jumping all around us.. Also if you are into rock collecting, which, prior to our stay I was not.. this is place is rock heaven.. Seriously, Dan will tell you all about it! Phenomenal stay, will likely return when life permits. Cheers, Dan!

The property location and campsites were awesome! Close to Alamo Lake and great scenery. Roads are a little bumpy on the ride in, so make sure to have a Jeep or other capable vehicle. The land has an amazing history, so be sure to take the mine and ghost town tour to learn more about it. Jen was a great host, and is extremely helpful with whatever you need. I would highly recommend this spot if you want to be a little more secluded from the crowds of the state park area of Alamo Lake. Can’t wait to go back, and next time I’ll take a telescope to view the stars in all of their splendor in truly dark skies you don’t experience near the cities. A+ overall experience.

This is a gem hidden in the desert. Ms Jen is a super great host with knowledge of the desert plants and wildlife. We had a super great time camping in one of yurt tents. The bed was better than a hotel. The showers and restrooms were a great addition to the area. Thank you so much

It was exactly what we needed. Our stay was perfect. Plenty of room for our motorhome towing our bronco! Lots of places to go off roading near by. Very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend! Our host Dan was great.

We arrived to a wonderful view of the perimeter mountains, desert scape and a friendly, helpful host. Dan gave us information about what trails to walk, with good knowledge of the area. We had the site to ourselves with a feeling of peace and security. The location is close to shopping, the lake and the city, with a feeling of rural life. The first night we witnessed what we thought to be a UFO, later finding out it was a rocket launch. Soo AWSOME. Thanks Dan for a perfect place to stay the week.

Dan was a great host and I was able to go for a hike out in the desert with him and his friend Roy. The site is very secluded with good views.

This was our first Hipcamp sight and we loved it! Dan was helpful before we arrived and while we were there. The site felt private and was quiet except for the neighbors chickens. But we enjoyed them.
Will definitely stay again!
