Spacious, private, clean, fire pit and RV hookups; could ask for more. Thank you Dan for providing such a wonderful place for us.

If I could give Abi a million stars for hosting an amazing property, I would! Very well kept, amazing views (desert land/plants, sunset, night sky, sunrise, all of it!), beautiful artwork and mini trails, basically more than anyone can ask for at a campsite. My husband, dogs and I enjoyed camping here so much we plan to visit again. It was nice that the whole area was to ourselves, it felt very private and safe. Would definitely recommend!

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! 🌵✨

Such a special spot. I slept out under the desert stars in complete solitude (except for the company of jackrabbits and Joshua Trees). Place has vibey but not excessive artistic touches—perfectly representative of the environment. Good spot to camp and have a small fire. I really enjoyed my stay!

Oh my goodness this place! It was heaven! You need to be comfortable being remote because it really is just you. But the stars are so beautiful, the sunset was stunning and there is something so special about the peace it brings being so secluded. Roads are pretty rough getting to the camp but worth every bump aha.

Making the trip along Route 66 and wanted a camp ground and found this super private property with picnic table, fire pit and fun art sculptures! My wife and the dogs loved roaming the property and exploring around! The time we went provided a beautiful purple sunset, did have alittle bit of rain but that didn’t stop us! Very much recommend this inexpensive, get away camp site! Thank you!

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.

Pulled up to the mound in the middle of the property for views of the surroundings. Had the whole place to myself. Super quiet.

We tent camped for 3 nights and it was absolutely beautiful! It was pretty hot during the days so definitely recommend bringing extra sun shades / canopy’s. Very quiet and secluded which we loved. The sunsets and stars were amazing. Would highly recommend!

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.

Beautiful, charming campgrounds. Albeit feeling like “the middle of nowhere” once you brave the rumble of the dirt road you’re greeted by lit Joshua trees and a lovely common area. It was so quiet! Toilet is clean, with a lovely view. Will certainly book again if I’m ever needing a place while cruising the 40.

There is camping and there is the elevated experience that Abi offers. The site is more than we hoped for:
- The small kitchen and shade area was whimsical and practical. It felt like we were having dinner on a friend's patio.
- The outhouse was cleaner than any trail or state park bathroom I've ever used.
- The raised campsite area creates an ideallic view of sunsets and purple mountains and a platform for stargazing by the fire pit.
- We loved the nature trails that looped around the property. They enhance the desert experience. Our dogs loved all of the new smells and the freedom that most campsites do not afford them.
- There was so much creativity on this property: hidden curiosities everywhere you looked, warm desert colored designs.
- The campsite was very easy to get to, we live a few hours away and just wanted some unwind time. We had full phone service the whole time.
Abi's property sings while other campsites are unremarkable. She has found a way to convey everything there is to love about the desert - it's life, it's colors, it's creativity, it's freedom.
Truly, my husband and I will be talking about this two night experience for the rest of our lives.

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
