Dan's campsite in Havasu stands out for its peaceful and spacious atmosphere, where guests can enjoy privacy and tranquility. Many reviews highlight the host, Dan, as a key asset, offering great local advice and even guided activities like kayaking. The site is praised for its convenience, being close to town yet feeling rural and serene, with amenities like electric hookups and a fire pit. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few reviews note the non-potable water as a slight drawback.

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!

Super Host

24 ft travel trailer · With pets

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.

Rare camp, close to everything.

16 ft travel trailer

We felt so lucky and privileged to stay at Dan’s Hipcamp. It’s a magical place. We could see the sun rise and set over the desert. We saw burros grazing a hillside. Dan gave us directions how to find desert lilies at the wildlife refuge up the road from his place, and we got to see not only lilies but other gorgeous flowers and beautiful views of the Colorado River just before it enters the reservoir. We also visited the nearby Castle Rock Beach and dreamed of kayaking there (preferably without our four skittish dogs who come along with us everywhere). Dan’s property is truly a rare find: close to everything, spacious, private, easy to access, and just perfect for us. We are already looking forward to coming again and wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you Dan very much for your hospitality!

Hiking, Water Activities with a Dog

24 ft Class C

We recently had the most incredible stay at a HipCamp RV spot (full hookup) in Lake Havasu! From the moment we arrived, the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, offering tips on local hikes and places to paddleboard. But the real highlight? His adorable little dog Chase, who quickly became best friends with our pup Morti. Watching them play together was an absolute joy! The RV spot itself was fantastic, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. And the location couldn't have been better – just a stone's throw away from the beautiful Lake Havasu, where we spent our days soaking up the sun and enjoying water activities. But what truly set this experience apart was the genuine warmth and hospitality of our host, Dan. His friendliness and attention to detail made our trip unforgettable. Plus, exploring the nearby trails and stumbling upon fields of wildflowers added an extra layer of magic to our stay. If you're looking for an unforgettable camping experience in Lake Havasu with an incredible host and furry friends to play with, look no further. This spot deserves every bit of its 5-star rating – we can't wait to come back!

Easy access into this place with our 27 ft RV. Clear check in directions. My kids loved looking at the horses in the neighbors yard and the burros down the street. We walked to the lake and enjoyed a mellow camp fire. Highly recommended.
