    Thanks Russ for showing BLM Havasu. Used to live in Havasu off north Palo Verde. I’ve raced Sara Park in 1985 with my three wheeler ATC. Also went to Havasu High. Thanks for sharing Russ. Headed to Quartzsite Jan 17th - 19th. Thanks for all the tips on Quartzsite. I was telling Facebook followers look out for RVerTV. Your the man Russ thanks.

    I spent two nights at Craggy Wash. The road twists around hills so by the time you get to the camping, the airplanes aren't much of a factor. Interesting place, but very crowded in Winter. Cell and TV reception were good. Guy ran his generator all night. Host didn't interfere.

    Never Camped at Havasu Heights or Lone Tree before, was interesting to see it. Love Lake Havasu for all their year long events, great stores, the Beautiful Lake, BLM camping and Hiking. Craggy Wash is My favorite for Camping and Exploring! It goes for Miles and you should have shown how gorgeous the Craggy Wash is. I hike all over it. The one behind Walmart is now State Trust Land which requires a permit to stay. ( Found that out at Jamie's Van Build when the police came in.)👍😀💗🏝🏜🚤🌅

    We recently stayed at a truck stop in Tehachapi. We like free, but there were two issues: 1-trucks run their engines during the night, creating noise. We ran our fan, and it partially drowned out the sound so it was tolerable. 2- lots of exhaust coming from the trucks. We could smell the exhaust inside our travel trailer throughout the night. Maybe next time we might be able to park more strategically within the truck stop

    Craggy Wash is actually down that road past the airport about a half mile I would say. It goes back a few miles. Pretty nice.
    I think there is State Trust land behind Walmart. You need a permit from the State of Arizona. I think the permit is $15 for the year. 14 day stay, just like BLM. Further South of Havasu on the East side of the highway 95 the is an ATV riding area where you can camp. My guess would be about 7 to 10 miles South of town.

    Hi Russ Just want to say I love your videos. And a word about Lone Tree. I'm a woman camping alone and I first stopped at the Havasu Heights BLM area to camp because I was tired and needed to stop. I was there for a couple of days without any problems. But my travel plans got completely messed up the day I was leaving for Sequoia Nat'l Park because of road closures due to a coming storm and I couldn't go "home" cause it was a blizzard in Flagstaff. So I went to Lone Tree. This was in May. There was no camp host. Just about four campers spread out and I never saw who was in them, They never came out. I had an emergency and had to go to the emergency room in town and couldn't find anyone to help. Had to unhook and drive myself. a few stitches in a finger. Then I found myself in a spot I hope to never be in again. I couldn't start my truck, the battery was dead. And my cell was dead. Found another SIMS card that had time left on it so,i called and got a truck to come out from Havasu to start it.
    The driver told me this place was no place for me,to,be. He said sketchy folks tend to hang out thete.
    Now to be fair, maybe its only when there is no camp host. I would not go back,thete in off season again.

    I have Drone Spark but I don't fly it much because of all the restrictions. I lived in a small town in the Ozarks of Missouri that has a small airport and live behind a hospital with a helicopter pad so I worry I will be fined if I fly mine.

      Russ, Cragy Wash is not small. It takes a bit to get to from the airport turn off but once past the host station it goes almost back as far as Yucca, The views are fantastic. Especially in Spring when dessert flowers are in bloom. Hundreds of places to park, maybe thousands.

    If ya hear something weez on by. I aint aiming for ya, I was just there first. Come say Hi and enjoy some responsible recreational sports. Make sure ya'll pick up your trash when ya'll snowbirds start migrating over here. Lord knows the countless trips Ive made to the dump. Good luck not getting harrassed at Havasu Heights spot. It's been ruined by a few folks who dumped waste there
