Most RV parks in the Bullhead City, Ariz., area are already filled up for the winter according to a survey by the Mohave Daily News. “We're booked, especially after the first of the year,” Paddy Oliver of the El Rio Waterfront Resort told the newspaper. She said the average stay at her resort for winter visitors is about two months and is popular with Canadians.
“We've been full for about a month,” said Melanie Shetley, manager of the Mirage RV Resort. She said the average stay for snowbirds at her park is five months. Most other parks are already filled as well, some booked for as long as six months. Some parks report slight declines from last year.
But overall the picture is bright, according to Connie Fields, tourism specialist with the Bullhead Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center. “Since the beginning of October, they have been coming in. As soon as it starts to get freezing or snow they come,” she said.
Bullhead City is across the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nev., and its casino row alongside the river. Its mild winter temperatures make it a favorite destination for seasonal visitors in RVs.

We just came back from Lake Havasu yesterday,
Dec. 4th. We stay at Cattail Cove and love it there . It is a state park and there were spaces available when we left. Camp ground hosts are great as well as Rangers. Price is right and cheaper than SandPoint next door.
It is near marker 169 HWY 95, AZ side. About 13 miles from Lake Havasu City. Halfway to Parker. They have water and electric hookups and a dump.
I do not know where you got the information but I was there two weeks ago and we were commenting about the campgrounds being almost empty. Even the free places did not have that many in them.
