Colorado River

We moved from Yermo, California to Earp, California (find that on a map).  We are on the California side of the Colorado river near Parker, Arizona.  We are so close to the state line that they use Arizona time in the park and our cell phones think we are on Arizona time.

This park is one of those mega parks I have talked about before.  It has something like 800 spaces.  It is a membership park and caters to the snowbirds and those that are boat owners or ATV owners.  The sales company for the park got our name through Jayco and called us to see if we would wanted to come visit, free of charge.  Of course we do have to sit through a 90 minute sales presentation, which is scheduled for Wednesday.  Since we had time to kill and they were giving us a decent full hookup site for 4 nights free, plus some other things, why not. 

It is an OK park, nothing special and not one I would probably consider buying a membership into.  This company has 8 parks all, except one, are on the Colorado river.  So really it is more for people that are into water activities and the desert, neither of which we have much interest in.  I am interested in seeing how these membership parks work as it may be something we will consider in a few years, but for now it would not really work for us.

We are one row from the river.  The peculiar thing about this park is that the river front sites are not set up for motorhomes, which are the predominant RV in the park.  The motorhomes must back into the riverfront sites so their big front window is not facing the river.  For fifth wheelers, like us, it is great as our window is in the back.  Strange configuration for a premium site.

Here are some pictures

We are here till Friday then drive to Apache Junction, Arizona (outside Phoenix) to spend the next 6 weeks.
