Overview
If you want hookups right next to the action on Lake Mohave, Katherine Landing RV Park is the simple, no-frills base that puts you steps from the marina and beach. It’s inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area near Bullhead City, so you get the desert-lake setting without a long detour.
The RV Setup
This small RV park offers full hookups (water, sewer, and 20/30/50 amp electric). All sites are back‑in, and the largest reported pads fit rigs up to about 40 feet. On-site basics cover the essentials: flush restrooms, hot showers, and a laundry room. Wi‑Fi is available through a provider on site, though terms and performance can change.
What’s Nearby (and Why It’s Handy)
You’re a short walk from the marina hub: boat ramp, rentals, fuel dock (land and water), a general store, and a casual place to eat. There’s a designated swim beach, plus a fish-cleaning station for anglers. Two signed hikes start right here—the Lake View Trail and Fisherman’s Trail—leading to coves, sandy pockets, and shorebird viewing.
Vibe and Tradeoffs
Convenience is the headline. The tradeoff is elbow room: multiple reviewers call out tight, back‑in sites and a parking‑lot feel. Maintenance and check‑in experiences are mixed. If you prize space, consider the adjacent first‑come campground (dry camping) instead; if you prize hookups and walk-to-water access, this park delivers.
Seasons and Weather
Expect classic low-desert patterns: 300+ sunny days, mild winters, warm springs and falls, and very hot summers. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable camping weather. In summer, plan early/late activities and lean on the lake midday. Winter is popular with snowbirds and brings crisp nights. One recent note suggests early May can be quieter than peak periods.
Nature Notes
Lake Mohave sits behind Davis Dam, in Basin and Range country with volcanic and sedimentary layers on display. This is Mojave (Aha Macav) homeland. Keep an eye out for desert bighorn on nearby cliffs, roadrunners on the flats, and seasonal wildflowers after good winter rains.
Who It’s For
- Boaters and paddlers who want full hookups steps from the ramp and rentals.
- Travelers happy with convenience over campsite spaciousness or landscaping.
Best Time to Visit
- Spring and fall for comfortable temps and hiking light.
- Summer for water time—hit the ramp early, then swim or siesta midday.
- Winter for mild days and quieter weekdays; book or arrive early during holiday periods.
