Feb 23, 2023 Day 1 Lake Havasu SP Lake Havasu City, AZ

Our next campground, Lake Havasu State Park is 30 minutes north of Cattail Cove. Checkout time is 12:00n and check in at LHSP is 2:00pm and with a 30-minute drive, we may not be able to access our site upon arrival. Some campgrounds will let you in if the site is open, others have overflow parking for you to wait until your site opens. LHSP does neither and offered there’s a large parking lot down the street at Hampton Inn where we can wait until about 1:30pm before returning to check in.

It’s windy again but not as high as the other day and it’s an easy drive to Lake Havasu City. The city has a population of 58,000 and located adjacent to the lake. The state park is located right on the lake and has white sandy beaches and palm trees.

Our site was at a quirky angle with a stop sign on one side and another vehicle on the other. So, it took some maneuvering, but Ron handled it like a champ, and we were set up in short order to the electric and water. Most state parks do not have full hookups, only electric and water, but they have a dump station to use on the way out or in.

We took a quick walk with Justice to check out the dog beach. In the windy conditions, the water is really choppy today and Justice doesn’t quite know what to make of it. We decide to wait until another day.

After the busy day, we opted to order pizzas from a nearby restaurant. Unfortunately, not the best but we managed to get full. There is a Smith’s Grocery store nearby and they are owned by Kroger’s, and you guessed it, I put together a click list to pick up tomorrow. This is so convenient any time but especially when traveling. If you’ve ever shopped a different store, it’s difficult to find what you are looking for but with click list, I complete my order online without having to navigate a new store, plus it saves me time. Someone should include this in a YouTube video for RV’ers!
