Easy-to-Find Directions – Just Minutes from I-10!
If you have five days to spend on the Colorado River, you can settle in, explore the area, and still leave feeling relaxed. This itinerary mixes river time, desert adventure, and full use of the campground’s family-friendly amenities.
Afternoon:
Check in, get set up, and take a walk around the property. Locate the heated pool, clubhouse, playground, and, of course, Good Vibes Beach along the Colorado River.
Head straight to the river for your first swim or float. The private shoreline makes it easy to relax without crowds.
Evening:
Cool off in the pool or soak in the hot tub before dinner at your site. End the night with a campfire and desert sunset.
Morning:
Drive east to Quartzite, the Rock Capital of the World. Enjoy off road trails, gem stores, and lively events. And in the winter you can check out the Big Tent Show, Camel Rides, and more.
Afternoon:
Drive north to Buckskin Mountain State Park for hiking, river views, and picnic spots. Trails here are manageable for families and give you a different perspective of the Colorado River.
Evening:
Return to the campground for dinner and an evening swim.
Morning:
Make this your full river day. Bring kayaks, paddleboards, or float tubes and spend the morning on the water. Fish from shore or relax under an umbrella on Good Vibes Beach.
Afternoon:
Head to the pool for a change of pace. Kids can rotate between swimming and the playground while adults enjoy some downtime.
Evening:
Grill dinner at your site and take a sunset walk along the beach. The open desert sky makes evenings here feel wide and calm.
Morning:
Visit the fascinating geoglyphs at Blythe Intaglios. These massive figures etched into the desert floor are quick to access and worth seeing.
If you want a longer day trip, head west to Joshua Tree National Park. The rock formations and desert landscapes are striking and make for memorable photos and short hikes.
Afternoon:
On the way back, stop for lunch in nearby Blythe or explore local shops before returning to the campground.
Evening:
Take it slow. Use the hot tub, enjoy a quiet dinner outside, and let the kids wind down at the playground or clubhouse.
Morning:
Start with coffee outside your RV or cabin. Walk the riverfront one more time and soak in the quiet desert surroundings.
If you haven’t yet, squeeze in a final pool session or a quick paddle on the river.
Afternoon:
Pack up at a relaxed pace. Let the kids play while you break down camp. It’s an easy checkout when you’re not rushing.
With five days, you can truly settle into the rhythm of river life:
Private Colorado River beach access
Heated pool and hot tub
Playground and family activities
Pet-friendly events like Yappy Hour
Close proximity to state parks, wildlife refuges, and iconic desert landscapes
A longer stay means less driving and more actual vacation time. Whether you’re here in an RV, cabin, or tent, Ehrenberg / River Sands KOA gives you the space to explore and the amenities to keep everyone happy.
Plan your five-day river escape and enjoy a getaway that feels both active and relaxed at the same time.
