Ridiculous! Tedious! For the love of God there has got to be a better way to register!! As parent approaching my 50s this was N utter nightmare! Trying to complete this on time at the end of a work day was a total joke! There has got to be a better way to register Additionally. After the horrific floods in Texas it seems insane that iPhones are not aloud! This needs to be revisited especially with teenage counselors!

Absolutely zero customer service. Made reservations through RPI with no problem. Since we full-time, We needed to send a bundle of mail etc and another package to meet us there. Weeks ahead I started calling, leaving voice messages, which said they would call me back, also emails. Never got a response. Arrive at the park, they didn't have our reservation. Good thing I had the confirmation printed out. And found out they did not accept packages. Ours got returned. When asked about it they just shrugged. They are just interested in selling lots only. Just simple courtesy and communication would be nice.

It was cheap. There isn't much to do here. We were there new years eve week. The arcade was closed so the kids couldn't enjoy it. The Bing was great. A fun experience for my first time. The new years party had a 12 dollar entrance for members even if you didn't want the food. We tried the food they were serving ahead of time and it was not good so we wanted to opt out. However that was not an option. We were near the restrooms and I'd advise even for the convenience do not stay near them. We smelled poo the whole time we were there. The bathrooms were always smelling like pee. They had an attendant in there almost every day but they didn't always sanitize so it smelled. My sister in law has the time share here and they've said they have been to better places. They need more for family to do. It seems to cater a lot towards old folks.

We have been members for 15 plus years. It's a nice place, they have done a few upgrades through the years. Just know summer time it's not easy to get a beach camping spot, unless you plan to show up in the middle of the week and that's not always the case. Used to be first come first to get, but I have seen the staff move tailers in spots and people don't show for days. Holiday weekends are always a party, so late night noise, and it gets real crowded on the beach. Staff is ok, I really don't have anything special to say about them.

A great family friendly resort right on the Colorado River, HQ for Colorado River Adventures. Membership isn't required but if you find you like this resort, there as lots more in the CRA organization included for CRA members at special rates. 2 pools, a hot tub, mini golf, pickle ball courts, a boat ramp, and more than a half mile of beach are all for the taking. On site convenience store with RV supplies, souvenirs, beer and a few grocery staples can help extend your stay or push off having to drive to Parker AZ, back across the river where there's a Walmart, Safeway, drug stores, restaurants, and a casino. Laundry facilities and propane on site as well. There are some trails outside the Resort to hike and enjoy. Easy run for OHV side-by-sides to some nice hills near by. Besides coming in your RV, there are cabins for rent but you must bring your own linens and other stuff just as if you were camping. There's so much to it, but they can tell you more and you may get to stay a few nights just to listen to them tell you about it all.

Stayed a few nights here, visiting family. Typical for RV park, we only got 30 amp connection, and water initially wasn’t working. That was resolved quickly. Many facilities for family fun on-site, right on river for boating and jet skiing. Good food options.

We absolutely love it here at Emerald Cove. As members, we can park our camper right on the river and go kayaking right off the bank. Plenty of over flow parking for the toys and trailers. Nice pool area, a store with everything you need and a fun-filled tiki bar with everything else. ? Mini-golf and an arcade for the kids. Golf and billiards for the big kids. Just across the road is a huge OHV park and plenty of trails for exploring.

Excellent facility, lots of planned activities for young and old, great amenities, river recreation. Professional and friendly staff, perfect for a weekend or a month.

The pics say it all! We have been members for 15 years, and we've gone through a couple of pups, we all love it.

Awesome place to RV. Everyone is super friendly and the staff is great!! And you just might get someone asking to borrow your golf cart.

Totally love this place. The employees are helping and respectful and the other guest are friendly. There's soo much to do and don't miss out on the arcade!

New management yahoo. Things are looking up. First time in many years that we see things improving around camp. Keep up the good work. R AND K SOCAL

So much to do here. Boat, fish, swim(2 pools and 2 hot tubs), mini golf, arcades, karaoke, good price on food at the restaurants, nicely decorated, activities for the kids(bead activities, etc.). Love this place. We will come back. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5, was no dogs on the beach, except at the dog park. But, one of the dog parks was on a small part of the beach. Oh, and there are wild donkeys here. A very nice surprise. Just dont feed them or get behind them. Other than that, they are very people friendly.

Very hot in August 108. The pool kept us cool. The convenient store was reasonably priced and even the food at the tiki bar. Didn't catch any fish, that was disappointing. Friendly and clean.

It is a beautiful place for a vacation. I felt sorry for the donkeys ? that roamed around after the sun went down. Very Hot this time of year. Water is your best friend. But it's a Beautiful sunset and great times.

When I setup to go to this place, the person I talked to on the phone asked me all kinds of info about my travel trailer. They specifically asked me if I had a 30 or 50 amp trailer. I said 50 amp, they said "no problem, we have plenty of those there we git you covered. " I thought that meant i would get a 50 amp site. When we arrived I was surprised that the site was only 30 amp. Not enough to run our AC units. When I went back to the check in. I was told the 50 Amp sites are for members only. Being that it was 119° there was no way we could sleep or cool off. So we left, found a spot at another rv park to stay the night and headed home the next day. I hate being lied to.

Awesome place to visit, loved the little store they have, so unique. Loved the wild donkeys, the river is close and swimming pools w music. Great place for children.

We had fun anyway!!!!! Bathrooms all clogged and disgusting! Our electrical did not work. We had to be on our generator the whole trip. The park stinks like sewage. River is great. Pool is great. People are nice but not accommodating when it comes to need for park upkeep and repair. We adapted and overcame anyway but very disappointed in all these little things that we expected for our vacation, especially when they want to sell you a time share. It’s the luck of the draw here. We were told we would have a 50 amp hookup close to the water but all the 50 amps are way back in the park. Just sayin.

Not really our cup of tea. Loud and a lot of drinking of alcohol. People don't follow the rules for quiet time. We called about the loud music and partying after 10 pm and saw the security golf cart drive by, but did nothing to stop it. The food at the bar was good.

We love Emerald Cove. We were here 2x last year & so far, we have 2 x planned for this year. Such a fun place to hang out. Our 2 younger granddaughters love coming here. So much for them to do. They love to go to the River Rats Kids Club!!

We really enjoyed our two night stay here. It was really quiet. We came in May mid week and left on a Friday. It wasn't crowded. We had our motorhome park right of the river. It was great. There's so much this resort has to offer, such as mini golf, shuffleboard, basketball, golf (across street), pickleball, and pools. It's very nice they have a covered pool if you want to get out of the sun or one in the sun along with two jacuzzis and a toddler pool. There are donkeys roaming around the park. We really enjoyed seeing them. They weren't a problem for us even when one decided to come to our site for a visit. We will definitely be coming back. My grandkids would have loved it at this place.

If I could give this place less than one star I would. They put you in a site that is so close to your neighbor that you can barely put out your awning and your neighbors sewer line runs under your picnic table. We understand that it was a resort, but they have an intercom system where they announced people's food orders ready all afternoon and into the evening. The tiki bar has karaoke and music till 10:00, which isn't bad but you will hear it all through the park. They have rules in this park! But the rules don't seem to matter. They say no ATVs or OHVs in the park running around yet that's what happened. Don't get me wrong, we haven't OHV and we love it. But we try to respect the rules, but the park doesn't enforce them. It's pet friendly, which we completely understand, but some of the pet owners allow your pets to pee on the water faucets, the ones that feed your unit, so therefore when you hook up you have dog pee on it. Not only do they not enforce the dog rule, but they allow multiple big dogs that bark in the app all night long. Again don't have a problem with pets, just have a problem with parks and pet owners that don't enforce their rules. Kicking back and watching the river is absolutely gorgeous! It's really a party atmosphere loud music and ruckus all day and into the evening trust me I would young too and that stuff doesn't really bother me. You have wild donkeys running through the park which is awesome to see and really fun to watch. Just be careful, You could have a surprise when you step out in the morning. That pickleball courts which aren't advertised. And a lot of fun activities for the kids. But if you expect to go and rest and relax, this is not the place for you. They want you to buy a membership, which would be fine if the park was decent cuz we were actually interested in some of the additional services they offered around the country, but they want to charge you $12,000 up front in addition to an almost $900 annual fee. Yes it's good for three generations and I could see it if this park, their flagship park was a little bit more conducive to rest and relaxation. It was so bad we left early!

I'm disappointed they don't allow RPI guests to use the 50 amp service anymore. There are lots of things to see and do. Close to several different businesses. We went to the Nellie the bar in the desert. About 6 ish miles on a dirt road, only open on Saturday and Sunday. Bring lots of cash. They don't take credit. Food and drinks, shirts, hats, and souvenirs. Awesome live music. Love seeing the donkeys. But please drive slow on the Parker Dam road. Someone hit the baby donkey.

It's always such a fun time when we come here. My kids have a blast, the store is stocked a little pricey, but what do you expect, You're buying something from a campground.It's all about the convenience. The pool is heated in the winter. The tiki bars, food is good, taco Thursday is my favorite. And the staff is friendly. Don't forget to bring your carrots to feed the wild donkeys.

This is a beautiful resort, right on the river. It had a laid back atmosphere, that I really enjoyed. Definitely worth staying, and a worth purchasing a membership if that’s what you’re looking for. We met some nice people, fellow campers, and the staff was friendly, too. Dinner was served on the two nights we stayed (I don’t know if there is dinner every night). The food was good, portions large, and reasonably priced. The is a bar at the pool area, and the drinks were also reasonably priced. They had karaoke on one night that we were there, which was a lot of fun. I saw that they had other activities planned for other nights. I liked that the entire pool area was covered, to keep us protected from the beating sun. We visited when the temps reached upwards of 110, so shade was nice. The RV Resort also has a miniature golf and playground for the kids. The bathrooms and showers were clean and appeared well maintained. The shop had pretty much anything you could want or need. It is a dog friendly place and there is a small, gated dog park with river access, and pool bag stations located throughout the grounds. The cons- not enough shade trees and too much poo. I just really like trees and usually choose where we stay based on whether or not there are a lot of trees. As for the poo- There are wild burros that wander the area, which is really cool to see, but I felt that the staff should prioritize cleaning up the poo. There was some left all day. Even though there were well stocked poop-bag stations located throughout the resort, some people neglected to pick up after their dogs. Sad. The dog park could have used some attention. Besides this, I really have no complaints. I am actually looking forward to another visit, when it is cooler.

Very nice place for a get away however the person (white young male) working in the bar area was not too friendly (this was back in May 2024 to be exact). I almost felt as if he did not like woman or the Hispanic culture. I had my white cousin (male) go get me another drink because I just did not want to come across that employee and his attitude changed with him! CRAZY!! Everything else was perfect though. A friendlier staff would be better especially if it is a family resort.
