A part of the larger Buckskin State Park and located on the Arizona banks of the Colorado River, River Island State Park is a popular spot for camping as most of its 37 tent campgrounds overlook the water. The park has decent amenities with a lovely sandy beach in a charming secluded cove, a boat launch, and a picnic area with a pavilion.
There are miles of hiking trails and access to the back-country road for off-road vehicles. The views of the mountains along the trail are magnificent. The park is used all year round because of Arizona’s mild weather, especially for fishing.
River Island State Park, 5200 N. Highway 95, Parker, AZ 85344
