The Palms River Resort

This is a convenience store so the name may be misleading. They DO offer lots of snacks, beverages and souvenirs.
UPDATE: this is now a full resort with camping available.
The store is well stocked , it is on the mighty Colorado River and the improvements are beautiful to the eye.
Fenced and gated so clearly the thought for use, privacy and safety has gone into the development of an outdoor resort.
Yes, you should try itm

Completely rude. Me & my wife got stuck on the river due to a raft popping and everything we had submerging under water. We made it to the next thing that wasn't desert which ends up being the palms. So we get out and gather our things as quickly as we can (trying not to disturb any guest, in which we saw none) but so we walked up to the store to get out of their resort and the see if our phones would work when we plugged them in and to get a drink of water. The lady working there comes out and tells us to leave the property immediately or else she's calling the cops. I explain our situation and she didn't care because we asked someone for help in front of her store. So me and my wife walked all the way to needles for no reason really and had to leave all our stuff in front of the palms. We made it to needles, plugged in out phones and got a ride like we tried to do in the first place, just without the hospital degree sun burn on our arms, back, and legs. When the lady's we were going to ask for a ride were obviously highly intoxicated and driving, so we decided against it and asked if they possibly had a couple dollars so we could hopefully get a ride from the next person if we gave them the couple dollars. The intoxicated women driving seemed to be some part of the resort. I'm glad they promte breaking the law and life risking. It's a shame because I remember it being a much more nicer person filled last time I went. Oh yeah, I guess I had money in my pocket that time though. The sign said " dock here for refreshments at the store " yet we were told we weren't even allowed to walk through.

We stayed at this place last New Year's eve and we loved it!
The staff was accommodating, the pool and club house facility was great and the RV spots were easy to navigate (we had a pull through site that even fit our trailer). You car ride your UTV/ATV right out of the park and connect to unending trails that lead to fun destinations either along the river or through the desert.
Though we were not there during the boating season I can see how this place is very conducive to that too being that it's on the river's edge and having a nice launching ramp and docks as well.
The new year party in the Red Barn was really fun.
The band was good, the food was good and the atmosphere was great! As it is with any party where there is alcohol there will be some unruly people, so I would not recommend attending with smaller children if you are worried, especially as it gets closer to midnight. But all in all we had a great time! (Oh, and be careful of the toilet paper toss at midnight, lol).
Be aware that this place is an active motor sports mecca with UTV's, dirt bikes and more being ridden to people's camp sites or vacation homes. So if you are looking for a quiet place this may not be it, however if you are looking for a place full of activity and fun people than you will be very happy here.

Stayed here with a few friends. The place is super clean. I was able to relax the moment i passed through the welcome gates and will be back soon as in next weekend I'm coming back with my family. I could go on and on about the river and the amenities but you should just see if for yourself. Thank you Palms...

We stayed in our RV in one of the RV sites and it had nice elbow room and a nice picnic table under a tree. BUT, if you want to do your laundry you’ll have to carry all of it as there is NO parking AT ALL, not even short term, near the pool/hot tub area which is where the main laundry room is, this includes if you want to swim or soak in the hot tub in the evening you’ll have to walk home wet and cold. They boast they have 3 laundry rooms but one of them is literally in a wooden shed, also NO PARKING, and the other is in what I would describe as a small closet at the very back outside entrance of the huge red barn, parking in front, with only one washer and one dryer, no folding table, NOTHING, and barely enough room to bend over to get your laundry in and out, not to mention the most expensive load of clothes I’ve ever done. This was very inconvenient for us because we were staying in the area for a couple weeks. The “private beach” was ridiculously small compared to what I expected from what I saw on their website. Also tons of off road vehicles speeding down the street, going 15 to 20 miles over the posted speed limit, It was loud and I felt unsafe walking my dogs. It’s a very well maintained place with a beautiful pool that the permanent residence probably enjoy but for a long stay in an RV, overpriced and inconvenient and I felt their website descriptions and pictures were deceiving.

So beautiful!!!! Everyone is so nice! Renie and the new girl are awesome! Tammy is just so nice! I appreciate everyone here! The beach and pool area are so clean and maintained! I will be back very soon!

Palms River Resort has an AWESOME Property Manager named Tammy who always goes over and beyond !!!! Thanks Tammy for making our new place even better !

Modern resort with great amenities. Sites are well spaced. Pool and hot tub are clean and beautiful. Bathrooms are clean with ample hot water. Access to the Colorado River was nice!

We have been coming here for several years and were considering buying a vacation home in the Palms River Resort. The staff used to be great and management was awesome. They are now under new management and we will never return again. They have been rude and unaccommodating. Our kids LOVE the water slide and we have always been able to use it throughout the week. It was open on Monday and Tuesday, but when we tried to use it on Thursday it was closed. We called the office and they said "Its only open on the weekend" They were not willing to open it for us, even though the opened it for someone else earlier in the week.

We will not return or buy as we planned, even after years of vacationing here. What a bummer.

Awesome place to stay. They have a huge pool, 2 jacuzzis, a play room (foosball, air hockey, darts, etc), a bounce house, tennis and basketball courts. The whole place is super clean amd has the friendliest people. Only very small negative is that the beach next to the ramp is super small.
