The Palms River Resort

The Palms in Needles is a first class establishment, well kept. My buddy has been storing his boat here inside the park for over 10 years, he has access to the very small and difficult boat ramp due to current when trying to get your boat IN from the river, this ramp is not for beginner's. The Palms have added on massively in the last 2 years, in a new pool by the front gate, meeting center, bigger store, more storage garages and outside storage, it would seem that new storage customers do not have access to the ramp my buddy is grandfathered in and I understand why they don't let storage use the ramp as it is very small and limited truck/ trailer towing, with all the expansion mabye they could build a second ramp by the new storage side and charge a little for it. Everytime we show up we are supposed to get a permit to park now but are told Everytime and this last weekend on Sunday about 1:00PM and I quote "you only get storage, you don't get access to our resort." Question is the new storage side is not inside the park/ resort and most if the new storage customer probably don't know there is a ramp and they certainly don't have the gate code, this is still a very small community and the homeowners know who should and should be there, along with the grounds crew, don't really see a need for a pass for the oldtimers, what happens if we launch when the store is not open, is the truck and trailer gonna get towed? Many a trip we are on the water by 6-7 AM. This issue withstanding this is still a 5 star Resort and if I had kids under 10 would not hesitate to let them go to the inside the park pool, beach or dog park in a group, fyi, great safe place to camp as well.

We like that it is quiet most of the time. On the weekends there are lots of people taking their razors and 4 wheelers out onto the desert so there is some noise but it's during the day and just going in or out. The pool area is very pretty and everything is quite clean. The store/office area is nicely provisioned and the desk staff are helpful and nice. It's close to rt40 but not close enough for noise, just ez access. There is a mix of homesites and rv sites. Quick hop up to Fort Mojave or up to The Avi or Laughlin if you want to go to casinos. Walmart and several groceries are available in Fort Mojave.

Clean. Nice features with all the amendities Would come again and again. Folks are helpful and no old units allowed. Behind secure gates at night and the Colorado River is within walking distance. No wind to blow you over like Bullhead or Laughlin parks. Reserve months ahead. All size units.

We stopped by to look into storage and 4 months later we bought a place. Staff is super friendly. The whole facility is super clean. Cant wait till summer.....

We pulled in after dark. Security code on the gate doesn't give a rid & tow enough time to get through the gate. I suggest you pull up to the gate then walk back to enter the code.
No signs to the office to get a map of the place to find a space.
No cable for TV or pass word for wifi.
No one answered after hour cell number. The recording said; "mail box has not been set up" so I could not leave a message.
I guess we wI'll grab a flashlight and wander around to find the the office and showers.

Nice gated mobile home park! Just need to finish build out of the park to reduce/ eliminate weekend RV rentals
Keeping the gate closed around the clock not just after hours would help w security!

I did not stay here. Just stopped by their store. Boy what a surprise! The bathrooms were very clean and the store was packed with useful items and some really cool souvenirs that were worth buying.

I didn't stay here, but I had an experience with the front desk ladies , they were great, and accommodating, and I also drove through the resort a little to see the rest of the patk.. I give their customer service a five star, and cleanliness a five star... .....

Came through in August-- nice level RV pull through and pool, spas, river amenities looked great but we only found toilets WAY down the hill by the pool --no showers! No bathrooms are even marked on the map of the grounds-- and the folks in the store were gone by the time we wanted showers. So for camping transients, expect to not bathe or use your own facility in your trailer or RV. Those in small compact rigs who usually bathe in the campground facility will be disappointed. This would be a 4-5 rating otherwise.

My family and I atended the NYE party at the new red barn. The band was knocking it out of the park, very good. Having a great time, Then the count down to the New Year. Apparently customery to throw TP rolls. An abundant amount of TP was tossed in the bands direction thus damaging the PA equipment where the band could not continue. The band announced they could not continue. It was at this time when things went south and got ugly. The drunk and belligerent owner along with many drunk and belligerent attendees proceded to verbally attack and demean the band for not playing. Hello??.…...What did you guys miss? The bands vehicals were vandalized with TP and TP crammed up exhaust pipes. It was a gross display of human behavior. Unfotunatley my son is still talking about it and asking questions. I can't imagine a worse expiriance.
