Lake Havasu City, AZ - Lake Havasu RV Park - December 20 - 26 2011

We had heard wonderful things about Lake Havasu RV Park from our friends, Lloyd and Mary Hanneberg. We had no plans for the week of Christmas and decided this would be a great time to explore this part of AZ. Lake Havasu RV Park is a Colorado River Adventure park that also accepts reservations from Resort Parks International members; at $10 a day we felt we had a deal. The park employees were really in the holiday spirit and had put lots of effort into decorating the grounds and clubhouse.  Christmas Eve the park hosted a  carol sing with refreshments of home made cookies, candy, soda and coffee. Christmas day consisted of a park hosted pot luck dinner; the park provided ham and the attendees brought accompanying side dishes. Our contribution was Potatoes AuGratin and home made Crescent  rolls.

Lake Havasu City, AZ is the home of the infamous London Bridge. We spent time one morning exploring the town, walking along the river taking pictures of the bridge, shops and restaurants reminiscent of Old England.  Lake Havasu is beautiful  even in the off season. I am sure this place is bustling with tourists in peak season; shopping, dining, fishing, boating and enjoying a whole host of other  activities available in this river communuity.  Unfortunately, since we are experiencing Lake Havasu off season and with the exception of the Visitors Center almost everything else is closed, we had to look elsewhere for entertainment.  We discovered that the Blue Water Casino was offering perks for their new members; a free buffet and $10 in slot play.  Perks we felt were worth the 40 mile drive.
