La Paz County Park in Parker Offers Camping, RV Hookups, Boat Access

La Paz County Park, commonly listed as La Paz County Campground and located at 7350 Riverside Drive in Parker, provides riverfront camping, RV hookups, day-use picnic areas, restrooms and boat access to the Parker Strip. The facility serves as a focal point for weekend recreation, community events and river-based tourism that bring visitors and economic activity to La Paz County.

The campground’s combination of campsites and RV infrastructure makes it a primary access point for boating, fishing and other river sports on the Colorado River. That accessibility supports local tourism and bolsters businesses that rely on river traffic, while also concentrating seasonal demand for county services such as sanitation, parking and emergency response.

Public health considerations are central to how the park functions as a community asset. On-site restrooms and waste management are essential to preventing disease transmission and protecting water quality along the Parker Strip. Boat access increases the need for water-safety measures including life jackets, safe-launch procedures and timely emergency medical response when incidents occur on the river. These needs carry particular weight for families, older residents and people with limited mobility who use the park for recreation and social connection.

Equitable access also matters. The park draws visitors from across La Paz County and beyond, but transportation, fee structures and campsite availability influence who can make use of the riverfront. County officials and community groups face choices about balancing revenue from tourism with affordable access for local residents, including potential measures like day-use rates, discounted permits or reserved local slots during peak weekends.

Operational details such as campsite reservations, specific fees and seasonal hours change with demand and river conditions. For up-to-date campground availability, current fees and event schedules, contact the La Paz County Parks Office or the Parker Area Chamber. Planning ahead helps residents and visitors avoid overcrowding and ensures that river access is managed in ways that protect public health and the natural environment.

As the Parker area continues to attract river users, La Paz County Park will remain a critical public resource. Expect ongoing conversations about how to sustain tourism benefits while safeguarding safety, sanitation and equitable access for all residents. Check with county parks or the Parker Area Chamber before you go, bring appropriate safety gear, and plan for seasonal conditions on the Parker Strip.
