Parking near water in SW.
Hi everyone
I am looking for a place to park
My 45 CC next to a lake where I don’t have to bring a toad to launch jet skis. I live in Vegas and all the rv parking surrounding lake mead is 100’s of yards or more from the water.
I’d like to drive the rig with boat in tow, launch and keep in water and stay in coach. Like houseboating but with the coach
Willing to travel of course, please let me know if anyone has an idea
Thanks
Tom

Lake Powell? I guess I don't understand your launch... you want to use a ramp but stay on the ramp? Not move the MH & trailer to a parking spot? I've never seen anyone do that. Normally, they want you to get off the ramp and park; making room for someone else to use the ramp.

Yes. I just want to launch with the rv then park for the trip. Keep boat in water on shore or in slip but then park and stay in rv for duration. From then on walk to boat, restaurant, lodge or whatever but I won’t have a car.

I don't know if you can overnight at Lake Powell's boat ramp. You'll need to check it out.
Also, the Colorado River along both sides in AZ/CA... Lake Havasu City/Needles. Again, I don't know about staying the night.

You might want to check out Lake Pleasant, Northwest of Phoenix. There is an RV park and a county campground with some spaces near the water.

Thanks everyone for suggestions
Can’t believe it’s not easier to find a place to enjoy an RV spot and water activities all in one.
I know most people would kill to have this problem so not complaining, just looking for that get away spot as I near retirement and want to enjoy.

I just did a quick Google for 'RV parks in the southwest for boating' and this and other sites came up. You will have to rule out some because jet skis aren't allowed on every lake but this will give you a start.

Great suggestions. Made a reservation at hidden shores. I might go to Parker first. I’ll keep you all posted. Any other further suggestions keep them coming please. Open to NorCal or beyond.

Absolutely what I was looking for. The coach right on the river. Skis in the water. Privacy. WiFi. Restaurant and bar. Shuttle. Great cell service.
Totally recommend pirates cove in needles if you like water and camping.
Thanks again for input
Tom
