We’re now headed north and a little east to southwestern Utah. On the way we’ve stopped at Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area near Laughlin, Nevada. We have a very nice, large, level full hookup site.
We’re at the end of the loop, so no neighbors in this direction.
And where the loop road comes along the back of our site we have this fine hedge of Arrowweed. Despite its common name this is a native shrub “that forms dense thickets”. I’m happy for its density here.
Overall this is a very nice campground with lots of trees,
some good sized.
and every one of them is irrigated.
The campground is quite a ways from the river and much of the trail there is this fine, soft sand, which makes walking difficult.
The day use area on the river is nice once you get to it, with shelters, beaches and a boat launch.
Across the river is Bullhead City, Arizona.
There are some nice large houses there.
I’m happy to be here, on the wilder side.
All in all it’s a nice place to be and I wouldn’t mind staying longer, but that’s not on our itinerary, so tomorrow we move on.
On the Roam Again 
I like the mountains in the distance! Based on the branches of that big weeping willow tree, it must have been a breezy day when you took these pictures. Are there any trails that aren’t soft sand? I read once that walking in grass or sand gives you even more exercise than walking on a hard surface, so enjoy the exercise. : ~ )

That weeping tree is a bottlebrush, Calistemon viminalis. They are from Australia, but we saw them at River Island State Park, too. I walked a different trail after I wrote this and it had very little soft sand. (I walked further on that one.)
