Overview
A brief introduction to Buckskin Mountain
Buckskin Mountain State Park is a state park located near Parker, Arizona, United States. A second developed area of the park is known as the River Island Unit or River Island State Park. Both park areas have shoreline on the Colorado River and views of the Buckskin Mountains. The park provides camping and water recreation opportunities.
Both parks have been maintained with the assistance of members from the National Service Program: AmeriCorps NCCC. The park hosted the most recent team in November, 2014 on their campsite & worked with the team to provide the park with general maintenance, inputting a fence, digging water retention pits & significantly cleaning up the beach areas. The team & park rangers also began an irrigation project for the dog run that was scheduled to be finished in 2015. Buckskin State Park & River Island State are primarily operated by volunteers with only a few park rangers split between the two parks. Both sites are home to many different kinds of birds, insects, fish & plant life, as well as a winter haven for travelers from up North.

River Views
Spacious RV sites that are able to accommodate large RV’s and some have a view of the river. Our cell service Verizon was very poor which was great for us since we like taking a break however it may be a problem for others. The bathrooms did not have hot water while we were there. The site we had did not have any shade however many sites have lovely shade trees. Very nice dog park with grass and shade. We really enjoyed the nearby hiking trails and the beach. We hope to visit again.

Very Scenic Park on the Colorado River
Typical of all the Arizona state parks along the Colorado River, this one is a jewel with a nice, paved road and campsites, and lots of shade.
