Find your place in the sun on the California side of the Colorado River Emerald Cove Resort
Emerald Cove enjoys an arid desert climate with warm winters, hot sum- mers and near-perfect springs and autumns. Hundreds of RV campsites roll out panoramic river views, with full hookups, picnic tables and grills. If you travel with a boat or other sea- faring vessel, you’re welcome to cast off from the resort’s triple-wide launch and explore the river. If not, take advantage of the nearby rentals to get out on the water. Then join the fun on the roll- ing Colorado, whether you’re tubing, water-skiing, baiting your fishing line or simply cruising. Dogs can get in on the action at two fenced-in pet areas, including one that allows river access. Of course, the Colorado River isn’t the only place to make a splash at Em- erald Cove. You can take a refreshing dip in two covered swimming pools and a pair of hot tubs, not to mention the kid-friendly wading pool. The poolside staff serves tempting snacks and drinks.
Naturally, there are plenty of ways to spend the days away from the water. Try your luck teeing off on the nine- hole executive golf course or putting 18 holes of minigolf. Shoot some hoops on the basketball court or get in a lively game of table tennis, horseshoes, shuf- fleboard or billiards. Emerald Cove’s gated entry, round- the-clock security and well-supervised youth activities mean you can relax and thoroughly enjoy yourself. When it’s time to replenish your supplies, stop by the well-stocked convenience store. Within easy drives—or boat rides— you’ll find a couple of famous spans. Parker Dam, the world’s deepest, strad- dles the river only five minutes away, and the original London Bridge crosses the Colorado in Lake Havasu City. Need further enticement to slip away from the resort? The many diversions of the BlueWater Casino await just 6 miles away on the Arizona side.
