RV Park Rating – Wahweap RV Park (Lake Powell, AZ)
- Site quality = 5/5
It really doesn’t get any better than this. The sites are huge, many large enough to park two 45-foot RV’s next to each other (or RV, boat and car in one site). Also, there’s plenty of space between sites with 15-30 feet separation, so you have your own little sanctuary. Each spot is a nice concrete slab with a side-attachment of bench, grill and fire-pit. Full hook-ups with 50 Amp and good water pressure. - Facilities = 3/5
Bathrooms are clean, simple and well-kept. However this place gets a ding because showers are only available at the Registration Center and they’re *Paid*. So, it’s $2 every time you need a clean-up. Not an issue for a self-contained vehicle like us, but could be a pain for those without built-in showers. - Amenities = 2/5
There’s really not much in the way of extra’s at this park. The WiFi is free and works well, but aside from that no other perks. Also, the laundry room is small (only a few machines) and usually really crowded. Now, you’ve got Lake Powell within walking distance so there’s plenty to keep the adults, kids and doggies happy, but just nothing much extra on-site. - Location = 5/5
Again, it doesn’t get any better than this. You’re literally within walking distance (one mile or so) from Lake Powell. Most of the sites have a view and the surroundings are gorgeous. You’re close to Navajo Nation, Horseshoe Bend and all kinds of other attractions. If you need a margarita or some groceries, Page is just 15 mins away. - Pet friendliness = 4/5
This is a pet-friendly park, and the lake is an extra bonus for the doggies.
Overall rating = 3.8
BONUS ALERT: Gorgeous Lake Powell within walking distance from your RV
Summary: This is without doubt the most beautiful park we’ve stayed at so far in our trip. As far as site location and access to outdoor activities it ranks top 10. Our site was huge, the view was fabulous, the Lake gorgeous and plenty of space to walk the dog. The only dings (ratings-wise) are for showers and amenities. For us, neither of these matter much so we absolutely loved it and would gladly have stayed a month. For those looking for the best views and the largest sites I recommend C Loop back-in’s. They’re actually larger than the pull-throughs and can easily accommodate the biggest rigs. Two thumbs and four paws up for this RV park. We’ll definitely be back!
Paul & Nina-
Just wanted to send you an e mail and short note about your wonderful web site & awesome information about your travels around the US & boondocking adventures.
My wife (Anne) & I are nearing retirement & have been gathering as much information as possible concerning boon docking & traveling all over, fortunately we both have careers that have allowed us to travel all over the USA & overseas Europe & Italy these past many years.
We plan on purchasing a Rengade RV , & use a 4×4 tow vehicle behind it as we travel. We plan on seeing All 52 National Parks thu out the US & have been blessed to see 12 already. Both of us love to fly fish & enjoy the outdoors & Mother Nature , golf , hiking etc.
Anne is in IT as an Engineer & worked for HP for over 17 years , partly out of Palo Alto, Ca but has tela commuted for most of the time . She’s from San Mateo, Ca.
As for me I have been blessed & living a childhood dream & been in Professional Baseball now for over 35 years & counting, being the last 14 for the SF Giants . I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA , however we both have made our home in Phoenix & now Fountain Hills , AZ these past 20 years.
I’ve reached a number of sites but yours is hands down the most organized & informative . Just want to thank you both for your time & effort you put into your site that will definitely help the future retirees and boondockers !! Lol
Good luck to you both & continued success with your move to Europe .
Save travels wherever they may take you.
Regards,
Bob Mariano
