Camp Notes:  There are some really pleasant little campsites here at the River Island Unit of Buckskin State Park.  This facility is smaller and less hectic than its larger cousin, Buckskin Point, is the south.  There are no electrical hookup sites here, so you’ll find that more small vehicle and/or tent campers favor this unit.  Another nearby camping area is in a BLM recreation site near milepost 159 + .4. Havasu Springs offers gravel access to a number of parking/camping spots overlooking the river.
