Welcome to the Yuma Riverfront KOA Journey!

With the river stretching along the back of our campground and the scenic Wetlands Park right next door, Yuma Riverfront KOA offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and convenience. Enjoy direct access to fishing, and soon, our new dock will make it easy to swim or launch your boat right from the campground. Wetlands Park features additional docks for swimming and boating, plus miles of biking and walking trails. Our quiet park is full of retro, western, and country charm that feels worlds away - yet is just minutes from downtown Yuma's lively festivals, restaurants, and shopping. You can also make a quick day trip to Los Algadones, Mexico, only 5 minutes away. Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a sunny winter retreat, our campground welcomes guests of all ages, year-round. Exciting upgrades are on the way, with a new pool and pickleball courts coming in 2026!
