Quirky riverside RV park with awesome personality. Staff were amazingly friendly. Nice and quiet when I was there during the week. Excellent river views with a lower shaded deck and upper sunny deck.

Aahhhh Fenders, what can I say.. My fourth time staying when visiting from London and making the long drive from LA towards AZ and every single time has felt like coming home. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, the sunrise/sunset views over the Colorado River from the little apartment with the balcony are just spectacular and there’s just something so special about this little Oasis in the desert. (Also the beds are INSANELY comfy) If you’re thinking about visiting make sure you go for a dip in the river and stargaze from the jetty with a cold beer and take the time to chat with the local residents - what a place. Thanks for having us, we’ll be back!

Fenders was awesome!!!! Cost was GREAT!!! Location is amazing. We were here for 3 weeks and the trip was made much better by the access to the river. Our dogs were easily accepted, so very pet friendly. My only complaint was Wi-Fi was horrible!

Great place and people. Thank you for your warm heart Tiffany and guys. First warm place in days (or rather weeks) on Route 66 (Chicago to LA). I loved the rabbits and ducks and clear water of Colorado River. Cyclist from Poland

Cute, funky, older motel, right on the water. Dog friendly. Rooms are clean. AC works great. Service is exceptional. There are some up grades going on, and I look forward to seeing this place again. I stayed in the top suite, which has the best views. It has a refrigerator, stove , and toaster. A bit bare on utensils and towels. The Colorado River is beautiful to watch. I didn't have much time there as I was driving through. I'll be back.
