See that lush oasis in the desert? It's no mirage, it's the Needles KOA. At the edge of the Mojave Desert, hand-laid rock walls grace this surprising spot bursting with vibrant bougainvillea, eucalyptus, mesquite and palm trees. Historic Needles is close to the casinos of Laughlin, Nevada, and the scenic ghost town of Oatman, Arizona. There's plenty of life at this campground, where the clubhouse-complete with stone fireplace-is a popular gathering spot for potlucks, Monday Night Football on the wide-screen TV and holiday parties. Free Wi-Fi is available in the clubhouse! The campground store offers award-winning salsa and red-chile marmalade. Stop by the gift shop for Route 66 items.
