Earp, California · Colorado River
Your home
on the
water's edge
Lakeside rooms steps from the Colorado River — a quiet basecamp for boaters, anglers, and anyone seeking the desert's stillness.
A place to linger
by the river
Nestled along the Colorado River just south of Parker Dam, Yuma Lakes Resort has been a quiet retreat for travelers since the 1960s. What began as a modest fishing stop has grown into a well-loved lakeside destination — still unpretentious, still welcoming.
Our rooms face the water or the desert garden. Mornings begin with herons at the shore and the low hum of a distant outboard. Evenings settle in with the sound of reeds in the breeze. It is the kind of place that slows you down without asking anything in return.
