In 2022, I spent my Christmas holiday on the western coast of Arizona, specifically at Lake Havasu. It was a delightful experience that I plan on repeating annually. I stayed at a premium campsite that cost $40 per night, slightly more expensive than the standard $30 sites. The premium sites, including mine which was site number 3, were located closer to the beach and offered more privacy. I was also conveniently near the bath house.The view of the lake was breathtaking (see attached pictures). Most of the campsites within this campground offer a lake view, even those that aren't directly on the beach. The best sites for beach proximity are 2,3,7,8,10,14,16,34,36,38,40,41, and they tend to book up quickly. I secured my spot in late August for a December trip and will be on the lookout for cancellations for next year's Christmas.If budget isn't a concern, camping cabins are available at $119 per night with a waterfront view. The campsites are well-maintained, level, and equipped with picnic tables and fire pits. Some even have covered picnic tables. There's minimal shade due to the sparse, small trees, which is great for winter but could be less ideal in the summer heat.The campground is divided into two sections: the Cabin Loop and Windsor Beach. The former has a few campsites with obstructed views and cabins with RV hookups at an extra $30 charge. Windsor Beach offers sites with water and electric hookups and is divided into a North and South section, the latter being closer to London Bridge.Each section has a well-maintained bathroom with individual toilet and shower rooms. The bathrooms are unisex and quite clean. I didn't use the showers due to the lack of heating and the somewhat cold weather. The showers operate on a push-button system that requires constant pushing to maintain water flow.The campground is within walking
