Islander RV Resort

[KMH]

I'm thinking of getting a spot to park my trailer for the summer. Is this a good place to be or should I be looking at other places??????????

Thanks for your input.....

There are a few members with spots there. Outcole'd and IslanderGirl are two that come to mind. I take my motorhome there and love it. I dont have a seasonal spot though. Having a secure park along with a private ramp is worth a lot to me.

 

[JB in so cal]

With space rent tax and electricity, I'll be north of $600 a month. Private ramp that even on busy holidays is a 5 minute wait. Can seem crowded at times. 10 year age max on rigs in the park. Nice pool area.

I move in April 11 for 6 months.

 

[BUDMAN]

I own a park model at The Islander and love being there. Just like any place it has it's Pros & Cons. To me the Pros out weight the Cons by far. My biggest complaint about the place is the noise curfew 10 O'clock is not cutting it. If you decide to stay there swing by space 382 and say hi. Starting in April we"ll be there almost every other weekend.

 

[Stainless]

Best RV park on the Island IMO.

 

[RVRKID]

Got my reservation for July 4th this weekend.:thumbup:

 

[RiverDave]

Clean park.. But it's like nazi Germany in there.. I would stay there all day long though with my kids etc.. Just not sure I wouldn't get kicked out if I was with party types.

 

[Bigbore500r]

So wait...my 1999 fleetwood Class C motorhome (which looks identical to a 2009 fleetwood) would not be allowed??
There goes that idea :swear

You mean like Auschwitz?

I figured with every one giving a :thumbup: review of it, I reserved a park model rental for end of March. Gonna do some boat shopping and heavy duty partying but, perhaps not any later then 10:00 pm. I'll just walk (stumble) over to the Nautical I suppose

 

[OutCole'd]

Great park, always a good time there. Like it's been said, sometimes, the security can be a little overzealous, but other than that, I love it there.

 

[Abc123]

Many people seem to bitch about the rules, however I appreciate most of them. Very clean facility and I have never had one bad run in with the staff. I have friends who unfortunately couldn't say the same, but I'm pretty quiet and keep to myself.

Very little to no riff-raff, friendly people and very secure. Islander has the nicest ramp in Havasu. :thumbup:

anything over 10yrs old needs to get visual approval. as long as your motorhome is in decent shape they approve it.

Ahhh ok.

Thx

Sounds like my kind of place. When I go to bed I want to sleep and not hear anybody.

The opposite would be Crazy Horse RV Park, no rules. [emoji33]

Thanks for the input looks like we will be moving in sometime in April. I think its space # 162. Here is a picture of my setup should be able to find me.

 

[JB in so cal]

The 10 year rule is kinda weird as the Vinyl Wrap guy has EVERYTHING wrapped in either bright green or chrome. I dunno, but a 15 year old coach that's in great shape is better to look at than a 5 year old lime greed anything:rolleyes

Seriously. That site is such an eyesore and it's right near the park entry.

Since he's obviously trying to advertise, his company slogan should be "I can make your shit this ugly too!"

 

[shintoooo]

Isn't that where all the "swingers" hang out?

I'm right above him. Tell me about it.

 

[riverroyal]

5 of them full time..i love the rules and have 2 teenage boys. If your a assclown rule breaker then its not for you. If you like to party within reason and then actually get some sleep then its perfect! We have had many many 2am drunkin nights there with no issues. But if you screw up, your gone. They actually enforce the rules you sign up for. Crazy huh.
I spent the last summer basically boatless, had a blast still. Private beach you can roll your cooler to the water, kick ass new pool, cans and plastic cups are enforced. Pool table, shuffle board, golf cart or walk to the turtle, off road on the island. No complaints.
The Nazi enforcement is not accurate, they just make sure everyone is enjoying their time there. If you are being bothered by some asshole they handle it, pretty great service if you ask me.

My buddy is across and down a few. I shake my head every time I pass by it.

 

[underpressure]

Ive been there 2 summers and now 1 winter...love it. You guys don't know what a park "nazi" is until you've spent some time at Black Meadow Landing...

They do enforce the 10 year rule, and also "your coach needs to be updated". Mine (a 2009) has some crinkled up graphics from being exposed to the sun in Havasu and Glamis. Got a notice to get it fixed...

I sit outside every night until midnight or later listening to music and have NEVER been approached by the staff about it.

The ramp is primo!

I'd be screwed then...mine has the typical slightly faded / chalky graphics that all fiberglass sided RVs get when exposed outside.

 

[HavasuHank]

We really enjoy the Islander. Out of all the years we have been going there, I think only once the security came by and told us to tone it down ... not to stop, but tone it down ... and that was around 1am.

We like it so much that I am currently looking at places to buy there. The private ramp is a huge plus.

The Islander could be strict at times, but it does keep the riff raff out for the most part. The park is really clean and most of our friends are there.

 

[Mandelon]

If Hank gets in, obviously the "no riff raff" rule is not being enforced. :thumbup:

Islander is fun. You'll like it. :thumbup: We enjoyed it there for several years.

That's only in the winter time. The snowbirds like to get their freak on.uke:

 

[JB in so cal]

Space 98 & 179 Park Model are listed 4/sell.Ballpark,what would approx month space rent be?

$550 to $650 I'm guessing

 

[rush1]

I'll be there for spring break and the 4th and monster bash stop by and say hello, we love that place

Good looking set up :thumbup:

 

[Bigbore500r]

I see some of these park models for sale have a good sized carport / covered driveway. Are you allowed to store your boat under your awning / carport?

 

[Lunatic Fringe]

Are you asking, or are you telling?:rolleyes

 

[OutCole'd]

Yes, most are fabric covers though, so no rain protection.

 

[Bigbore500r]

If you owned the park model, you could upgrade to a metal / more peramanent structure right? I'd consider buying a park model, given all amenities there, beach, slips, ramp etc. I would need to keep my boat there for it to make sense, and would want a permanent structure overhead to keep water / sun off it. Maybe i should check it out when I'm down there for DS

No, due to fire code, it can't be a solid structure.

I owned a park model there for 8 years and loved it. The only piece of advise for someone interested in buy a park model there is to make sure it's currently active in the rental program. They won't add any more units into a rental, and you never know what you will want to do with it years down the road. If i could have rented mine out to snowbirds for 4-5 months, i would still own it today.

 

[Bigbore500r]

Good advice....thanks!

I spoke with Ann a few days ago ... the models I am interested in are not on the rental program. Damn.

She then says "maybe I can do something about it" :headscratch: ... not sure if she's trying to hook me in, or if there really is something she could do. I do know that there is a list with people waiting to get on the rental program.

 

[Englewood]

Is there a beach to park boats? Docks?

 

[HavasuHank]

Yes and yes.

If you buy, make it contingent in writing that you are in the rental program. When i bought, they made it sound like I could join in no big deal, not the case.

The tough part, it even if they were to add your unit, there is no guarantee they would rent your unit out. It's best to get one that is rented every year and the snow bird requests that unit. I miss being Pauls neighbor, i never thought I would say that.

Yore right. I think the wisest thing to do is to request a list from Ann of the units for sale that are both on the rental program and that have had consistent renters.

 

[Rising Sun]

Bob Leach and I have been reading the responses to your inquiry. Bob wanted me to let you know that he considers the Islander a great place and that he feels it is the safest place for what you want.

Me personally, I feel that not all boaters are partiers and that the Islander is trying to provide a family environment. I feel that if you want to party, there are plenty of places in Havasu to do exactly that. I like the Islander too and that is one of the many reasons why I do.

Good idea.

The Islander is a great place.I have been there for 20 years.The rules can be tough,but you will learn to like the safety for your family.The docks for a 6 month lease is 190.00 a month.My space rent is 800.00 plus taxes a month for water front,but, where can you be on the water and have a dock for about 1050.00 a month.The Islander force me to buy a new 5th wheel about 4 years ago, because of age of the trailer I had.They seem to be easier on 5th wheels.... if they are older.I have learned that Ann can do what she wants,but get it in writing.

I like what they did with the guy who decided to hot dog around the park in his truck while drunk last summer (or was it the summer before?). They called the cops, had him arrested for DUI and booted him out of the park immediately! :thumbup:

I would see similar behavior happen at The Beachcomber and security did nothing.

That was a tough deal.

A buddy if mine invites his boss out to the river for the weekend. They party all day, and my buddy who stays at the Islander has had enough and goes to bed. Well his boss decides it would be a good idea to do burn outs in the park. Got the DUI, and my buddy gets the boot the next day cause it was his guest.

Bottom line, be careful who you invite out there.

Yes, that is a total bummer. Any talk about letting him back? I know that the Islander has let people back in after the dust settles. Then again, totally different staff now.

I believe he'll be back this Summer. I hope so, cool guy. Nice Howard cat!

What is the prices for not being on the water with a RV. $800 is almost twice what my house payment is in Havasu. :yikes
