Water Wheel Resort, Blythe

The Water Wheel Resort is not an actual hotel. It is a community of little trailers. So yeah, it is a trailer park. This little community is on the Colorado River (the part in California) and although inhabited by many people coming to jetski, seadoo, and ride their boat, it is fun for the whole family. You can swim in the river and tons of people are there during the warmer season and holidays. When it is summer time, it gets to be up to 130*F at its hottest. So you can run around in your swim suit all day. The draw back is that motor homes and RV's are typically not allowed, and you have to buy or rent a trailer. You can't just ren a trailer for a week; its just like renting a house. The little community has a small general store with ice, swimwear, sandals, food, inflateable toys, sunglasses, a golf cart for sale (usually), and maybe even fishing bait. That's the other cool thing; almost everyone who lives there uses a golf cart for transportation! The roads, made out of gravel, are not very big and are unmarked. You could walk the whole community in twenty-five minutes if you wanted to, but most people enjoy the golf carts. I loved it and want you to know its a fun, desert community. *Note*: It takes approximately four hours to drive from Northwood Courtside, Irvine, Ca to Water Wheel Resort. Make sure to pack lots of clothes, sunblock, bathing suits, and food! Enjoy!!!
