2. Rustic cabin along the river
Those seeking some outdoor fun can find great camping accommodations at Arizona Oasis RV Resort, located across the Colorado River in the small town of Ehrenburg. The resort offers several superb vacation rental options such as this rustic cabin for six guests, just about (90 m)100 yards from the river. It comes with a front-porch swing and a small BBQ grill, although you will have to head to the nearby clubhouse for bathing and kitchen amenities. The riverfront beach even has bonfire areas, but you will have to bring your own firewood, booze and guitar.

4. Rustic cabin for rough-and-tumble outdoor living
Who needs comfort when you want to experience the rough and tumble of the American outdoor life? This one-room cabin is not for those who want coziness: It has a reclining massage chair (that doubles up as your bed), a refrigerator and a TV set, and that’s about it. Amid such basic amenities, you can still enjoy outdoor activities nearby, such as fishing, swimming, hiking and even some duck or deer hunting. At a dirt-cheap rental price, this is as authentically rural as it gets.

6. RV trailer at riverside resort
Rural cabins too spartan for you? Why not rent a RV trailer instead? The Arizona Oasis RV Resort offers such an option on its premises. Unlike its wooden cabins, the trailers come with kitchen and showers, as well as the amenities that go with them (e.g. towels and utensils). Spacious and cozy enough to host up to four guests, some units offer a pull-out couch or a dinette that makes into a bed. Guests can enjoy the resort’s clubhouse facilities, as well as rent its outdoor equipment to explore the river and its surroundings.

7. Idyllic stay on the banks of the Colorado River
By the time the 1,450-mile (2,334 kilometers) Colorado River passes by Blythe on its way to the Gulf of California, it had already visited five US states and carved out the mighty Grand Canyon. The flow is calm and the scenery is idyllic, and many build their homes by the riverside to enjoy such rural pleasures. This quaint little house is a great example, located just steps away from the river bank. While the house is small, it is a double loft with three bedrooms upstairs, good for up to five guests on the premises. As it is well away from the city center, it is a great choice for a quiet stay and quality time with your family.

8. Holiday home with a bevy of recreational options
Back on the Blythe side of the Colorado River, this huge holiday house is ideal if you want plenty of home comforts during your stay. Just check out what it has: Enough beds for seven guests, leather sofas, a flat-screen TV with DVD player and a Nintendo Wii game console, toys for kids and an outdoor BBQ grill. Want more? Since it is located in a marina estate, you have access to clubhouse facilities like gym, pool/spa and even a ballroom for private parties. And we haven’t even mentioned the nearby river trails and boating options along the river. There is only one small drawback amid all these recreational fun: No WiFi on the premises, yet.
