Sunshine. Wide-open water. Unforgettable days on the lake. A Lake Havasu summer vacation is pure magic—and the best way to do it is with your boat in the water, your feet in the sand, and your basecamp just steps from it all.

Ready to start checking things off your Lake Havasu bucket list?
✅ 1. Launch Your Boat and Hit the Water
Lake Havasu is all about the water—and when you're staying at Black Meadow Landing, you're already there. Skip the public ramps and get out faster with our on-site boat launch, boat slips, and gas dock right on the lake. Whether you're fishing, wakeboarding, tubing, or just floating with friends, your next lake day starts here.
✅ 2. Cruise to Copper Canyon
This legendary party cove is a must-visit, especially on summer weekends. Copper Canyon is known for its scenic cliffs, social energy, and the perfect spot to anchor and swim. It's just a boat ride away from BML—so pack your cooler and head over!
✅ 3. Drop Anchor at the Bridgewater Channel
One of Lake Havasu’s most iconic attractions, the Bridgewater Channel beneath the London Bridge is where boaters gather to float, mingle, and soak up the summer vibe. Pull up, toss the anchor, and spend the day surrounded by music, sunshine, and fellow lake lovers.
✅ 4. Visit a Floating Tiki Bar
Yes, it’s real. Hop aboard a Cruisin’ Tiki—a floating bar that cruises around the lake while you sip, snack, and take in the scenery. It’s BYOB, super chill, and an unforgettable way to see the lake from a new angle. Find out more about Tiki Tours here!
✅ 5. Beach Days + BBQs at Black Meadow Landing
Back at BML, the good times keep rolling. Set up your chairs and shade for a lakeside chill session, or fire up the grill for a classic group BBQ (a local tradition, especially on holiday weekends). Forgot something? Our on-site store has your essentials. Don’t feel like cooking? Grab a bite at our casual diner, open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
✅ 6. Explore Topock Gorge by Boat
Often called the “mini Grand Canyon,” Topock Gorge features colorful cliffs, clear water, and abundant wildlife. It’s a peaceful, scenic boat ride from BML that shows off the quieter, more natural side of Lake Havasu.
✅ 7. Catch an Epic Sunset (and Maybe Some Stars)
Evenings at Black Meadow Landing are something special. Watch the sun dip behind the mountains as golden light dances across the water—then stay out a little longer for stargazing under dark desert skies. Bring a blanket, your favorite drink, and maybe someone special.
✅ 8. Stay Your Way: RV, Inn, or Rental
No RV? No problem. We’ve got options for every type of traveler:
RV Sites – Full hookups, just steps from the lake
The Burro Inn – Private, redecorated rooms with kitchenettes
Park Model Vacation Rentals – Compact, comfy, and perfect for small groups who want a homey stay near the water
