So since the Big River Inn has closed, I have opted to move the Fathers Day event down to Blythe. The hosting hotel will be the new Hamtpon Inn off Intake Road right off the 10 hwy. We will be launching from the Riviera. They have dropped the launch rate from $20/day down to $15/day for people of SCJB.
Dates: Weekend of June 17th, 2016
Hotel Group Rates: $99/night (Mention SCJB)

Shade tree, paver patio, green grass? Might have to check that place out. Is that Riviera?
-
Yes. Most of Riviera has grass and a lot of spaces have some type of patio. Only issue is it's right next to the freeway, so you've got to be able to tone that out.

the freeway is my one and only issue with staying there, easy to tone out in the summer months with the lil bit of noise around from the other camps, not so easy when my wife and I went out this past winter lol. I love it there though for sure👍🏼

What's the parking lot and general safety of boats like at the Hampton Inn? I've never stayed there (or in Blythe) and would like to wake up with my boat still intact. Thanks

it's a tight fit I park in the dirt field but over looking the lot almost got jack last season
-
Blythe finest come out when were in town
-
I haven't had problems at the motels I've stayed at, but had someone take a bag of towels and a small camera out of the boat in the Denny's parking lot.
I'd recommend taking anything loose out of the boat and using a cover if you have one.
-
Lock anything loose behind the truck.
-
So I was gonna camp with the trailer but my chick is Oregon and doesn't wanna tow the boat out rather one car and hotel so wondering. Where everyone's launching from and hanging out at. This will be my first event be me and the boy in the boat and momma on the beach. Should I launch outta riviera or McIntyre?
Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats
-
Definitely want to launch out of Riviera or a park more north. McIntyre is further south. We will be hanging out at Jungle Beach by Hidden Beaches. I am going to put together more info all about this soon.
FYI....don't use the shell station off intake road in Blythe. My credit card got skimmed there last night. They went on a Walmart shopping spree today in Phoenix.

I dont go to blythe often. But i have a few times and when the waters really low seems like the only place to launch is mcyntire.
Or has that changed now?

Rivera get shallow deff pay attention last time on Friday I had to walk the boat out onto the main river
Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats

Yes, it's shallow on Fridays but not the end of the world. I will be providing details about where to go and not go on the water. The path is pretty basic as long as you pay attention.

I wrote up a thread on the navigation of the river between the 10 freeway and Jungle Beach. You can find it here:

Any issue with day use boat trailer parking at Riviera? Suggestions for "overflow" if needed?

I am going to work with the park on that. They have already promised me that they would drop the cost of launching to $15/day for our group. I am also going to ask them if they will allow overnight boat parking there so you dont have to leave your boat parked at the Hampton
Also, here is some info about parking at the Hampton....
Blythe has a lot of crime in the area. I have heard of some theft in the past (beach bags, ice chests, etc). I highly suggest you cover your boat if you park it there and take anything with you into the hotel room that can walk away. There is very minimal parking at the Hampton. All of the spots are single car spots except for 4, which are outlined in green below. There is a large dirt parking lot out font. You can gain access to it on the corner that the red arrow is pointing. It goes without saying, the Hampton Inn and SoCalJetBoats are not responsible for any stolen items.
