No, we haven't been to below the dam. We stayed 3 nights at Cattail State Park about 15 minutes out of town, and 4 nights at Lake Havasu State Park. Enjoyed them both. We'd never been to Lake Havasu before, but would go back again (except perhaps in Summer and over Spring Break). We really enjoyed it. Very quiet at both places, though I can see during the busy time, Lake Havasu SP right in the middle of town could get a little crazy.
We were there for a week in early November and I would definitely recommend bug spray (mosquitoes) even at that time of year. Other than that, we loved it.

We camped on the beach on Lake Havasu at Rotary park, during the boat race since we are staff members. Last year we spent a week below Parker Dam at the River Island State Park. There's a bar out in the middle of the desert called "Desert Bar" 
We never made it there because it is only open a few days per week and only part of the year. Website looks like a fun place. We rented a pontoon and made a few stops at some establishments along the Colo, R, with a couple we met at the State Park.

Love Inks Lake. I haven't been there since we bough the Cyclone. It's about 45 min from the house.

Here are some shots from our Colorado camp sites from the summer of 2014:
The first three shots are at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, Colorado (third shot is Cheyenne Mountain itself - Top Secret government facility), fourth and fifth shots at St. Vrain State Park, which was completely destroyed by the Colorado floods just nine months before these were taken, and the last three were shot at the 2014 Colorado Heartland Owners Club Fall Rally at Rifle Gap State Park on the western slope of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
In that last shot, all of the trailers, except for the one at the extreme left and the one with the yellow Jeep in the photo where Colorado HOC members' trailers!
We are going to the Grand Canyon and the Heartland Owners Club Rally in Arizona in January, 2015, so hopefully I'll have a few shots from there to post!

Yes, we are still in Colorado. We are at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood until next Friday. Just near our old house. Can't believe we didn't come here more often. It's really quite lovely. There is a full rainbow out right now, but my silly little smart phone can't get it all in one shot! Congrats John on the new trailer. During the week, there are openings here, you should bring out it for a test run...
