A Journey Through Time
Fender’s River Road Resort is located on one of America’s most legendary highways: Route 66, also known as the “Mother Road.” Our resort rests on a stretch of this historic road that was once part of the National Old Trails Road, one of the earliest transcontinental highways. This location gives us a rich heritage that connects past travelers with modern adventurers.
Dating back to the 1960s, our resort has kept its vintage charm while evolving to meet the needs of today’s travelers. What started as a simple roadside stop has grown into a full-service resort offering RV sites, motel rooms, and access to the beautiful Colorado River. Guests come to Fender’s for the perfect blend of nostalgia, adventure, and relaxation—whether they're retracing the steps of historic Route 66 or discovering the natural beauty of the river.
