Homemade, by the people who scoop it
Scoops calls itself “Uptown’s Sweet Spot.” Every ice cream, crepe, coffee and waffle cone is made in house, and the shop mixes antique decor with a soda-fountain feel.

A scoop in a homemade waffle cone
Every flavor is handcrafted in small batches, with real vanilla, fresh nuts and chopped fruit, and the lineup changes, so the case is the menu. Scoops notes that it is not a nut-free shop and lists no-sugar-added options.
RV tip: it is a short drive from the Island parks and easy to fit in after dinner on McCulloch Boulevard, especially on Tuesday to Saturday, when it is open until 10 pm.

Why go
A small-town treat after a lake day
Scoops opened in 2008 on McCulloch Boulevard in Uptown, the city’s original main street. It is the kind of place where the ice cream is served by the people who make it, and the decor leans into nostalgia.
Google rates it 4.8 from more than 600 reviews, and Tripadvisor ranks it #1 of 7 dessert spots in Lake Havasu City. Reviewers mention the flavor selection, the sugar-free options and the friendly staff.
For RVers it is about 6 minutes from Islander RV Resort and Red Rock Waterside, with a free lot and street parking listed on Tripadvisor. It also takes ice cream cake orders if you are celebrating at camp.
