Stewart’s Point Dispersed Camping — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

Welcome to Stewart’s Point Dispersed Camping in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, NV. This spot is perfect if you're looking for a no-frills, wide-open camping experience with some stunning views of Lake Mead. The area is massive, so you’ll have plenty of room to spread out and find your own slice of solitude.

One of the standout features here is that it's free to camp. You won't find any electric hookups or running water, but there is a pit toilet at the entrance. If you need to dump your tanks or fill up on water, Echo Bay is just 12 miles away and offers those services for free.

The road in can be a bit rough, especially if you’re heading closer to the water. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended if you want to get right down to the shoreline. But even if you stay higher up, you’ll still get some fantastic views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

Wildlife is abundant here. You might hear coyotes howling at night or catch a glimpse of wild burros and cows roaming around. Just keep an eye on your pets, especially the smaller ones.

Cell service is decent, with T-Mobile and AT&T providing fair to good coverage. Overton is the nearest town, about 15 miles away, where you can stock up on groceries, gas, and other essentials.

Visitors have mentioned that it can get pretty windy, so be prepared for that. But overall, it’s a peaceful spot with a great night sky, though you might see the glow of Las Vegas in the distance. If you’re into hiking, there are some great trails nearby, and the Valley of Fire is also close if you want to explore more of the area.

So, pack out what you pack in, enjoy the wide-open spaces, and soak in the natural beauty of Lake Mead.
