Emerald Cave Dispersed — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Reviewed Aug. 30, 2020

Not free camping!

We stayed here last night and there is a lot of misleading info with the last review.

  1. It is a $25 fee to enter this area. You do get access to all of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam area which is cool but disappointing when you aren’t prepared.
  2. The campground is the only thing available and it is $52 a night!! There is absolutely NO SHADE so at 117 degrees outside we were miserable. The river is super cold which was nice but there is no beach & lot of people who are there for the day from Vegas.

I wouldn’t recommend.
