Boulder Beach Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Reviewed Apr. 26, 2023

Clean, spacious, great staff and shop

We enjoyed our time here, we had a spot overlooking the lake and saw the sunrise right in front of us, perfect!. It is quiet a way from the lake, and uphill on the way back, not walkable with all your picnic and swimming things. You can park lakeside but it's a rough road for RV's.

Staff were lovely, great little shop, nice T-shirts!

The laundry does not accept coins since covid, you can either download an App which didn't work on any of our 4 phones, or load a card to use in the machine, but needed to load a min of $25 to the card!!!. Madness. So couldn't do the wash we really needed (we were not willing to pay $25 for one wash!). This really needs sorting, several people we spoke to complained about it.

Also there is a weird set up in the shower area, there are no cubicles in which you can fit you and your clothes, you have to leave your clothes outside the shower. Not very private. There is another curtain which can be pulled across the 'changing area', but there are two showers, and if you don't know the person in the other shower you will still be sharing the changing area with them!! Needs updating.

Would recommend to pay for the front row lake view spots, worth the treat :-)

Easy to find, very clean, only 10 mins from Hoover Dam (worth seeing once in your life, go on the full 1 hr tour) and 25 mins from Las Vegas. 

Sadly there is no watersports hire on the beach (or none we could find) but you can book boat trips ahead of time from the marina and kayak the Colarado south of Hoover Dam. Google search for providers.
