Hook ups are great
spent a hot night in June passing through. Thankful for the hook ups to run the AC! Gorgeous, Quiet, starfilled night. Right near the lake.
Great views and experience
well Kept.
Nice campground with great lake view
Pros: Boulder Beach was a reasonably priced and decently quiet campground with a wonderful view of Lake Mead. Most if not all of the sites had shade trees, which was also a plus. The campground had flush toilets, sinks, and potable water.
Cons: No showers. I will never quite understand why a facility would choose to go to the effort of having flush toilets and sinks, but not go one extra step and install showers (even coin-op ones for revenue!). The only other con I can think of is that the boundaries between campsites were not quite clear? In the loop where my site was located, each site had a tent pad but there was no rhyme or reason as to where they were located. Basically, every site was designed differently, so I had no idea if I was in my neighbors site or not. It ended up working out, but i could see that being an issue if you have a grumpy neighbor.
But at the end of the day, I'd stay here again if I was in the area!

Ranger Review: Boost Oxygen at Boulder Beach Campground, near Lake Mead, NV
CAMPGROUND REVIEW (updated Oct 2018)
Beautiful old campground, with lake views from nearly every site. Original half was built by the The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1939, with the additional half built in the 1960s. All sites are first come first serve, with tall trees, clean restrooms, water on tap, and friendly hosts. The "newer" side has been renovated in areas, along with the RV dump station area. Cell service and shopping nearby in Boulder City; great bike trail, River Mountains Loop Trail; short walk to the lakeshore.
PRODUCT REVIEW (Jan 2018)
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time. While camping at Boulder Beach, we tested Boost Oxygen. https://www.boostoxygen.com/
This product is promoted for improvements in your Health & Wellness (vitality), Aerobic Performance (go faster & farther), Altitude/Air Quality (I'll update my review this summer in higher altitudes), and Recovery (from fatigue & hangover, lol). I can't say I noticed any difference in any of these areas. Perhaps it will benefit me the most with higher altitude situations, since I can feel the shortness of breath in higher altitude environments. Overall, we felt this product was non-effective, and we would not recommend it or purchase it in the future.

Camping to kayak
Boulder beach campground is pretty, but on weekends it is crowded. We like coming here for it's proximity to the pwc launching area. The sites are well kept, and there are some with plenty of shade. You can even find a few with views of the lake, which is great.
Great place
We love the desert and this place was a gem . I have to say the wild donkeys were awesome and funny. We can see stars in the nights sky for miles so if your a star watcher then this is the place for you. Close to vegas but far enough to be with nature.
Within walking distance of Lake Mead
Nice flat RV parking with hook ups and some spots have Wii Fii although with all the beauty around you you should find no need to use it. We had wild burros walk through the campground every night we were there. Nice showers and picnic tables. Ramp for your boat is close by and a nice convience store and laundry facilities,
Lake Mead
Expensive sites but worth it to be so close to the Strip and still have the feel of camping on a gorgeous lake!
Great car camping
The lake is just outside of Las Vegas so it makes for a great last minute camping destination. My only complaint would be the price. $20 to get into the recreational area and another $20 for camping.
There is water available at the campground along with bathrooms, fire pits and tables.. The campground itself is about a 10 minute walk from the lake. No great trails nearby, but great for family trips or a nice wavering by the fire.
Quiet, clean, nicely laid out, lots of birds
The campground was quiet for as busy as it was during July. Being Nevada it was pretty hot and humid next to the lake, but it was actually a good place to camp with plenty of birds, nice flowers and easy access to the lake for swimming, boating, and such. The tent accommodations are a raised flat gravel bed that was generously proportioned. They had shut off the water for sections of the campground due to drought, but there were still enough open spots in the areas that still had water service. I know quiet and clean sounds boring, but it was just what we needed after a long day of driving and playing in the heat.
