TravelerBeautiful sunsets
The road can be pretty rough but anyone can get down pretty far. Loved the open space and views of the lake.
Guide8 Mile road dispersed camping Lake Mead
While camping at Lake Mead, you can opt to stay in there campground that has electrical hookups, but we prefer to boondock. When you are inside Lake Mead you are able to use the dump station and freshwater to fill up your tanks at Boulder Beach campground.
We love coming here because it is not usually busy and we like our own quiet space. There's also a lot of room for the dogs to run around.

LegendLong washboard road to trashy beaches
8 mile road is open to free dispersed camping for 7 days. There is a couple dumpsters about a 1/4 mile in but that is all for 2.1 miles of terrible washboard road down to the receding water line. No water, toilets, trash cans at beach areas. The limited beach areas tend to be hogged by folks trying to keep other campers at a distance. I found floating trash all along the shore, styerfoam, plastic bottles, ect. Ugh
