Lake Mohave - Nevada Telephone Cove — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

We have a 37’ class A diesel pusher. The road in wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Go slow. Some tight spots so watch for oncoming vehicles. Beach is first come first serve. 7 day camping limit. Free. Restrooms and dumpsters available. Boat launch area. No wake zone for swimming. Shallow water is great for kids and dogs.

This place is special to me. My family used to come here every year, and 7 days free camping right on the river. The road is windy and narrow, but drivable, there is our house and no running water, but they do have a dumpster

This is a free camping area inside the Lake Mead NRA but you do not have to pay an entry fee to access. 4.2 miles of dusty washboard gravel road, with some steep pops up and down, but folks haul TTs and Class As in there. The actual beach area is FCFS, 4 vault toilets, huge dumpster, but no potable water. Cell signal is best on far north end. Signs note 7 day camping limit, and park rangers do patrol this area.

This site is saying Telephone Cove is on the Arizona side and costs money? I stayed at Telephone Cove on the Nevada side....Dispersed camping and free! Took some effort to get there in a large motorhome...but we'll worth it. I kinda doubt there is a Telephone Cove on both sides of ....oh yeah...Lake Mohave...not Lake Mead!!?? Hmmmmm?

Nice place no one was around. Clear water and perfect temperature to swim and paddle in.

Beautiful spot especially if you have kayaks or small fishing boats, easy to launch from camp. Too populated if you are like us and want privacy. We came in the winter thinking it wouldn’t be to be too busy and it was.

used to be right up on the water here, which became pretty nice in the summer months. since the lowering levels id recommend heading somewhere toward the Mohave line as you will not have to commute as far to lake drop ins. otherwise, mountain biking has picked up in this area with easy access to a wide variety of both single track and downhill.

Great primitive campground on the Nevada side of Telephone cove. There's a boat launch, vault toilets and that's it. It's free so it fills up fast on weekends with campers and day use water enthusiasts.
