"Took my 2wd on the road there a couple times, ok if youre an experienced driver but still rough on suspension...Was able to get a shady in AM spot off the shore of the lake, away from the hustle and bustle"
"Access to lake mead, plenty of little pull offs scattered throughout a small valley to set up camp in, a vault toilet, and a herd of Burros roaming around."
"Oasis is a great location to spend a night or two if you want to jaunt into Vegas for bit. It’s also very central as an overnight for heading into Utah or Nevada from SoCal."
"This place is an Oasis, away from the hustle and bustle. Refill propane on-site. The only negative thing is they do not provide valet trash pickup(as mentioned by a staff member)."
"During our recent trip to Las Vegas, we chose to stay at KOA Sam's Town, and our experience was positive overall."
"Sorry tent campers Nevada doesn’t allow us!!! So make sure you are prepared for a different option such as lake mead or red rock."
"Prefect midway stop between Vegas and Lake Mead. The park is extremely clean and has everything you need. The front office staff is very friendly and helpful."
"Very close to downtown Boulder City."
"Beautiful sunsets near waterline. Tent and/or vehicle camping only in this lower area. RV camping up on hill side. Fishing good. Hiking good. Lots of birds and some coyotes. Watch your small pets!"
"There are trash dumpsters at the entrance to the dispersed camping area and we saw BLM folks out patrolling. Many off road paths around to take your jeep or side by side. "
"We had an amazing lake view site with full hookups for our rv. It was only 7 minutes to the hover dam and 5 minutes into Boulder City. The only down side was it wasn’t made with kids in mind."
"Called the morning of arrival to see if we could come in early as we were only about 1.5 hours away due to poor planning i.e. hard to get last minute reservations near the Grand Canyon South Rim."
$20 / night
"Boulder city is a great town to resupply and outfit."
"Arrived here after an adventure drive from Washington, camping along the way.
We have family in Boulder City and having the space 46 at Boulder Beach was fabulous."
$32 - $85 / night
"They have a pool, hot tub, clubhouse, arrows around the park that weave you through the park totally a 1 mile distance. Everything is asphalt. Walkable to Sam's Town Casino."
"It's a short drive away from good eateries and they allow Uber eats ! Sam's town is nearby , which has bowling and a full sized and very modern cinema facility."
"All sites has prefect views of the surrounding mountains. All sites that are situated on the outer rim of the campground, be weary. Most have a good steep decline not to far away from the pavement."
"Quiet beautifully maintained campground with a dump station, portable water, spigots near restrooms and flush toilets. Firings and picnic tables at each site. Very few sites for rigs over 26’."
"People come from miles around to see it, but those real die hard also come here to camp in the wilderness surrounding the wonder itself."
"Didn't have to drive as far aspin. Saw RV and others on left after signs. Few turnouts then none. Big dump trucks coming out. One flashed brights at me idk why."
GuideThere are some soft sand spots. Pretty wide open spots. No services. Cell service. It was very windy, and sand everywhere, so only stayed here for 2 nights.
GuideStewart’s point was great to us! Came in at night and woke up to some awesome waves. It was very windy when we stayed here. You can hike forever and close to valley of the fire! There is one toilet- didn’t check it out. Done service here. Lots of donkeys around but they didn’t bother us.
GuideThe drive down to the campground wasn't bad just dusty. The water level was way down. They still did have a road all the way to the water. They have 2 compost bathrooms. Beware, the road in is easy and there are areas of deep gravel and sand. With that being said the cl8mb out of there could be a struggle without a 4 wheel drive especially pulling a camper. I saw a couple struggle to get their 2WD truck out. Also it was 109F in the canyon during this time and there is no shade in the park. Water temp was awesome though.
TravelerJust a big asphalt lot. There is a small pool and pet relief area.
TravelerNeeded a place to best the heat while passing through Vegas, was a good 20 degrees cooler . Pretty busy area with alot of campers who may live there. If you have 4x4 and some clearance you can offroad to some pretty interesting spots up the mountain. All in all a quiet and cool night.
GuideYou'd think that being nestled in the Red Rock canyon area the views from here would be amazing. Maybe they are in one or two spots, but nothing of the sort in the RV area.
I choose the RV spots since they seemed the furthest from what is a dense camping area; made to feel more so since there are no trees or anything to block the views of your neighbors 15 feet away. To call these RV spaces would be a stretch. It was a gravel parking lot with picnic tables and a few fire pits. And again, with no views at all since it's in a bit of a bowl shaped recess.
No cellular service until you get a mile closer to the highway, so be prepared to go off line.
I will compliment the bathroom as being adequate.
No host on site. That didn't matter to us.
Conditions in the region change fast and can be extreme. Be prepared.
The access to mountain bike trails was nice, even though we had to cross into some disallowed spaces to access them.
LegendBeautiful area just outside of Laughlin, Nevada. Right on a Cove of Lake Mead. Four Mile unpaved Road to get down to the lake and anywhere between 15 to 20 camping spots depending on group size. Small boat launch for jet skis but not for bigger boats. Do not recommend trying to take anything bigger than a 35 ft RV down there. Two vault toilets and a garbage dumpster. Road is recently grated and other than a little bit of noise until 10:00 p.m., a great place for a night or several. Stay limit here is 7 days. I arrived Friday at 3:00 p.m. and found the last spot.
TravelerWe are in a short skoolie and so clearance was not an issue - we stayed out of the sandier areas at the beach and did fine. It is a tricky road but slow is the key.
Arrived earlier in the day on a Monday so there was a lot of space when we arrived but it filled up pretty quickly - sure it is busy on weekends. We did get a visit from a burrow. Water is beautiful, views are beautiful. Lots of dogs and rocks so if mobility is an issue, the terrain is a bit challenging. Overall, great stay.
GuideStayed here many times in the past several months worth of dates spread over 2005-2007, 2013, 2018, and 2025. Nice upgrades since my first stays including the shaded structure spots.
This place is clean, a bit noisy, and very busy (busy-ness, loudness, light pollution are my reasons for only 3 stars).
I don’t remember hearing the gun range in the past but heard it each time I stayed recently (8 nights Mar-May 2025).
Typically booked but have been able to find a spot that was unoccupied (but reserved by someone else) by coming in late night/early morning; 5/5 on that this season.
