"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."
"Took my kids and my mom camping for a little vacation away from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. I chose Boulder Beach campground as it was our first time and didn't want to be too far from home."
"You can camp close to the interstate or 3 miles away at the lake. The lake shore gets crowded. The road is bumpy but we saw cars all the way down to the lake."
"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"
"Arizona Hot Springs is located at Mile Marker 4 US 93 South Of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Boulder City, NV 89005. Those directions will take you to the parking lot trailhead."

"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. "
"These are closest to the lake, but when we visited, lake mead was very low, so the shoreline was about 1/4 mile away. Sites had decent spacing."
"Store, propane and great views of Lake Mead. If you are able to reserve a rv pad nearest the lake, you will be in for a treat. All spots have full hookup and picnic table."

"The pin took us off-road to a private BLM spot that went to a dead end in which you can get out of your vehicles and hike .8 miles down to the river."
"Located 45 minutes outside of Vegas, Emerald Cave is an absolute beauty. If you’re looking to get out of the city, enjoy the nice weather and warm lake water, this is the place for you."
"We came in December and even with the cold weather we really enjoyed the MTB trails directly behind the RV park. Short walk to shopping. The park was very clean and the people super nice."
"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."
"It’s very isolated and secluded and it surrounded by trees. If you can make it you can camp and have A whole lake to yourself. Huge fish everywhere and cliffs to jump from."
"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’."
GuidePerfect place to get into the water to cool off on a hot summer day. Tranquil, expansive and unique. Until that one group who shows up... with the jetboat, the generator, and the spotlight. So, maybe avoid weekends, holidays and other days that might encourage people to gather together... if you want to enjoy the water, quiet, and the stars. Definitely worth it if you want to cool off... much nicer than the other side.
TravelerThey charge you camping fees and then an additional day use fee. Alot of places don't charge day use when you are a camper lol
RangerThis place for sure needs a high clearance vehicle. We came in at night and was hard to tell what were spots and which ones were occupied. Road is very rough so ended up staying near the beginning of this road. No amenities here.
ScoutStayed here for a few days before heading to Zion. Great location with all the hook-up’s. We stayed near the laundry and shower/bathroom station and initially concerned about foot traffic but had very little. The place is kept clean and the pool was great, especially to cool down to beat the Las Vegas heat. I would definitely recommend.
GuideBeautiful spot with a great view of the lake (we arrived at sunset) and we were greeted by a very friendly but shy donkey! The access road was 3 miles long on very rough gravel with a lot of sharp rocks so it took us about 30 mins in our car to get there. We have hammocks that can be used as one person tents, and obviously there are no trees here. The ground is a little uncomfortable as it slopes down towards the water. Otherwise it’s a great spot and wish we could have stayed longer! PS it is VERY hot at night!
GuideJust make sure the locks on your rig are working and don’t leave anything out that you want to hang onto. Price is reasonable for Vegas and the proximity to Fremont is nice but it is definitely sketchy. Check in is at the Main Street Hotel and the staff and security are all super friendly and helpful but downtown Vegas is downtown Vegas so just be aware.
RangerStayed one night as we passed through. Spots we nice and level overlooked a small canyon. Campmhost was an older gentleman and was super nice. Water available and very clean bathrooms. Was plenty of vegetation between the campsites. Wasn't a whole lot of people there when we were. Was worried a little a bout th3 crime s other campsites mentioned issues closer to town. A dirt bike cameripping through at about 3am but that was about it. There is a section dedicated to no generator use if you want the extra quite. Temps were at 102 during the day and 70s at night.
RangerThere 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.
RangerStewart’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.
