Accessible via paved roads within Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nellis Cove provides dispersed camping along Lake Mohave's shoreline. This National Park Service site operates without designated campsites or facilities, allowing RVs and tent campers to select their own spots along the water. The area sits northwest of Nine Mile Coves Dispersed Beach Camping, offering similar lakeside access. Standard National Recreation Area entrance fees apply, and campers must follow Leave No Trace principles since no amenities are provided. Bring all water and supplies, as the nearest services require a drive back toward populated areas.
