The clear waters of Lake Mohave provide a refreshing escape from the desert heat, especially during the warmer months.

There are also barbecue grills available for those who want to cook up a meal while enjoying the scenic views.

Weekend Camp

Went to set up camp on a saturday around 10am. It was packed! Day goers were gone by around 5pm. It was nice and peaceful, super pretty views. At night the stars are clearly visible. We had a wind storm during our stay so it was cold and windy. Make sure to bring some warm blankets as it can get cold at night into the early morning.

Easy night at 6 mile

6 mile cove was pretty nice, it had plenty of layout to avoid immediate contact with people. It truly is about 6 miles from the road down the power line road to get there. Pretty washboardy. Jumbled up the pod a little ha. There was 3 bathrooms vault style. A huge dumpster that gets maintained. It was a Sunday night we stayed and it wasn’t crowded. 3-4 groups of people. Beach front, but WATCH FOR ALGAE. green floating stuff in the water. Stay away from it. You’ll thank me later.

Great mid week dispersed camping.

Pit toilets, calm water, on beach camping. Come during the week for the most solitude. Can get busy on the weekend.

Four-wheel drive is recommended, especially during wet conditions, as the road can become challenging. Be prepared for the rough conditions by securing loose items in your vehicle before heading down this route.
