Within Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Temple Bar Campground sits 26 miles from Highway 93 via paved road access. The National Park Service manages this 71-site facility positioned above Lake Mead, where oleander, eucalyptus, and olive trees dot the landscape. Sites include tables and fire rings, with scattered water spigots and dumpsters throughout the grounds.
The campground operates on a reservation-only basis with no first-come, first-served availability. Flush toilet buildings serve the area, though campsite pads run relatively short, reflecting construction from the early 1970s before larger RVs became common. Cell service remains unavailable at the sites, though WiFi operates at the marina store below. Showers and laundry facilities are located down at the marina level.
