Las Vegas Bay (Lake Mead National Recreation Area)

Mar 12, 26 - Mar 15, 26

Join us for a relaxing weekend overlooking the Las Vegas Wash and Lake Mead. Conveniently located between Henderson and Boulder City, there are plenty of places to explore including Hoover Dam, historic Boulder City, and the Water Street District in Henderson. Take a longer ride through Lake Mead National Recreation Area to Overton (60 miles) for lunch, and stop along the way at Callville Bay, Red Stone, Rogers Springs, and Valley of Fire State Park. There is no fuel at the campground, but fuel is available at Callville Bay, and in Boulder City, Henderson, and Overton.

Cost: $20.00 a night or $10.00 a night with an access pass. Individual reservations are required but sites can be shared. We have spots 59 and 60 reserved, so try to get reservations for spots 61-71. Spots 4-7 and 72-76 are OK but have more vehicle traffic is on that side of the loop.
