Lake Mead National Recreation Area

IMG_5374a
  The main activities at Lake Mead are boating,swimming,fishing and camping. Campgrounds managed by the park service don’t have hookups but there are some concessionaire run ones that are full hookup. Dispersed camping is also allowed in some areas.

  We camped at Las Vegas Bay Campground. The campground is a little oasis of flowering bushes and large trees-very pretty. It sits along a ridge so many of the sites have a view of the lake (which has receded because of the drought so it’s a far away view) or a view of wetland valley. Most of the sites are small but there are a few that are large enough for class As or fifth wheels.

  There are two handicapped sites next to the restroom. The picnic tables benches have been cut down to allow wheelchairs to fit under the tables but other than that they’re no different than all of the other sites. The ground is hard and most of the sites are level so rolling is fairly easy. Lake Mead
