The water level of lake Mead fluctuates from year to year. It hit it's lowest level in 2022 and has been slowly recovering but is still dangerously low. In the past it looks like the beach was only about 1000' from the campground; now it's 3/4 of a mile away.
This is a pretty campground with many trees and vegetation between the sites. The sites are fairly roomy. It's popular and can only be reserved online or by phone so if you want to camp during the winter make reservations early. Amenities include tables, fire rings, grills, restrooms, water spigots, paved parking pads, and a dump station. The accessible sites are excellent with wide paved parking pads and pavement that extends under the table and fire ring. They were all reserved when we visited.
The paved River Mountain Loop Trail which parallels Lakeshore Road can be accessed from the campground. We chose to walk/roll along the 1.5 mile Boulder Beach Front Road for a quieter and more scenic hike. Boulder Beach Access Road which leads to the Front Road is fairly steep so most wheelchair users will need assistance.

A good place to spend a day or two? I see they don't have electric sites, so you wouldn't want to visit when the earth starts warming up. Your photos are great, they make it appear to be someplace we'd want to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice campground and there are a lot of opportunities to hike. I think you'd like it!
