Boulder Beach Campground

We stayed here Sept. 4, our first night after picking up our rental RV. After we got our site we decided to see Hoover Dam as it was very close and with the sun setting it was beautiful. We came back to the campground after dark and only a few others were in the whole place. We saw jack rabbits in the morning and a road runner. The lake was pretty low but still pretty.

Flush toilet / water available / bathroom sink / no shower / table / fire pit / easy access / middle shade.

You have to pay 25$ to enter in the recreational area… America the beautiful pass accept. Campground is little bit noisy because a lot of people come here during week-end. Sanitaries have bathroom sink and flush toilets, there are clean. Sites have not a lot of shade, and lack a little of privacy. Try to be there early to have those with the lake view.

The real attraction of this campground is the Mead Lake: you can swim, water is really good and clean. After a hot day, or when you wake up, it's really pleasant! There is a nice beach just down the campground. The mineral landscape is amazing, especially at Sunset.

It's just 45mn from Las Vegas, it can be a good option if you don't want to take an hotel.

I stayed here three days. I got there early and was lucky enough to find a site that is closest to the beach. Great views. Place was very quite (occasional generator, but didn’t bother me), clean, level spots. I didn’t use the restroom as I have a self contained. From what i read there is no showers. Dump station was next to exist. Plenty of places to walk the dogs.
This is definitely on my list to stay again.

Lots of sites at this campground. Noise wasn’t bad at night and we were able to find a somewhat secluded spot showing up after 3pm on a Sat passing through. Worth the extra drive to get away from all the Vegas business. Our 2 year old loved the dinosaur adventure in Boulder City only about 10 min away. There are a few cute things over there, we went to ride out the heat of the day instead of running a generator for AC. The sunset was the best part! Magnificent! Would definitely stay here again. It’s all first come first serve and plenty of spots!

The campground is only 5mi from the Hoover Dam and 1mi from the waters edge of Lake Mead. All of the trails and some parts of the lake are dog friendly which is rare in a National Park. If you're looking for somewhere your pup can swim stay to the right of the Boulder Beach Swimming Area towards the "special event" beaches.

The park has free/open wi-fi through the National Parks Access Broadband. It was strong enough we streamed Netflix and were easily able to upload photos to social media. It is 4/15/19 and clearly it's still within the "spring break" window. Day time is full of families and lots of kids riding bikes, skateboards, etc...it can get a little noisy. By 9pm however everyone was settled for the night and we were easily able to fall asleep with all of the windows open.

The RV Park next door to the campground has full hook-ups but I hear that they charge for a "waters edge" spot...keep in mind the water level is about 1mi away from the edge of those sites.

In addition to the free wifi we had nearly full 4G service on Sprint and Verizon without the use of our Weboost. There is potable water at the very easily accessible dump station.

We came here after boondocking in the forest near Grand Canyon to be close to Hoover Dam for our next stop on our journey. What a shocker it was to leave such a peaceful place in the woods to arrive at this busy campground with so many small sites packed into it. There is very little privacy or shade here.
We are quiet people an we like to camp near others who are as respectful as we are when it comes to noise. We did our best to select a spot that might allow us some peace. Stayed away from rigs with generators, dogs, and large groups.

So we found our spot. Unfortunately we were surrounded by campfires and we had a serious hard time breathing from all the smoke. That kept us awake, and after 10 pm (the normal quiet hour) we had to go over and ask our neighbor to kindly turn down his home theater surround system. Action movie, of course, and if it was a little loud we could've dealt with it, but it was shaking our windows loud, and my earplugs didn't stand a chance. This was a first for us.
We couldn't wait to leave first thing in the morning.
There was a dump station and potable water. Yay!

We had lots of plans for our winter trip, but the weather and government (shutdown) are apparently two things you can never count on. Though the weather was unseasonably cold and we weren't sure what conditions awaited us at this first come, first serve campground, we went anyway. It was just a stopover at Lake Mead, and if the property wasn't being respected, we could fall back on the casino parking lot nearby. But this campground was as lovely as the people who were camping in it during the shutdown. Everyone was kind, friendly, picking up after themselves, and packing out their trash.

There are no hookups but the water was still on, so we filled our tank at one of the spigots near our site. There is also a dump station, but we didn't use it.

The sites are not on top of each other, and those closest to the water have been updated with paved pads. By the way, the lake is not close and there is no beach access, so if that's something you're looking for this is not the place. However, the River Mountains Loop Trail is nearby and that's a 35-mile paved bike path. We rode it to the Historic Railroad Trail (a bit of a climb), and that's a neat ride. Unfortunately, the third tunnel (of five) is being repaired so we weren't able to ride all the way to Hoover Dam. Maybe someday.
