I was a little unsure after reading some other reviews about this location, but we have found it to be an absolutely lovely spot. We camped right on the lake front at the end of the road. Probably not possible for a larger rig as the road is quite Sandy and steep, but perfect for us. The weather was idealic everyday. Mid 80's during th... more

The dirt road off Northshore Rd is called both Crawdad Cove Rd and Boxcar Cove Rd. My GPS used one name, and Google maps the other. They split after about 1/2 mile, Boxcar being the left fork and Crawdad the right. From Northshore Rd, drive 2.6 miles down the wash, then up the hill to the left. The camping area is over the top of the h... more

We dropped our 5th wheel in Henderson Walmart to scout this area prior to driving in. Driving from Henderson, you will come to a park entrance booth that has a $20/ week fee/vehicle to enter the Lake Mead National Recreation area. If you have a national park pass entry is free. You can actually take a large rig (40+ ft) to the e... more
