Lake Mead RV Village at Boulder Beach

We enjoyed our stay at this well maintained and attractive campground with great views of Lake Mead. Sites are full sun, so be prepared for the heat in the warmer months. We were in site 906, a long narrow pull-through site. Sites are gravel with concrete patios, picnic table, and fire ring. Sites are narrow for big rigs. RVs are parked in alternating directions, and we were so close to the coach on our drivers side that we couldnt walk between once slides were extended. On the entry door side the next site started immediately at the edge of our 4 patio. Interior roads are paved and easy to navigate. WiFi and T-Mobile signals were decent. Staff was friendly and efficient. We were led to our site at check-in. Easy access from major highways. Once inside the recreation area there is good signage to lead you to the RV park. All in all we would stay here again, but would try for one of the sites nearest the lake which seem to have more space.

We have reviewed Lake Mead RV Village a couple of times for stays within the pull-through sites. But, the latest 2 stays were at the Lake View back-in sites.

Stayed in end of Jan to beginning of Feb 2023
Site type: Lake View Back-in, FHU 50 AMP. Site LV27

THE GOOD
Site: Clean pavement/cement site with gravel living area with some of the best views we have had at any campground. Very spacious. NOTE: You actually park your tow vehicle on the hookup side, so you have even more space for fun. The picnic table and fire pit are behind the trailer/RV near the fence for great sunrise/sunset views
Staff: Always nice folks and helpful.
Grounds: Clean and quiet. Well-maintained.
Cell: Verizon and AT&T worked well. Verizon is better than AT&T. Depends on the day sometimes.
Wifi: Campground WiFi wasn't bad. Not for streaming but can do light work. Unable to connect to VPN.

WORTH NOTING (not good or bad):
It would be elevated if the facilities were nicer. They are just old facilities and bathroom/showers are run down compared to most other parks.
Also, grass is better than rocks/gravel because we have pups.
Always be aware of the coyotes at Lake Mead. You will likely hear the packs at night. Normal if you are comfortable with packs of coyotes. City peeps seem a bit nervous at first though.

Stayed in beginning of Dec 2022
Site type: Pull through, FHU 50 AMP. Site 805

THE GOOD
Site: Clean gravel site with pavement living space and picnic table.
Staff: Nice folks and helpful.
Location: Great place for beautiful scenic drives, amazing natural formations, and not too far from Death Valley (1 and 1/2 hrs). 30 min from Vegas if you want to visit. 5 min drive (you can also hike directly from the campground a couple of miles through railroad tunnels) to Hoover Dam.
Grounds: Clean but older so could use some facilities updating. Great considering it is within the NPS and funding might be short, even though this is the privately owned park (NPS campground is next-door). It's a well-known campground that has been around a very long time.
Cell: Verizon was great. AT&T was acceptable.

THE BAD:
Sites: All gravel and the pull-through sites are tight.

WORTH NOTING (not good or bad):
Showers: The showers are old and lack privacy. For context, there is a privacy curtain sectioning off the 2 shower stalls and then a 3/4 curtain for the shower itself. Trouble is that you need to undress outside of the shower b/c it is a small stall shower, so you are potentially with the other patron getting undressed.

Our first reservation ever and it was such an easy process. We arrived just past sundown so the park rangers were no longer collecting at the toll booth on the way in so we didn’t get to use our pass. There is no light pollution so it gets dark, make sure your lights are on. Reservations were pinned to the bulletin board right outside the office with path instructions to our site but luckily, Camp Host Eleanor met us at the same time and was terrific. Roads are easy to navigate. Laundry room great but payment is through app, no quarters.

We stayed in a back-in Lake View Spot #22 for 2 weeks. An amazing amount of space, level double wide platform, 50/30 amp, campfire ring with bbq, picnic table, full hookups on both sides of your space and a wonderful view.

Short drive to hit the beach, 4x4 recommended on the dirt, for some sun, swimming, jet ski or fishing. There is also a large designated flight area for Model Aircrafts where we happened to witness helicopter rescue training.

We enjoyed the location so much that we decided to stay another 10 days. Moved to another back-in Standard site #1015 that sat across from Boulder Beach Campground. This site has plenty of space but requires gravel trailer parking with a level platform to our stairs along with another gravel spot for vehicle parking. We still had plenty of room to use our own fire pit as well.

Overall, would definitely return for a stay. Will try a Pull Through next.

Overall, nice park. Would stay again. Maybe would stay at a non-lake view back-in vs pull through.
Sites: The back-in sites with the lake view are not available for monthly stays. Lake view sites look like really beautiful spots for a week or less stay,
Stayed for 2 months (March and April 2022) because there is so much to see within an hour or two of the park.
Pull through full hookup. Generously long sites.
Site/parking note: Park closely behind your trailer/RV and your neighbor will do the same on their own space. With this in mind, everyone has a great patio space that is sizable. But, it relies on your neighbor parking like they should. If not, the neighbor's vehicle is about 5-10 ft from your door/window.
Laundry facilities are good. Uses the Wash Connect app.
Propane on site.
Good supplies in the campground store as well.
Verizon and AT&T service both worked about the same and is what we rely on for work.
Campground wifi (as most campground wifi is) was tough to connect to. If you could connect, it would work well enough for very light computer work.

We were doing a drive from the Grand Canyon to Zion and chose to make this a stop along the way. Stayed on a lakeview back-in site which worked very well for us. The park is probably 50% park models and 50% transients like us. Everyone was friendly and the staff were great at leading us right to our campsite. The interior roads are paved and we saw beautiful landscaping throughout. Rode our bikes on the tunnel trail all the way to Hoover Dam, and saw a couple of bighorn sheep scrambling above one of the tunnels.
Plenty of shopping in Boulder City. Used our America the Beautiful park pass to enter the Lake Mead Rec Area. Paved bike trails in and out of the Rec Area. Very nice state park adjoins this RV park - and we saw many large sites that could accommodate big rigs. Only negative was no reservations - so taking a chance on getting a site there. Lots to do in the whole area - highly recommend it.

There are two parks here, Boulder Beach is a National Park campground with no hook-ups and I heard the women in the office say you must have exact change and it is first come, first serve. Lake Mead RV Park is a private park, costs more per night, but has full hook-ups and clean bathrooms/showers. I didn't use the laundry room. The sites are gravel but was pretty level. The sites alternate in directions, are really long, and are really close together, so someone with slides next to another with slides, would need to maneuver in such a way to not hit the neighbor. The service is great, nice staff. The VIEW is beautiful. Well maintained and clean. Cell phone service was minimal, barely worked. The wifi they offered did not work. The park was pretty easy to navigate. And you cannot beat the location. Make sure you take the Northshore Drive (HWY 147), it offers amazing scenery and when you come out at the other end you are by Valley of Fire state park, so make sure to visit that area, the scenery was beautiful, they do close the park during hot days.
