Las Vegas Bay Campground

Nice location for being convenient to Henderson and Las Vegas. Also, nice desert and mountain views. Problem is that there is no campground host on site to enforce the night time quiet hours. We had another group close by that numbered over a dozen who played loud music all night long. In the morning they drove their trucks around the campground squealing tires and speeding almost running over me intentionally. We called 911 and it was at least half hour for rangers to arrive. The culprits were gone by then.

Additionally, the dumping facility was very poorly maintained.The campground would be nice with some supervision and maintenance. Until then, I do not recommend.

AT&T cell service was good. No problems streaming.
All sites, I believe, have a nice picnic table, fire ring, barbecue, with no other hook ups. The Las Vegas Wash (stream), was down a relatively steep hill, but walking distance. Sorry fisherman, no fish in this stream. Trash dumpsters are available as are restrooms.

Good spots-
All spots are relatively the same in terms of quality and I think they’re all pretty good, but the outer loop spaces have the most privacy and best views. Space is 30 and 31 are seemingly the most private, and they have a path that is not as steep to get to the stream than most of them. The even numbered spaces between 40 and 58 (+57) are some of my favorites and also have a stream view and sit on top of a hill. Nice place to put your chair and watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Great little campsite by Lake Mead. Very quiet with sweeping views of the arid, mountainous surroundings. Big sites, for our 21’ trailer. Not many amenities…restrooms, water faucets, picnic tables and asphalt pads. We’re in a non-generator loop (happily), as generators are allowed from 6am-10pm. The bike loop is across the highway from the campground, but it’s really hilly, as the terrain would suggest. Looks like it uses an old highway through the park. We rode a bit of it.

This campground is well-maintained and convenient to Henderson and Las Vegas. I think that's its strong point. The pads are asphalt and many of the sites will fit a larger (30+) rig and be wide enough to park your tow vehicle on the pad as well. One feature of this park that you might not find elsewhere is a little bit of shade. Many of the sites have a eucalyptus tree to provide some shade. It's much appreciated in the desert. We stayed in the back loop which does not allow generators. It was quiet at night except for the howls of the coyotes. And you will want to be careful with your dog because of the coyotes at night. They lie in wait in the bushes along the road. Fortunately I have a big dog so the coyote took off running once my dog snarled.

Camping extensively like it seems most of the Baby Boomers are, I have come to learn that we do not want to do without any form of electricity! OMG, dry campgrounds, boon-docking you WILL encounter the construction generator. This campground allows generators as early at 6am!

There is ONE non-generator loop, a good start, but I believe that the generator loops should be in the minority now…..cheap generators are ruining the entire outdoor experience…

Stayed April 15-18. We were very happy here even though we didn’t have one of the sites with a view. I am not a fan of first come first served campgrounds but thankfully we arrived on a Thursday night. I felt bad for all the people that came through on Friday and Saturday. We had tried for Boulder Beach but it was full already. There is a no generator loop for people who would prefer that. Bring a bottle of hand soap to donate to the bathroom if you are able.
