Six Mile Cove

We camped here November 1-3, 2020. We were looking for a less crowded alternative to Telephone Cove, NV so we could ride Christmas Tree Pass on our adventure bike and thought we'd try Six Mile Cove. It is a lovely, small cove on Lake Mojave with some small "hills" on the north side that we walked up on to get an overview of the area.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and there was one other camper. It appears that this location can get crowded since there are several vault toilets and huge dumpsters. Six Mile Cove is smaller than Telephone Cove and, at this time, the water level of Lake Mojave is low; higher water levels would further reduce available camping space. Unfortunately the dirt road into Six Mile Cove is badly wash-boarded, or at least, our F-350/truck camper combination had a hard time; we had to go extremely slow and even on the motorcycle, the road was not fun to ride on. Other than the washboard, the road in is actually a straight shot from Searchlight and Google map directions were correct. In the cove itself, I did not have a usable Verizon cell signal. I did discover that when I walked down to the water and turned right, south, my Verizon cell signal was strong enough that I could open news apps. We arrived with water from our previous camping spot and dumped our tanks at our next spot, so I don't know what services, if any, are available in Searchlight, NV. Unfortunately, the combination of the road and no signal means we won't return.
