Stewarts Point

Stayed here on a Saturday night while we waited for Valley of Fire campground to clear out. Pulled a 32’ TT down one level from the top. Our takeaway: not for us and we do a lot of boondocking.

1. Road in is rough
2. Water is icky (we walked down to see about putting our kayaks in)
3. Did I mention road is a bit rough...even the paved portion Good Verizon and pretty sky at night watching the stars and planes on approach to LV. And it’s free so there ya go...

We arrived on a Friday and essentially followed a paved road past some creepy houses, which turns to gravel all the way to the campsites. I would say get out and scout because you could weasel your way all the way to some prime spots. It was supposed to rain the week we arrived so I played it safe and stayed on the gravel area a quarter mile or so from the water. After fully scouting the area we will go a bit closer to the water next time. We picked up a Wal-Mart bag worth of random glass and beer cans around our campsite, but it was relatively clean area. There were some people coming and going on the weekends, but was relatively quiet during the week. Nights were quiet with an occasional coyote and burro to be heard. Free water and dump six miles south at echo bay. All and all a beautiful spot, that we will return to.

I camped in this stellar site in early March 2019. Stewarts Point is a large, area for up to 15-day camping. There is a vault toilet near the entrance and water/dumpsters/dump station at nearby Echo Bay. Signs recommend 4x4, but there are plenty of sites you can get to in a big Class A or a 2wd camper van like mine. However, the roads close to the lake are soft, washed-out, and/or or comprised of a deep layer of loose rounded rocks. I'd advise a 4x4 overlanding rig, however, if you wish to camp right on Lake Mead. I'm told many vehicles make it down to the lake fine, but aren't able to climb back out. If in doubt, scout it out first.

Compared to Govt. Wash, this area benefits from being farther from Vegas, in terms of less trash and broken beer bottles, darker night sky and less noise. I'd definitely come back.

We came here from Boxcar cove. This is a nice place to boondock. As the other reviews read the water spots are tough to get. We pulled a 12 pop up so we were able to get down to the water. The site was not level at all but we made it work and there was a place to beach kayaks. This is a much busier place than Boxcar but still very pretty. Heard and saw some wild burros across the lake. Less light pollution than the spots near Vegas so stargazing was better! Cell service sucks down on the water. I would not want to arrive after the sun goes down. This place is DARK!!

Fee Area, but a National Parks Pass gets you in free. Tons of open space to camp in the area. 15 day limit. Free dump station, water, and trash service can be found at Echo Bay 10 miles to the South. Overton, NV is about 20 miles North and has most of the other supplies and services a traveler would need. 2-4 Bars VZ 4G LTE unboosted.

Access can be an issue for some of the primo 5-star spots. Bigger rigs will still be able to find a good spot, but may be forced into the more crowded areas, a bit further from the water.

We have a 40 ft Tiffin and the only issue was the road coming down. Just go slow and you'll be fine. It's paved for a while and then gravel... not sure which is worse? The paved is just as bad as the gravel. I guess 120 degrees in the summer baking down is not good for pavement. Bumpy and dusty. But when you get here (past the pit toilet) this place is absolutely amazing!! Desert and lake views are just spectacular! This is boon docking at it's best!!!

We took our toad to the Overton grocery store and they had lots of food, produce and liquor. Overton is just about 12 miles away. Also the La Fonda Mexican restaurant is a great, quaint, small town spot for lunch or dinner with great food! (Split the 2 enchilada lunch special.)

Very quiet, maybe a couple miles from the highway. Just great!

Just remember that it is $20 to enter Lake Mead, so get a America The Beautiful pass for $80 which last a year. As you drive down from the main road you wonder if you are goings to the right place as you pass many residences/shacks.
Stayed a week begining of April and 9 days in June on atrip to and from Utah. Fantastic place but if you do not want to be disturbed by locals fishing or swimming pick the right place - we did once we learnt!
In April it was quite busy but there are masses of places to go (as you get to the vault toilet you can turn right and go further to Rogers Bay. In jume we were the only ones there 80% of the time. It was hot, hot, hot at 40C (104F) but with solar, 12V and 220V fans not a problem - we never used our air conditioning! Midday and evening swimming in the Lake - it can be muddy and suck your feet in, so be carefull where you go.
We camped up on an edge higher away from the swimmers and fishermen (they use 4x4 down very steep places). Using our motor scooter for access to the water.
Trash - as you get to the main Lake Mead road turn left and within 1000ft on the right there is a pull off with a water spring and trash bins. Locals are bad at leaving trash in places some of ewhich we picked up.
Dump - Go to Echo Bay top campground.
Laundry - use the concessionary campground opposite the top Echo Bay campground.
Noise - only 4 stars as it depends where you go.
Vault toilet - at the very top.
Acess - Tarmac is as bad as the track in places for bumps. When you get down to the vault toilet check where you are going to drive dependent on your rig. Well worth walking and checking acess to some great places you can get into even with a big rig.

Shear bliss staying here and difficult to put the RV back in storage to fly back to Europe after this. One of the best spots we have been.

This will be our new go to spot when visiting Lake Mead.

I suggest parking up top near the pit toilets and unhooking to scout. Tons of spots and roads are spread out in every direction. The weekenders fill up the lake spots pretty quick.

Road coming in is partially paved, but a bit bumpy in spots. Take your time and you will be fine. We did it in a 40ft coach with no problem.

There is a camp ground about 15 miles up the road with free water and dump.

Overton is about 20 minutes away and has a grocery, hardware store, and a couple restaurants/bars.

Disregard the 2 star review above, the views are tremendous and the road going in isn't to bad.
