I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the Boulder Beach Campground. We were looking…read moreto escape the already hot temperatures of Las Vegas on a Friday night in early May, 2024. Reservable campsites on cooler Mount Charleston were already taken, so we decided to go to explore Lake Mead. The campground was just minutes from Las Vegas and Henderson. The campground sites offered large sites with paved parking, picnic tables, fire pits, and close proximity to well-maintained and clean restrooms (flush toilets, sinks, running water. No showers). We were dry camping in a Class B RV -- so no hookups -- but the campground had plentiful water spigots and lots of sun to charge our solar panels. There was a mix of campers - from those tent camping to others in large RVs. What was particularly nice was that there was some vegetation -- trees which provided some shade and flowering desert bushes. Our site also had a lovely view of the lake, which was about a 20-minute walk from the campground. (We did not walk down to the beach but others reported that it's rocky). There's a Visitor's Center for the recreation area just a few miles down the street. We spoke with the knowledgable and friendly park rangers, watched a park film, picked up some literature, and bought a few souvenirs.

A perfect destination. Facilities are well maintained. We have visited twice and will return.read more

The state removed the Pahrump poolfish because there was a fish that was not native to the area that had been put in the lake. They then drained the lake and it has been dry for almost three years. The ranger told us yesterday that they hope to refill the lake by the end of 2019. One note for the future hiking around Lake Harriet. The trail on the east side of the trail is closed for restoration. The ranger told us yesterday that it was permanently closed and there would be no loop hike around the lake. As a bit of history, Chet Lauck of the radio show Lum and Abner, who owned Spring Mountain Ranch for a number of years, had the old reservoir moved to the top of the hill and named it after his wife Harriet. The lake is fed by a well that puts much water into the lake. It's a short hike to the top of the hill to see the lake from the parking lot. Just wait until next year if you want to see it with some water.

The added bonus was our river guide, Ian! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and flora/fauna of the region. And such a great conversationalist.

On our way back, we detoured at a small rock beach, for a small hike up to a viewpoint where we admired the river from above. The high was 118 so the cool river water was the perfect way to cool off. Overall- highly recommend this experience for anyone who is looking for a unique Vegas adventure!
