Las Vegas Bay sits on Lake Mead’s northwestern shore, offering 89 sites with full hookups, restrooms with showers, and a boat launch. The campground provides solid amenities and lake access, though sites can feel cramped and the concrete pads show its age. Views vary wildly depending on current lake levels, which have dropped significantly in recent years.
Book ahead during peak season as this is Lake Mead’s most popular campground. The road in is paved all the way, making it accessible to any rig. Water levels can expose unsightly bathtub rings, but the facilities remain solid for a base camp near Vegas.
