Boulder Beach Campground is located just minutes from Las Vegas along the Boulder Basin of Lake
Mead. It’s open year-round and features large paved sites that can accommodate tents or large RVs,
along with tables, fire pits and/or grills. Restrooms and water spigots are located throughout the
campsites. Temperatures usually surpass 100F (37C) degrees June-August. In May and September,
daytime highs are around 90F (32C). October-April, temperatures are much cooler. Lows can dip to
freezing temps December-February. The area averages 4 inches of rain each year. There is lush
vegetation that provides shade, and many sites have pristine views of the lake. Boulder Beach is
about a 20-minute walk from the campground.
Each campsite provides space for up to eight people with one camping unit, i.e., motor home or
camp trailer. A maximum of two motorized vehicles, four motorcycles or combination thereof if towed
or carried on or by a camper may occupy a site. Paved roads lead to each site, and the sites are
asphalt or concrete. There are multiple water spigots and restrooms spread throughout the
campground. The restrooms have sinks and flush toilets. There are no showers. Accessible sites are
available. An RV dump station and water refill station are located near the entrance of the
campground.

Natural Features
Boulder Beach Campground is like an oasis, because of the lush vegetation that shades nearly every
campsite. There is a mix of palm trees, oleanders, mature cottonwood trees and native vegetation
that also helps provide privacy between sites. Most campsites offer views of Lake Mead, Fortification
Hill and the River Mountains. Wildlife in the area includes many species of birds and lizards along
with antelope squirrels and the coyotes.
