Lake Mead recommendations

Hi. We want to get away foe a week or so and was looking at Lake Mead. Any recommendations for a nice rv park with hook ups for a class a 40’?
  • It’s been awhile, but we stayed at Boulder Oaks RV Resort. it’s a short distance from Lake Mead. It is an ownership park And you can rent a space for a week at a time. The sites are large and level. We found this to be a good central location for going to Lake Mead, Las Vegas, Hoover Dam and even did a day trip down to resorts on the Colorado River. There is a neighborhood with a small park close by where you can often find Bighorn Sheep if they’re watering the grass. They come down in the Sapir g/summer to feed on the grass.

    Lake Mead RV Village has been redone in the last couple of years. They did a good job. Boulder Beach also has a no-hook up c/g with nice sites but this time of the year you need a generator for the AC.

    Willow Bay. This is on the Colorado River below Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. This was also redone a couple of years ago. Most are "banana sites" (pull-thru on an arc). Nice place to put in Kayaks and Canoes.

    There will be a few people around now but in September when temps stat to drop slightly it becomes busy.
  • Don't go in summer. I like the area near the Colorado River best.
