Boulder Beach Campground Boulder City, Nevada 89005 Latitude: 36.0362005272629   Longitude: -114.802601337052 Why we chose here? It sounded nice, was warmer than where we had been and was on our way south Location: Right on Lake Mead. Close to Hoover Dam and Boulder City. Put Lakeshore Road NV into your GPS and then follow the signs, it is on your right after you pass through the fee booth. A full hook up RV park is then on the right, the National Parks campground on the left. Sites: 154, the sites closest to the water are for small trailers. Sites are well laid out with generous room. There are a number of pull throughs, but they are mostly back-in. We stayed in a 35' 5th wheel and had room to park our truck in front - so 52'+.

Facilities: Dry camping. restrooms, no showers, dump station with potable water. Water near camps...

This road in winter would have to be the most picturesque we have encountered on all our travels. It runs along a river and actually comes back into the National Park. Pine trees laden with snow, rocks in the river sprinkled with snow, the sun is shining, and I have to take my jumper off I'm so warm! - in the car of course. It is beautiful.
