Lake Mead RV Village at Echo Bay

This was an older / run down area but the park itself was clean. There was a bathhouse and laundry facility as well as a super old playground. Not much to do close by but Vegas was a little over an hr away. We fit perfectly fine with a 42ft 5th wheel and they got us in last minute, which was great.

Not much to do close by but Vegas was a little over an hr away. We fit perfectly fine with a 42ft 5th wheel and they got us in last minute, which was great. Unfortunately the lake close by was not in good condition so there was not much to do there either.

We wanted to camp at Valley of Fire but couldn't get a spot so we decided to check out Echo Bay since we've never been there. We drove through the other campgrounds and those are cheaper but didn't have hookups.

We drove through the other campgrounds and those are cheaper but didn't have hookups. We decided the view wasn't particularly exciting we'd rather watch a movie so we chose the RV park in order to get electricity for our movie night. The park wasn't anything special except that it had recycling, which I've noticed a lot of RV parks do not have. That was a change of pace for us since we are often bringing all our recyclables back home with us when we camp. The negative about this place is that the electricity, fresh water, and sewer are all on one post! It's kind of gross to think about how nasty that fresh water might get. And it's a little worrisome to put the water so near the electricity. But other than that everything was fine. We had a pleasant night.

This is an older little park in need of some TLC, but still has its charms. It was quiet, close to Valley of Fire, the historic town of St. Thomas, Echo Bay boat ramp, lots of hikes and off-roading. Other campers & the camp host were veryfriendly & welcoming. Most of the sites had some shade.

It was quiet, close to Valley of Fire, the historic town of St. Thomas, Echo Bay boat ramp, lots of hikes and off-roading. Other campers & the camp host were veryfriendly & welcoming. Most of the sites had some shade. Wifi was not working during our stay (they were waiting on a part for repairs). We have an unlimited plan and a cell signal booster that increased our service to 3-4 bars. The women's side of the bathroom/shower facility definitely needs repair/remodeling, but it was clean. Unfortunately, my shower was only luke warm for the 1st ten minutes until the hot water finally kicked in. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

As you drive in you will see the upper campground with a free dump station with potable water. Next you'll see the rv park with full hookups on your left. Finally and just before you get to the office and gas pumps you'll see the lower campground to your right.

The road is a beautiful paved road all way from Overton to Echo Bay.Plan to load up on provisions, because the store doesn't have much and as you might expect.. everything is expensive (i.e. 87 octane fuel was $3/gal). Also, there is no propane refill for your rig.At this time of year most of the park is empty. Rates are very reasonable and the staff are very friendly and relaxed (28/nt, 170/wk, 480/mo). They don't escort, but I didn't have any trouble backing in my rig because the road and sites are quite wide.Caution: watch your small dogs... the coyotes are not afraid to wander close and I heard sad stories for the other residence. For me, I thought Millie was excited about the largest jack rabbit I had ever seen a few moments ago, but it ended up being a coyote watching us from behind a bush about 75 - 100 feet away. Thank goodness I had her on a leash; which doesn't happen too often in these underpopulated areas.Cellular service is good, but spotty. I was able to surf and watch tv on my MIFI fine. No over the air tv signal. Radio come in/out of signal as you drive around. They have free wifi, but I didn't use it.
