We came here because the Park Service closed Overton Beach. Echo Bay is a little more isolated than Overton Beach, but there is a little grocery store and gas station if you don't want to go all the way in to Overton or Las Vegas. During the winter months, the campground is close to full, with long-timers wintering there from Nevada, Utah, and Idaho. If you're there Thanksgiving or Christmas, make sure you join in on the potluck. The restrooms were very clean; the grounds of the campground are well-maintained. We had excellent satellite TV reception, and there IS a WiFi hotspot over at the hotel office. (I don't know if there's a fee or not; I didn't use it.) The lake is extremely low, but you can still launch boats at the marina. We caught dozens of strippers really close the marina; didn't even have to go out on the lake much at all. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Seven Crown Resorts operates the rv park at Echo Bay Resort on Lake Mead. It is used primarily by "employees" and most of the sites look like the residents are permanent. It is not well maintained and there is a lot of "stuff" stored around the sites. Check in is at the hotel which is not in a big rig friendly area. The campgrounds (no hookups) which are run by the NPS look nice. Lake Mead cannot even be seen from the rv park. It is convenient for visiting the Valley of Fire State Park. We only stayed one night and would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice and clean. Well laid out with big paved streets. More of a long stay park. Good laundry facilities. No real pet area. Lots of dirt, but this is a desert! Showers are definitely communal. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you want peace and quiet, come here in the winter - no seadoos on the lake, and the atv'ers are out boondocking. The only noise at night was the coyotes. This is a small park, but well kept, close to the marina, where there's a store to get food and rv supplies. Boat rentals are available, and you're only a couple of miles from Valley of Fire State Park, where you can spend several days seeing the sights and hiking. While there's no internet access or cable tv, there is cell phone reception, and you can pick up some Las Vegas tv channels via your antenna. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This park is an excellent state park. There are two campgrounds: One campground is called Atatl and has two sections – one section has electric and water, the other section is dry. (There are faucets for water at the site but they are not usable for filling your tank.) There are showers in the Atatl campground. The showers located in the hookup section are pay showers while the showers in the dry camping area are free. The other campground down the road, called Arch Campground, is dry camping and has a few sites for large RVs although most of the sites are better suited for tent camping. We did not see any showers at the Arch Campground. Before entering either campground, there is water and dump available. We stayed at the non-electric Atatl campground. The sites are surrounded by red rock and quite scenic. The campground is a good base for exploring Valley of Fire. The drawbacks of the park as I see it are that you should expect your RV will get full of fine red sand. If there is a windstorm, as there was when we were there, then this hampers sitting outside and enjoying the scenery. None of the sites are reservable so you might consider calling ahead to check availability. We camped here in a 30’ fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I gave the 10 more for the surroundings than for the park itself. As mentioned, the campground offers more spots tucked in with the red rock and some that are a little more private, but none of those sites have hookups. In Arch rock, they just opened a new section in December which has power and water for an extra charge of $10 per night. Several hikes in the area to explore. The kids play for hours at a time in the red sand and rocks. (your RV is going to get sandy, especially if you have kids) The additional sites will be a help as in the busy season this place fills quickly. That is the one downfall of the park in my opinion. You can't make reservations, and it is over an hour drive each way from Vegas. I have seen many folks make the trip out there only to find that all sites are full. I don't understand why they don't simply get on board with many other state and government campgrounds and take reservations. I don't see how it could cost them anything. All in all you need to spend some time out there, it truly is like another planet. On our last trip, we were lucky enough to sit and watch a big horned sheep forage around for about 25 minutes. It was only about 200 ft from our RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the best state parks we have ever camped at! There are two campgrounds. Arch Rock, where we stayed, has several spacious sites with water and electric hook-ups that will accommodate the largest RV. Atlatl Rock campground has smaller, but more picturesque sites. A lot of thought has gone into the design of the campgrounds and the layout of their sites. Many are very private. Just about any campsite will give you wonderful views of the dramatic red rock formations and some allow you to nestle right in among them. All of the buildings and picnic structures have been built in such a way as to be as unobtrusive as possible and blend in with the scenery. There is a good Visitor's Center and many scenic drives, walks and hikes to keep you busy. Although this park is only about an hour form Las Vegas it is a world away. We camped here in a Motorhome.
