Echo Bay Upper Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Water activities draw campers to Echo Bay Upper Campground, though the single operational loop now accommodates far fewer visitors than in previous years. The National Park Service facility operates with limited sites suitable for RVs and travel trailers, offering electric and water hookups but no full sewer connections. A dump station serves the campground along with restrooms and dumpsters.

Cell service reaches the upper campground reliably, while the nearby marina provides a small store for basic supplies. Campers seeking different accommodations can check Echo Bay Lower Campground, which better suits smaller vehicles and tent camping.

Echo Village RV Park

It’s a quiet which is nice. There is a store and boat dock down at the end of the road, but the water is low. Weather is perfect.

Best of the two NPS CGs

The upper echo bay NPS campground is only one small loop now, the others are all closed down and mothballed. There are only a few sites large enough for RVs and TTs though. No full hookups. Cost is $20/$10 senior, cashless now, need to either reserve beforehand or pay online onsite. Dumpsters, and a restroom. Cell signal is good at the upper cg, not so good at the lower cg. The lower cg is more suited for car truck and van campers. The marina has a small mini mart. There is a free RV dump here and also water spigots and trash dumpsters.
