What Guests Are Saying

Echo Bay Campground offers a lovely, quiet environment with beautiful desert views and entertaining wildlife like burros and roadrunners. The campground is clean and well-maintained, with spacious sites for a relaxing stay, although some sites are small and close together. While there are challenges such as limited shade, occasional maintenance issues, and the absence of a camp host, many visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and convenient location near attractions like Valley of Fire State Park.

It is very hot in summer I was there during late April and it was very hot in the campsite as a lot of them do not have adequate shade which is expected in the desert. I feel for 20 dollars for campsite + 25 dollars for entry is expensive for a desert camping. I do think the area near the water is very nice relaxing and beautiful. I’d suggest to bring a good umbrella or canopy for shade.

When I turned off the main road to head to the campground, I was dismayed that the drive was still another hour. But as I continued on, I became enthralled and enchanted and amazed by the scenery. The description of the campground failed to mention this, as far as I recall.

The campground itself was fine. My site was a little tight, but most seemed spacious. It was quiet and calm. A good night. It is worth the drive, even if you're staying only for one night.

The campsite was very clean and looked just like the pictures. Phone service is not that great the further away from the Ranger station you are. Bathrooms are clean and fully stocked. Wood is available for purchase at nearby store and the lady in the store is very helpful and kind. Great views and great time. Definitely recommend and would definitely return.

Pretty sad campground. No host to buy wood. Generators constantly on and view of the lake is not as great as you’d think. Not lights in the bathroom. Couldn’t find water. Just overall sad, derelict campground.

Never saw a camp host or anyone to provide help or serivice in three nights. Tp started running out. Water is so, so far away. It feels little like you are staying in a deserted beach from years ago, when the lake actually existed. Rocks and gravel and dead trees and some oleander bushes. Little to no shade - bring awnings.
