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.

Campground is very nice with restrooms (bring own toilet paper just in case) Nature surrounds you …donkey, fox, coyote and owls in November (snake and scorpion signs, but too cold this time of year for them)

#17 has a potable water faucet nearby and at the end for great privacy. There are donkeys that sound off in the middle of the night, so you’re aware. I enjoyed my research retreat. I’ll be coming back. Thankfully, I’m not far.

Access to the bay was great from boat launch and the campground was quiet. Close to general store as well and that was nice. The ladies restroom had rusted out toilets that were quite unattractive….. usable, but.

I really dug this place! The campground is super rustic, to be sure, but the ranger came by every morning when I was there (at least, on the weekend mornings) and restocked restrooms.
What is awesome about this place is that it is super rustic, easy desert camping, but if you are an open water swimmer (which I am) it is remarkable swimming -- apart from a few fishers, I have the lake to myself.
And to think it's only 1 hour out of Vegas! I'm definitely coming back.

I will never ever camp at echo Bay again I was scared I heard donkeys in the middle of the night hyenas laughing and coyotes everywhere around me it was the most horrible frightening experience I've had camping ever in my life I will never ever go back to echo Bay and I would love it if you would maybe give me a free stay at a different campsite because I had the worst scariest time at echo Bay. I would not recommend going there at all at least not going by yourself and I wouldnt recommend going there " at all "even if you're with somebody. those noises I heard woke me up in the middle of the night. Sounds of loud donkeys, hyenas and coyotes ....scary . Very creepy...

It was a good campground for late season camping. Be prepped for the wild donkeys. They may or may not keep you up at night. We had 28’ 5th wheel for some of the sites that would have been tight. It fit well in the site we were in. The echo bay maintenance guy was really helpful. We would camp here again.

Just a quick stop over, the restroom was clean, flushing toilets, running water
( bring your own TP) the sites were nice, picnic table and fire pit, sites were close together but lots of bushes to separate the sites. A convenient store within walking distance was a nice surprise.

Nice quiet campground. The lake is a bit farther away than the last time we were here. Liked hearing the wild donkeys calling during the night.

This site doesn’t have any shade, whereas the sites next to it have lots of shade. Great view of the lake, just wish there was more shade!
