Summary

AI generated

Echo Bay Campground offers a beautiful and tranquil setting with great views and a variety of camping sites. Many campers appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities, including well-maintained bathrooms, and the presence of wildlife like burros and roadrunners added to the charm. However, some visitors noted issues such as limited shade, noise from traffic and wind, and a lack of camp hosts for assistance. Overall, the campground is seen as a hidden gem for those looking to explore nearby attractions like the Valley of Fire, despite some management and maintenance concerns.

I had an overall wonderful experience, especially with the presence of the fire ring and grill. The campground was clean and well maintained, and well laid out. The negatives are as follows: no garbage can in the restroom; and no light at night in there. I like the presence of a convience store right next to the campground.

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.
