What Guests Are Saying

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.

Windy and noisy, primarily from the overhead traffic. This was my first time, I had chosen #30 because of the nearby spigot, the winds came through the canyon, which is different in that the campground sits adjacent to the wash and I simply didn't realize. Otherwise, people drove by often, and it's beautiful there, much like Las Vegas bay campground. I met Dennis, a volunteer, while the only other camper was on the end where tent camping usually prevails.

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.
