Summary

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.
Aside from the mistake we made of trying to camp there in August the camp ground was an experience. It was very remote and peaceful, we were the only ones there and the only ones for miles. We saw no other campers or even anyone at the ranger station. The lights in the bathroom didn’t work but there were water spigots near the camp sites which was nice. Overall if you want to be alone this was a great spot. That being said the lake itself was incredibly low, you could tell where the water level was many years ago but now is probably 3/4 of a mile down the road. I’d recommend going a time other than the middle of summer and don’t expect the standard amenities but overall my wife and I would absolutely go back
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.
Had the place all too our selves, the is running water and a bathroom, only thing to note is that their are wild burros that come near the campground that make loud screeching sounds a few times.
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.
Echo Bay Campground is accessible via State Route 167, approximately 24 miles from Interstate 11. Nearby Boulder City provides access to U.S. Route 93.
