We stayed at Lake Mead Recreational Area in early November 2021. We used it as a first come/ first serve campground. There is water at each site but no power. The campground is very nice and well maintained. We could see the lake from our campsite. This is a really neat area that covers a lot of miles. You will want to bike or drive around. We drove to the historic railroad trailhead and rode our bikes down a lot of the trail to the Hoover dam. We didn't go all the way, the last 2 miles got steep and had a lot of gravel. It was nice to bike through the tunnels. I liked staying here and would enjoy coming back and using it as a base to check out Las Vegas and Red Rock Canyon.
