Our campsite

Temple Bar, Lake Mead NRA, AZ

Off season, it's great 175 no host campground with flush toilets, showers and we were the only campers there for four days, Nov 8-12, 2008.



Sometimes in the spring & summer the campground gets a volunteer host(no pay). It is the NPS best kept secret. It's only 45 miles east of Hoover Dam.

People pass it up because they either want to get to Las Vegas or to leave Las Vegas. The most I have ever seen camping here is a total of ten campsites. The peace & quiet are it's pluses.

Temple Bar also has a restaurant, lounge, motel and small resort that does get busy in the early summer when temperatures are around 100 degrees.

But as soon as it hits 110 degrees most stay away, including us. Then we head for cooler temps too.
