Nothus

What, no pictures of what the wind did to our campsite!?!?

Julie

No I was too busy scrambling around trying to save our shit from blowing in the lake to take a picture of the chaos.

Breezie

that loooks so peaceful, to bad a wind storm had to ruin it for you.

Julie

Breezie - there will be another time, the lake isn’t going anywhere

Travelling the UK - caravans » Lake Mead Kingman Wash Camping Trip

[...] A fellow blogger wrote a fantastic post today on “Lake Mead Kingman Wash Camping Trip”Here’s ONLY a quick extract [...]

Karen

The sky is sooo blue! It looks like a fun place to camp. What kind of bugs do you have to watch out for out there?

Julie

Karen- there are just flies mostly, and I did see a couple wasps.

Christina thecoffeelady

The photos are great! I cant get that crispness out of my camera! Hope you enjoyed it despite the wind.

Julie

Christina thecoffeelady - my camera is a Sony and it was under $200. BEST camera I have ever owned! We did have a great time before the sand storm came in.

mistipurple

It must be really cold in the morning. Or night. I remembered shivering in my last camp out.

cady

looks like fun! i love camping. too bad the windstorm ran you off. hopefully next time you can enjoy the whole weekend.

gina

I live in Arizona, and I’ve been to Lake Mead several times. Thanks for reminding me of this great place.

Mark

What a remote and desolate lookig place it could almost be the moon! Love the peacefulness of the lake photo.

Hellan

wow it looks beautiful. Great pictures, i wish we had free camping places as beuatiful here.

Diane Scott

Live here in Vegas just minutes from the Lake. It’s shocking…. Overton Beach gone! The lake is drying up at an alarming right! My suggestion, come see it before you can’t!

vein

The lake looks beautiful!

Ferox

I can see why you would have to bring your own firewood. It looks like a desolate place to me- I prefer to be near trees and greenery.

Julie

mistipurple - not at this time of the year! It’s still in the high desert and it’s about 115 degrees during the day out there.

Julie

cady - do you go camping often? It’s my favorite thing to do!

Julie

gina - It’s a fun getaway and not far from our place at all. I think it took us about 45 minutes from my front door to the spot we set up our tent at.

Scott

The sky and lake look quite tranquil and a plus that it is free to camp.

Julie

Mark - I ALWAYS think of it as the surface of the moon when we are out there. LOL! During the week we are the only ones there, so it makes it nice for night time “couple” swimming

Julie

Hellan - it is the only place that I know of on the lake that you can drive up and camp for free. There are plenty of “groomed” areas to camp that charge. Then of course if you have a boat you can camp for free anywhere.

Julie

Diane Scott - It’s gone, really? Isn’t that where all the houseboat rentals are located? WOW, I had no idea. That is REALLY sad

Julie

vein - thanks, we love it!

Julie

Ferox - I prefer the mountains also, and we do have those here in the high desert, but being unemployed right now we have to hit up the “free” areas for camping.

Diane Scott

Hi ya! Got your email, but the return to doesn’t work so I came back here. Yes, the upper portion of Lake Mead that used to reach into Overton and beyond is totally gone. If it weren’t for sludge you could walk right into Arizona. Down further you now travel a 1/2 mile or so to get to the areas (upper) where they dock houseboats. It’s shrinking at an alarming rate! I’d send you pictures, but again your reply to email didn’t work.

Owen

Wow .. that looks just amazing! .. Can I come next time?

Lisa

That looks like a lot of fun! Too bad you didn’t get the sandstorm pics.

daria369

This looks really beautiful!

Heather in Beautiful BC

AHA - skinny dipping were you???

Looks like a peaceful, pretty place. Whenever we visit LV we nearly always drive out to the dam or the Valley of Fire - and last time to the Skywalk.

It’s lovely out there, but I always am on the lookout for snakes, or scorpions or whatever, and don’t go too far from the car!

Now I know how to get to the lake, we’ll drive down there next time but I hate camping - it ALWAYS rains on my side of the tent and my sleeping bag gets wet

Stomphoof

Dude I love me some camping. I wish I could go camping but I never farking have the time now.

bh24

I love the pictures of the lake.

Julie

Diane Scott - thanks for letting me know my comment responder wasn’t working. It’s all fixed now. That is so shocking about Overton Beach. That is where we rented our houseboat years ago.

Julie

Owen - yep next time you’re in the states, I will take you out there!

Julie

Lisa - My camera is already all gritty when the lens opens, and it was INSIDE my backpack, INSIDE the tent. I am STILL cleaning sand out of my ears! LOL!

Julie

daria369 - Thanks Daria!

Julie

Heather in Beautiful BC - moi? Nah never The Valley of Fire is awesome also, and we’ve camped there several times.

Julie

Stomphoof - make the time and get out there before it gets too cold

Julie

bh24 - thanks!

windyridge

I love camping and this place looks like a lot of fun!

Connie

Looks beautiful but not my cuppa tea. To me camping is when there’s no restaurant at the hotel

Janet Giacoma

I was recently in Las Vegas but didn’t have a chance to get to the lake (seminars). I do know it’s shrinking fast though

Australia Visa Services

One of those places that I wanted to be in and have fun.

that looks so peaceful, to bad a wind storm had to ruin it for you.

I can see why you would have to bring your own firewood. It looks like a desolate place to me- I prefer to be near trees and greenery.

maxis hotlink

not sure why, but i feel like that the place though it’s tranquil but kinda isolated…too quiet.

call me joe.

Cheers!
