Callville Bay Campground

Callville Bay Campground is located just minutes from Las Vegas along the northern edge of the Boulder Basin of Lake Mead. It's open year-round and features paved sites that can accommodate tents or RVs, along with tables, fire pits and/or grills. Temperatures usually surpass 100F (37C) degrees June-August. In May and September, daytime highs are around 90F (32C). October-April, temperatures are much cooler, and lows can dip to freezing December-February. The area averages 4 inches of rain each year. A nearby shaded picnic area has cool grass, grills, restrooms and panels explaining the history of the area. Across the street, you'll find the trailhead to the Callville Summit Trail. This 2.7-mile moderate hike requires a short climb, but yields a spectacular view of Lake Mead, Fortification Hill, the Hemenway Valley and the River Mountains. The Callville Bay Resort is within walking distance and has a dine-in restaurant and lounge, a café and store with many amenities. Down at the marina, you can rent boats by the hour or launch your own at the launch ramp. Although fishing and swimming are not allowed in the harbor where the marina is located, you can hike throughout the backcountry to find your own secluded cove. Each campsite provides space for up to eight people with one camping unit, and a maximum of two motorized vehicles, four motorcycles or a combination thereof. Paved roads lead to each site, and the sites are asphalt. There are multiple water spigots and restrooms spread out throughout the campground; the restrooms have sinks and toilets, and there are no showers. Accessible sites are available, and an RV dump station and water refill station are located near the entrance. Lush vegetation shades nearly every campsite — a mix of palm trees, oleanders, mature cottonwood trees and native vegetation that also helps provide privacy between sites. A few campsites offer views of Lake Mead. Wildlife in the area includes many species of birds and lizards along with antelope squirrels and the occasional coyote. Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Las Vegas are just minutes away, where the attractions range from museums to mega resorts and casinos.
