We went out to the Boulder Beach Campground at Lake Mead for our first camping trip of the season. The weather was to be in the upper 80′s during the day and the low 60′s at night. That’s perfect camping weather to me, and it proved to be just that.
We arrived around 3PM to the campground and secured one of that last spots available. The place was packed and the sites are real close to each other so they don’t offer much in the form of privacy, but we had a good time. We grilled pollo asada on the hibachi that we picked up at the Carniceria on the way out of town, and ate that with corn tortillas, salsa, and guacamole. It was delicious!
On Sunday morning Steve, Lola and Devin joined us for a little fun at Boulder Beach. It’s not the best beach by any means along Lake Mead, but it’s a very quick drive from Las Vegas if you want to hit the water on a quick day trip.
So for a 20 minute drive from our house, and $15.00 for two days of fun in the sun, it turned out to be a pretty good weekend. Our next trip is the Valley of Fire in a couple weeks. That is one of my most favorite places to camp in Southern Nevada.
that does sound like a vacation, what a deal. I should try that with my kids
I am about 30 minutes from. I think

Oh Lake Mead is so much fun and a great excursion from Las Vegas after you’ve gotten your fill of gambling. Love the bike trails. How’s the water level this year? Since the water level depends on snow runoff its been pretty low the last few years.
