Overview

When you are in Las Vegas or traveling through the area, maybe it's time to decompress, hit the trail and camp on a beach. Kingman Wash is a short & easy drive from the strip, right off the interstate, leading to a wonderful cove with plenty of room for camping with friends. The colorful rock cliffs that surround the cove descend to over 100 feet below the waterline, making this spot popular with scuba divers. The lake is renowned for its clear waters and ideal year-round water temperatures. If fishing or kayaking is your thing, then this area is a great spot for free camping and small boat launching.
