Trail Information

Highlights

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.

Found this trail by accident, visiting the Hoover Dam area. Was a fun find, great dispersed camping on the back side of Lake Mead. Trail was easy, washed out a bit, as their monsoon season just ended.

Arizona National Forests and State Lands are back open for travel. There are still some very important fire restrictions in place. These restrictions can often change by specific areas.

This was an easy way to get access to the lake and free camping. There were a bunch of sites in the wash leading down to the waterline and some other spots off in more secluded spots. There was a pretty big crowd out there scuba diving but nobody was really camping. We didn't bother airing down since we weren't staying long and still had highway miles to drive.
