About Temple Bar Campground
Temple Bar Campground offers an unexpected oasis of lakeside serenity amidst the rugged Arizona desert landscape. This year-round campground provides direct access to the vast waters of Lake Mead, with paved sites accommodating both RVs and tents. Campers enjoy basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and nearby restrooms, while the real draw is the unparalleled opportunity for boating, fishing, and water recreation right at their doorstep.
Situated along the eastern shore of Lake Mead, Temple Bar Campground is a remote outpost that rewards those willing to venture off the beaten path. The campground's isolation contributes to its appeal, offering visitors a chance to experience the raw beauty of the Mojave Desert and the shimmering expanse of America's largest reservoir. Despite its secluded feel, the campground is well-maintained and provides a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
Temple Bar Marina, adjacent to the campground, serves as a hub for outdoor enthusiasts, offering boat rentals, a launch ramp, and a small store for essential supplies. The area is renowned for its excellent fishing, particularly for striped bass, while hikers can explore nearby desert trails that showcase the unique flora and fauna of the region. For those seeking a true escape into nature, Temple Bar Campground delivers an authentic desert camping experience with the added bonus of lakeside recreation.
