Las Vegas Bay Campground
We left Quartzsite this morning, getting on the road about 9:30 AM after stopping at McDonald's to pick up breakfast on the way out of town.
We drove north on SR-95 through Parker and Lake Havasu City, stopping at the Chevron station at the junction of SR-95 and I-40 to fill up with diesel ($3.999/gallon). We arrived at Las Vegas Bay Campground along the northwestern shores of Lake Mead in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area around 2:00 PM (that is, it *would* be along the shores of the lake if the lake was still up this far; however, because of a several-years drought in the Southwest, the lake is very low). With Earl's Golden Age Passport, it costs up $5 per day to stay here. There are no hookups, but there is fresh water and a dump.
Miles driven: 226.4
GPS coordinates: N 36° 07.6702' / W 114° 52.3487'
