About
Temple Bar Campground occupies a scenic position on the eastern Arizona shore of Lake Mead, about 26 miles down Temple Bar Road from US Highway 93. The 71 paved campsites accommodate both tents and RVs, each equipped with a table and fire pit or grill. Flush restrooms and potable water spigots are distributed throughout the campground, and a dump station is located near the entrance. The area features a mix of palm trees, oleanders, mature cottonwoods, and native desert vegetation providing shade and privacy between sites. Wildlife includes various bird species, lizards, antelope squirrels, and occasional coyotes. The remote location makes Temple Bar exceptional for stargazing, with minimal light pollution. Recreation centers on both land and water. The Temple View Trail offers desert hiking with views of Lake Mead and the natural rock temple formation that changes colors throughout the day. The marina provides boat rentals and launching facilities, allowing access to secluded beaches and coves for fishing and swimming. A seasonal cafe and store stock snacks, drinks, and charcoal.
