How do I make a camp site reservation at echo. Lower area
Hi Julie,
You need to call 702-293-8990 to make reservations. Online reservations are not available for this campground.
Stayed two nights in Upper campground open despite being told it was closed. Very well maintained by hard working and friendly volunteer ranger. Can be quite windy.
Is Echo Bay camping still open? Also, dump station, water, and laundry?
Hi David,
Echo Bay Campground is open. However the boat ramp is closed due to the low water level. I assume water, dump station and laundry area all available/operating, but you may call to confirm: 702 293-8990
