Natural Features Boulder Beach Campground is like an oasis, because of the lush vegetation that shades nearly every
campsite. There is a mix of palm trees, oleanders, mature cottonwood trees and native vegetation
that also helps provide privacy between sites. Most campsites offer views of Lake Mead, Fortification
Hill and the River Mountains. Wildlife in the area includes many species of birds and lizards along
with antelope squirrels and the coyotes.
