Guide
Callville Bay RV Park is a five-space RV park in Trailer Village at Callville Bay Resort & Marina, on Lake Mead’s Boulder Basin. The operator advertises full-hookup spaces. It makes sense as an overnight base for RV travelers planning to use the lake and marina; it isn’t a sightseeing stop on its own. Call ahead before building a trip around it: the operator lists just five spaces and directs visitors to phone for rental details.
NPS lists five RV-only sites here, with electric hookups at all five. This is separate from the nearby NPS-managed Callville Bay Campground, which has no electric hookups. The RV site information doesn’t spell out whether restrooms or other shared resort facilities are included, so check access when you book instead of assuming.
The RV park sits within the wider resort and marina, where personal watercraft, ski boats and houseboats are available to rent. Stay here if you want a small, hooked-up place to park your RV while spending time on the water; confirm rates and what services come with the site directly with the operator.
