Lake Mead & Boulder City – $10 RV Camping, Hoover Dam & Hidden History

Описание: In this video, we explore the beautiful Lake Mead National Recreation Area, stop over in Boulder City, Nevada, and visit the iconic Hoover Dam! What started as a detour due to high winds turned into one of our favorite budget-friendly RV stops—just $10 a night with our senior discount at Boulder Beach Campground.

🌴 Our dry camping spot came with a palm tree, desert views, and a peek at Lake Mead—plus great proximity to one of America’s most incredible engineering feats.

🏛️ We share the little-known history of Boulder City, a government-planned town created during the Great Depression to house Hoover Dam workers. With vintage charm, public art, and unique rules (no gambling!), it’s a town unlike any other.

🛑 At Hoover Dam, we walk across the top, share security checkpoint tips, and admire the massive scale of this National Historic Landmark.
