Gregg's Hideout — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

Boaters and anglers head to this dispersed camping area for direct access to Lake Mead's waters, though the water level sits well below normal. The dusty road down reaches the shoreline despite low lake levels, and two compost toilets serve the area. Campers should prepare for challenging exit conditions, as deep gravel and sand sections make the climb out difficult without four-wheel drive, particularly when towing. The canyon location offers no shade and temperatures can reach 109°F, though the water temperature provides relief for swimming.
