Enjoy the Temple Bar area by land or water. Hike through the desert along the Temple View Trail to observe the crystal blue waters of Lake Mead and the natural temple that changes colors throughout the day. Launch your own boat or rent one from the marina. You can also dine at the seasonal cafe, or grab a variety of snacks, drinks and charcoal from the store.

Getting there

The Temple Bar turnoff from US Hwy 93 is 50 miles north of Kingman and 18 miles south of the Nevada/ Arizona border. The campground is about 26 miles from the turnoff for Temple Bar.
