Temple Bar

Temple Bar Marina offers a full-service boat ramp and access point to Lake Mead's Temple Basin on the Arizona side of the reservoir. Located off AZ Highway 93 (about 5 hours from Phoenix and 1.5 hours from Las Vegas), this remote facility provides dedicated canoe/kayak launch areas, boat ramps, and dock access to the Colorado River as it transitions into Lake Mead. The marina includes parking for both vehicles and boat trailers, fuel services, restrooms, and a camp store with supplies.

The site is well-equipped for paddlers and recreational boaters seeking to explore Lake Mead's coves and beaches away from the more crowded Boulder Basin area. Amenities include RV camping (152 campsites with full hook-ups), lodging, a café, and boat rentals. This makes Temple Bar an excellent basecamp for multi-day paddling trips. Water levels at Lake Mead have been variable in recent years due to drought conditions, so paddlers should check current conditions before planning their trip. For detailed information about services, hours, and fees, visit templebarlakemead.com or contact the facility directly.

Just 75 miles away from Las Vegas, Temple Bar Marina is located in the Temple Basin on the Arizona side of eastern Lake Mead. It’s the closest marina for Arizonans who want to get away from the more populated Boulder Basin area of Lake Mead.

The RV Park at Temple Bar Marina is a perfect location for enjoying the lake and all its recreational activities.
