Campgound Associations
I know that a lot of campers have their favorite campground that they go to, but I also know that there are a lot of campers that like to visit as many campgrounds as possible. If you are the type that likes to travel as much as possible, then you need to look into joining a campground association like All Campgrounds For Less.
All Campgrounds For Less offers a 25% discount off of your fees at certain campground locations. They have locations in 32 states across the US.
On a site note, our camping gear website gets a lot of emails asking us about our camping equipment that we review and how it can effect them. When you pick a campground you need to know what camping equipment to pack with you. You aren't going to pack your Kelty camping tent if you are going to a cabin campground, where you are going to pack your Camp Chef grill if you are going to a beach campground since they usually don't have all the imenities. So what we can recommend is that you pack the appropriate camping gear for the campground that you have choosen.
Sorry that the campground blog hasn't been updated that much over the last few days. I have been out of town on training for my main job. I'm up in Costa Mesa, CA and I can't believe how many camping gear stores and police gear stores that are in Costa Mesa. As a police officer, I enjoy looking at new police equipment at the stores. Even more, I enjoy looking at all the new camping equipment. It relaxes me so much and takes my mind off of my work.

Lake Mead Campgrounds
Lake Mead National Park has some of the most beautiful campgrounds to offer if you are looking to stay on a lake. Lake Mead National Park is open year round and offers boating, swimming, fishing, and hiking. The park is so huge that it spans from Nevada to Arizona and has several major lakes connected by the Colorado River. At most of the major docks, you will find a camping gear store to assist you if you forgot any of your camping equipment. While there are many campgrounds on Lake Mead, here are my two favorite.
Katherine Landing Campground
Located just north of Laughlin, Nevada
702-293-8907
Katherine Landing is on Lake Mohave. The campground is at a low elevation making the summer months hot and the winter months enjoyable. The campground features spots for your Kelty camping tents, restrooms, running water, dump stations, and much more. Another feature is that Laughlin is about 15 minutes away if you break away from the campsite and have some fun at nighttime. Cost to stay here is about $5-$10 a night.
Overton Beach Marina
Located on the north tip of Lake Mead
702-293-8907
Overton Beach is on the north tip of Lake Mead where the Virgin River enters Lake Mead. The campground features tent camping, restrooms, boat launch, and fish cleaning station. Make sure you bring your Camp Chef grill to cook dinner on. The marina has been closed and moved to another location due to the low level of water. Before heading out there, give them a call to make sure the campground has not moved also.
