Something not right?

Description

Mid sized somewhat level paved parking lot for boat launch/ marina. Also large unlaced section closer to the water. 7 day parking limit sign advertised just before the boat launch on the right. We stayed two nights up by the bathrooms (flush toilets) and fish cleaning station with no issues. Park ranger drove by at night when we were watching a movie on our projector outside, he didn’t care or say anything to us.
NOTE: National parks pass or entry fee into the lake mead recreation area required to get to this spot. So free if you have a pass, otherwise you’d be paying $30 to enter. Entry gates close at 5:00. Please respect this spot, keep it clean and don’t overstay your welcome!. Decent Views of lake mead and marina. Also NPS campground down the road for $20/night

Report Check-In

The police knocked on my door around 11pm saying I was not allowed to park there since it was "undeveloped," but told me I could park about 10 miles up at North Shores. I haven't heard of it and didn't see anything called that.

Report Check-In

We camped one night but the Rangers came to warn us that in the national parks they must camp at specific and indicated places

Report Check-In

Stayed up by the bathrooms and we were able to find a spot level enough for comfort.
No issues at all; a quiet nights’ sleep except for the emptying of the fish-cleaning station’s dumpster.
Ranger drove by us in the morning after checking another person’s fish and license.

Report Check-In

Stayed here three nights with no issues. Each morning a park ranger came by to clean the “fish cleaner” station (which some fishermen used overnight) with a pressure washer - it’s loud but obviously we are allowed to be here as no one has bothered us. No issues overnight except a few folks driving by. Not a perfectly level parking lot but the marina parking is WAY worse and unpaved. We would stay here again.
