Callville Bay Resort & Marina
Overview
Overview
Callville Bay Resort & Marina in Overton, Nevada offers a distinct desert-and-water environment situated directly along the shoreline of Lake Mead. This destination places travelers right at the edge of the water within the vast Mojave Desert landscape. Visitors arrive here seeking direct access to aquatic recreation, towering red rock canyons, and wide-open federal recreation areas managed by the National Park Service.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the terrain features rugged desert hills, sweeping water views, and arid conditions with intense summer heat. Travelers typically approach via Nevada State Route 169, navigating winding desert roads that descend toward the lake basin. The surrounding environment consists of sparse creosote bushes, dramatic limestone formations, and the massive reservoir basin created by Hoover Dam downstream on the Colorado River.
Amenities & Park Features
Given the specific lakeside setting and marina designation, visitors should expect water-oriented operations rather than standard urban RV park layouts. Because exact layouts, site dimensions, and utility configurations vary widely across public recreation lease properties, RVers must contact the park directly. Be sure to confirm hookup availability, generator regulations, slide-out clearances, and specific site access guidelines before arriving with larger rigs or trailers.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is the water, offering endless opportunities for boating, fishing, kayaking, and swimming across the expansive lake surface. Beyond the shoreline, travelers can explore the striking geological formations of the nearby Valley of Fire State Park or drive south toward the engineering marvel of Hoover Dam and the outskirts of Henderson and Las Vegas for urban supplies and services.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits boaters, anglers, and water-sport enthusiasts who want to camp within walking distance of boat ramps and slip rentals. It appeals to self-contained RVers comfortable with desert climates, windy basin conditions, and remote landscapes. Those prioritizing scenic isolation over manicured resort lawns will find the stark desert beauty and immediate lake access an ideal basecamp for outdoor exploration.

The tri toon patio boat was awesome, the extra effort, they took with my elderly father to get him over to the boat rental office by water taxi and golf cart was great. The lake was so cool and the experience was well worth the money. The boat was clean, ran great and had a full shade front to back - couldn't have asked for more for a fun day- The young staff were pleasant and eager to help us and make sure they shared the same excitement and energy that we were putting out-I can't say the same for the individual who took the money and I made the reservation with- she was rude, short , angry and Should not be the first person you deal with when you walk in the door- other than her, it was a perfect and fun day on lake mead!!

The water level is low. But you can launch from here. Snack store seems to close at 4 pm, so make sure you bring supplies. You can rent boats of various sizes here up to those huge house boats. They have one with an elevator on it so you can get to roof levels. As well as a home unit a/c bar tv bed bath etc... It's a home on water. The thing is huge. They have about 6 different sizes of those boats alone. All the way down to just a pontoon party boat with seats. No bathroom. The drive out to the bay is pleasant. I just went out there just to get out of the house for a bit. From my house off Lake Mead and boulder hwy in henderson it is about 40 min away. You will have to pay to go onto lake mead national park. I have a year pass over 60 years old, cost $20 for a year at ANY NATIONAL PARK IN THE USA. It's a great deal. It even worked when I went to the grand cyn.in AZ

We rented a ski boat at Calville Bay - we had a great time! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us a quick primer on the boat itself and gave us instructions on what to do before, during and after. The price was great - even the drive to Calville Bay was wonderful. We will go again!

After having a deck boat reserved for Memorial Day over a month in advance, they called us the week prior and told us that the reservation was no longer available and has been cancelled. They made no attempt to fix the issue or offer any concessions. Barely even apologetic. We have rented a boat here every year for the last 3 years and will never return.
