Hoover Dam RV Parking

During my life, I've been to Hoover Dam twice. The first time was in 1973 during spring break. On that visit, there weren't too many people there and we went down inside to see the generators and other features of the power generating plant. 

The second time was in November 2018. We didn't do any inside touring as there were a lot of people there. Unlike in 1973, Hoover Dam now has a visitor center.

Each time, we drove there from Las Vegas in passenger cars. However, should I want to visit in my motorhome, at least I now know that there are parking areas available for RVs, according to a new article in RV Life.

Is the Hoover Dam on your bucket list for your next RV road trip? Here’s how to find Hoover Dam RV parking so you can take in all the sights of this amazing engineering feat!

What is the Hoover Dam?

The Hoover Dam is one of the most marvelous engineering feats made by mankind, especially when you consider that it was constructed in the early 1930s. In fact, it’s considered one of the seven wonders of the engineering world, along with the International Space Station and Burj Khalifa, so you know it must be impressive!

The impressive engineering is only one of the allures of the Hoover Dam. Lake Mead, our country’s largest reservoir, is a picturesque beauty of blue water surrounded by steep cliffs and canyons. Although man-made, it’s spread over 248 square miles, making it so big you can even take a boat tour on it!

Visitors can not only view the dam in all its glory from the outside, but can tour inside as well to view the hydroelectric generators and passageways. Its proximity to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas make the Hoover Dam a unique and logical addition to many different trips. So it’s no surprise that RVers love to swing by and check it out for themselves!
