Going on a trip next month. We are planning to stay in henderson and then launch at mead friday morning. Any ideas on where the best places to launch are? Also we are planning to tent camp out on the lake. Any info on the best coves/beaches to tent camp at?

Whenever I go on Mead I always stay at the Sunset Station and launch at Calville.
Ditto on both. You can camp at Sandy Beach (one cove east of Calville) but it can get windy (I had my old v-drive "driven" almost completly onto the beach after a windy night).
There are some nice spots on the Overton arm but others will have to give you the coordinates.

Calville is the best ramp. The walk from the ramp to the truck sucks (since the lake level is so low) but worth the walk. Go out of the main cove and make a left (North) make a left at the second cove (Sandy Beach).
Plenty of sand and well protected from the elements. Wife and I would sleep on the old boat every other weekend back in the day. Plenty of areas to tent it there and not far from the launch ramp.
Good luck. Oh. By the way Havasu is much better. :)

IF you are going to tent camp on a nice beach, get away from the lower lake. GO thru the narrows and look around in the virgin basin ( even sounds fun). You will find some nice clean beaches out there. Do not get discouraged if you find one you like and sink to your knees in mud. Walk over 20 feet and it could be perfect.
Also check this out

Have fun.

Drive past Calville an extra 30 min. to Echo Bay. They have nice campgrounds there or launch and go across the lake and north. Bring a shovel and rake to make a clearing. Lots of weeds due to the heavy rains last year. Stay away from the lower basin.

If you want seclusion head to Temple Bar. About 10 miles past the dam is the turnoff. Then it's about 30 miles from there. If you got enough gas in the boat, you can take a bitchen ride back in to the east side of the lake. The scenery is really nice. Temple Bar isn't very crowded compared to the other marinas. Have fun. Take pics. I miss that place.

Been boating Mead for 30+ years and all the above advise is good. Water should be fairly smooth, but the nites will be bitter cold in a tent. Too many other options to say, it will just confuse you more. Have fun. (Don't forget your map)...

Why Lake Mead?? Lake Elsinore is just a short drive away. Beautiful women, nice calm water, lots of sunshine, and no wind. At least that's what the postcard says.

Where is Titties and Beer? He knows that lake like the back of his hand.....Didicudmore as well.....We RV'd it up at a place down a long winding dark road, (I think Echo Bay)we got a slip... the RV camping is away from the lake, but the hotel sits right on it. Be careful around Hallett Beach, last time there was a rock barely showing out of the water....Hopefully the lake has come up :D
Another time we stayed at the Hacienda and launched at Las Vegas Marina, got a slip no problem.....
Have Fun!!
