Boondocking at Pearce Ferry near Meadview, AZ

 It's been a pretty relaxing few days here at the Pearce Ferry dispersed camping area   it used to be a primitive campground back in the day but the water levels of Lake Mead have receeded over the decades, leaving it high and dry.

I pretty much had the place to myself except for another camper or two that didn't stay long and stayed away from my site so all good.

Here's some pictures around the nearby boat ramp used to take boats out of the river after they have traverse what I assume is the Grand Canyon or something near it.


Can you spot Uma?

A short drive to South Cove area of the Lake Mead Recreation Area to check out water levels.  Not much there except fisherman and day use facilities.


Some Golden Hour views around my campsite.


Views from the block house window opening:



Sunset lighting is quite important for this area, the mountains are quite plain in the daylight hours with the flat sunlight.

The solitude looks wonderful. Is Lake Mead still really low?

At only 30% of capacity, the water level is really low. Enjoy the solitude!

Does the low water levels cause problems? I have never seen it that low on my visits. Cheers, SonjaM
