@Pbirbeck , your in for a real treat. Lake Powell as my thread above states, was a big bucket list item for me. We stayed at the Wahweap campground and can't stress enough how this is the perfect place to stay. It might be ok to stay at the Page campground but you are removed from overlooking the lake and convenience of lakefront so to speak. I recommend getting at slip at the marina and having unfettered access to the boat while there. They have slips with power, but you will need to secure a pigtail that will adapt to their marina 30A plug, for your 15 or 20A needs.
CORRECTION...There was a picture here if a motorhome 30A to 20A adaptor, but it is incorrect for a marina. I posted the wrong picture and I can't seem to find the right one.
@Bruce or
@Betik may have a correct one as my adapter is with
@Betik now.
The marina will give you a lift via golf cart from parking to the boat and back each day if you are patient, or they have dock carts available at both parking lot and dock for your use as a guest. Powell is BIG. It has much to offer. You can't see it all in even a two week trip. Long trips are weather affected, so plan to be flexible and "know before you go". The lake and scenery are nothing short of spectacular. The only thing I could recommend from my biased perspective, is to break this trip into two separate trips, and do justice to Powell. There is so much to see and do around there, you just can't do it all in a two week period. We only spent 4 days on the lake, and we were busy everyday. Read my thread from start to finish, it has the pitfalls of RV travel and the successes. It will give you considerations for other stuff you may have not considered, such as National parks and features you and your family will love. Trust me, Tahoe can wait! But if your going to try to cover both, plan well and see if you can cover some of the wonders of northern Arizona and Southern Utah while your nearby. From our perspective, our trip was about seeing and exploring, not about watersports. However we enjoyed floating and swimming everyday at the lake. Another reason not to short the area, is that you may have a day that just isn't lake worthy, that is perfect for a trip to Zion, Bryce, or the north rim of the Grand Canyon. The campground is a great place to just hang as well, and the view from our campsite was perfect. We had two different people come by and ask when we were leaving so they could have our site! So campground "D", spot 42, is my recommendation.
For a video from this spot, see this...
If you go to the service yard (boat service), they will let you park your trailer in their staging lot and you won't have to keep it at the campground. As a matter of fact, it is so much easier to let them launch the boat too, they did a fabulous job and I didn't have to use the motorhome. They were punctual and careful and know both the lake, the ramp, and the campground. I think it was $25 to launch and $25 to recover.
I envie you a little, I loved this trip and the entire area. Have fun and post a thread, we all love them!
