As someone new to the Northern side and to possibly help Barb in planning; Can you expand on beach/spots that aren't in BF Bay or Halls bay at this water level? Thanks!
No grocery stores, no propane, no dry ice, houseboats wildly bobbing around Bullfrog bay and sometimes no gas. I think you are correct Ryan. SqI think everyone should go to the south end. Nothing to see up north. Please move along.....

Sorry I missed your post. I did explain, if you read my entire reply, ( apparently some respondents didn't? ) that "if you are okay with the waves and wind in the open bay areas, they are fine".
I personally do not consider that to be good or necessarily a safe camping spot. In fact it is in Bullfrog bay that we experienced a night full of serious issues due to a storm. Nearly lost two wave runners, a ski boat and the houseboat anchors just barely held after pulling 10 feet or so through the sand. NOT fun and certainly not what I would recommend to anyone, least of all a group of newbies.
I think a lot of this disagreement may come from differing opinions regarding what is "good camping".
Just for the record, a nice sandy beach, ( I never have parked on rock ) in a protected canyon or cove, with anchorage that allows for a good nights sleep ( even in a storm ) is the best advice for this crew or any crew really. Again just my opinion.
I apologize again for any offense I may have caused. I only intended to try to be helpful and had no idea that it would be taken as putting down the north end. Nor did I understand just how sensitive the north enders seem to be. lesson learned.
I thoroughly loved the years spent at Bullfrog and have great memories from that time. ( and a few horror stories as well ) I do prefer the south end for the vastly superior amount of services available, the less remote location, and more of what I consider to be good, SAFE camping spots. Considering all of these factors, Wahweap would still be my recommendation for this instance.
I hope we can all put our spiny fins back down now?
Don't forget half the time the pump outs don't work. Reports of rattle snakes. Pretty sure that Sasquatch lives up north too.No grocery stores, no propane, no dry ice, houseboats wildly bobbing around Bullfrog bay and sometimes no gas. I think you are correct Ryan. Sq
Red sand giraffes in abundance (I've seen them), Someone said they thought they saw an alligator and don't forget the spirits of the ancestors. You could fall into the drilled holes used to anchor houseboats or run out of ice, yes it is much safer to stay home or at least use the north end of the lake, south end is way to congested and home of the Rude People .Don't forget half the time the pump outs don't work.

Yep, advice to all is to avoid it. That and the San Juan. Stay far away.....
Yes but it's a lake for recreating so wet I shall be. Darn Chinese proverbs. So my Lake Powellism is, "He that has but one houseboat is bound by its confine. He who has two houseboats may enjoy the entirety of its magnificence."Be careful Dreamer, ancient Chinese proverb say,"He with his feet on two boats is bound to get wet."
Me too!We are going to the lake in about 10 days....Please everyone, head south! Hopefully I'll have good water-skiing water up north! (Read "Princess water". I'm too old to fight crappy water )
