Where is the best place to stay and launch if not doing a houseboat?
Coming from CA you will most likely go for the AZ side of the lake which will be Wahweap or Antelope Point Marina. Waheap has a hotel pretty close to the water and you will pay dearly and will have to book WAY in advance. Antelope Point Marina I feel has better amenities with cart service and the floating restaurant and store. Wahweap might be the best also if you plan to camp on the lake since it's forgiving shores and many camping places. Leaving APM you will have to drive a distance to get to suitable shore camping. Navajo is close to APM and epic sand camping but you bet your ass it's BUSY and will be crowded mid summer. Powell really offers endless adventures no matter where you go on the lake, there's always a place to make home for the night. You can also rent hotels in Page, AZ and travel 10 minutes to the lake everyday. Again very pricey and you will need to book in advance.
