Mom's RV Spot

2 sites · RVs1 acre · Las Vegas, Clark

Welcoming camp experience in the Las Vegas area. Private RV spot tucked away on a large lot in a quiet neighborhood, yet only 15 minutes to the downtown Fremont Street Experience, and about 25 minutes to the large strip properties like Caesars Palace and MGM. Las Vegas has a lot to offer, but we have you covered with the RV spot. We are in the NW valley with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. When the sun goes down over the Spring Mountains and Mount Charleston beautiful colors illuminate evening clouds. We are in somewhat of a rural area, so you might see bats in the evening, and bunnies in the morning. We have even seen coyote, owls, and of course lots of geese flying between golf courses in the morning during many months of the year. We are away from the city lights, so nighttime can be quite dark, but the moon can be a spectacular site. Our Hipcamp comes equipped with water, electrical service (both 30amp and 50amp), and a sewer connection.

Sage Desert Dreams

1 site · Lodging4 acres · Mount Charleston, Clark

Get out of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature when you stay in this unique place. Local Deer and fox roaming the area if you are lucky to see them. Wake up to a gorgeous mountain/valley view , BBQ during the day and enjoy smore's with the firepit at night. Miles of hiking right off the property and in the surrounding areas. Lots of local dirt bike and side by side riders in the area as well. There are virtually no neighbors. You will feel as though you have the entire valley to yourself! 4-wheel drive highly recommended and it is off-road/ off-grid driving... I have seen 2-wheel and Tesla's make it up there as well, you will need to be a confident driver.

3MOONS Project

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · Tecopa, Inyo

We are in the Mojave Desert, 27 miles east of Tecopa, California off the Old Spanish Trail. We are halfway between the bright lights of Las Vegas and the expansive starry skies of Death Valley. A few generations ago roamed here the Shoshone Tribe. At the same time, pioneers from the East traveled on the Old Spanish Trail which crosses our own land. Now, a few of us who enjoy the great space and silence are creating with the earth. We build comfortably, off-grid, with the challenges of unpredictable weather and extreme climate. Some of us, like me, guided by a passion to create space in and with this earth, build with earthbags and bottles. In Spring, 2015, we began building. Slowly, thanks to like-minded, enthusiastic helpers, we grow! We enjoy sharing this space with others, like You?! who also love the hum of our planet Earth, its critters, and being in touch with our own selves. Sleep in this unique, magical place, wrapped in the arms of the Earth. Bring in, take out! BE responsible for yourselves and for our fragile desert!

Valley of Fire State Park

Moapa Valley, Nevada

Desert and dog-friendly camping near Las Vegas guide

Las Vegas may be best known for its neon lights, casinos, and entertainment, but it also offers a surprising number of options for outdoor adventures. Within just an hour of the Strip, you can go hiking, biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, and off-roading on epic terrain, and enjoy all sorts of water activities. Even snow sports can be found nearby in winter. Camping options are just as diverse, from casino-affiliated and independent RV parks full of amenities within city limits, to dispersed and developed national park and state park campgrounds in and near the desert, mountains, and lakes.

Where to Go

Las Vegas and Vicinity

Camping options inside Las Vegas are limited to private RV parks and resorts, including some that come with casino amenities and full hookups. Just 20 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip is the Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, which offers fantastic rock climbing, hiking, biking, and horseback riding. One seasonal campground offers space for tents, RVs, and groups. Campers can also overnight in the backcountry above 5,000 feet or get bivy permits to stay overnight on climbing walls and summit areas. For wildlife and free primitive, backcountry, and dispersed car camping, head north to the massive Desert National Wildlife Refuge.

Valley of Fire State Park

Set 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas and just 6 miles from Lake Mead National Recreation area, Valley of Fire State Park is known for its surreal red sandstone terrain of canyons and cliffs in the Mojave Desert. There are two campgrounds inside the park for tent and RV camping, including one open year-round. Dispersed camping options can also be found just outside the west and east entrances to the park.

Lake Mead National Recreation Area

Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers 1.5 million acres of mountains, canyons and two lakes, Lake Mead and Lake Mohave. Getting out on the water is the main draw here, though biking and hiking trails are also available. More than a dozen national park and concessionaire-run campgrounds offer around 900 tents and RV sites, including the convenient Boulder Beach Campground just minutes from Las Vegas. Campers can also enjoy vehicle, horseback, shoreline, and backcountry camping.

Spring Mountains National Recreation Area

Just 30 minutes from Las Vegas, Mount Charleston, as the area is better known, is part of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. With snow-capped peaks, it’s a local favorite for escaping the desert and summer heat, and to go hiking, biking, and rock climbing. There’s a ski resort in the winter. Several developed campgrounds offer tent and RV sites, including the year-round Fletcher View Campground. Cabins are available at the Mount Charleston Lodge, while three wilderness areas are nearby for campers seeking solitude.

When to Go

Summer is the most popular time for visiting the Lake Mead area. Summer temperatures can be brutally hot, making it unsafe for most other outdoor recreation, and many desert campgrounds will be closed. Spring and fall offer the best weather for being active outdoors, when camping is especially popular. In winter, head to Mount Charleston and the Spring Mountains to enjoy snow sports.
