The best camping near Laughlin with horseback riding

·

Set in southern Nevada near the Arizona and California borders, Laughlin is often considered a laid-back and cheaper alternative to Las Vegas, with a scenic riverwalk and waterfront casino row. Its location on the Colorado River, along with proximity to Lake Mohave, Lake Mead, and Lake Havasu, means there’s plenty of water activities to be had, from river cruises to more active pursuits like swimming, kayaking, water skiing, and fishing. The surrounding desert also offers opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, biking, and off-roading. Campers will find amenities-filled RV resorts in town, while nearby parks and recreation areas offer tent, RV, and primitive camping options along the water and in the desert.

Primitive camping! This 2 acre property is on flat, open, desert terrain and is accessed off road, so please be sure your RV or vehicle can drive off road. Located off I-40 ( old Route 66 ) in Holbrook, Arizona. No power, toilet, water, or sewage. You will need to drive ~1 mile or so off road to get to the provided coordinates.Just 49 miles away you have Castle Mountains National Park. You'll need a high-clearance, 4WD vehicle to get into this extremely remote national monument in the eastern Mojave Desert. Accessible only by dirt roads, Castle Mountains is surrounded on three sides by the Mojave National Preserve. It's the northernmost of the desert region's three new national monuments designated by the President in 2016. This park in northeastern San Bernardino County protects 20,920 acres, located between the interstates I−15 and I−40. There are no facilities, developed campgrounds, or established trails within the monument. Backcountry camping is allowed. Castle Peaks is one of the stars here—a cluster of imposing spires that climb skyward. The peaks are composed mainly of volcanic tuff, and the deep erosion of the rocks has created distinct, sharp summits. You're also rewarded for your efforts to get here by lush grasslands, Joshua tree forests, mountain vistas, and abundant wildlife. The rugged Mojave Desert is home to mountain lions, bighorn sheep, golden eagles, coyotes, and bobcats. Castle Mountains National Monument is always open, but the best times to come are spring and fall. March and April are peak times. The spring rains turn the desert into a carpet of vivid, vibrant wildflowers. Summers are very hot, with daytime temps in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The best camping near Laughlin with horseback riding guide

When to go

Summer temperatures can regularly soar above 110°F in Laughlin, making outdoor activities other than water play dangerous. Spring and fall offer the best weather for outdoor activities, including camping. Spring is a good time for fishing, especially for striped bass. Visit in late April for the Laughlin River Run, one of the largest motorcycle events on the west coast.
