Camping near Laughlin

·

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.

A little secret paradise you will fall in love with. Her imperfections make her perfectly rustic and vintage. As a one-bedroom, one-bathroom small 570-square-foot home, I was able to create an illusion of the space being larger than it is.

It’s ideal for hikers, dirt bike riders, overlanders, and campers seeking privacy, silence, and authentic backcountry vibes—while still close enough for lake days and supply runs. This is true backcountry-style camping: wide, untamed land with sweeping desert views, open skies, and a deep sense of space that makes everything slow down. Days are made for exploring on foot, hiking desert terrain, dirt bike and off-road riding, and wandering quiet washes that feel untouched. The land is open and forgiving, ideal for overland rigs, vans, dirt bikes, and minimalist campers who want room to move and breathe. When night falls, the desert really shows off. Stargazing here is unreal—no city glow, no campground lights, just stars stacked on stars and the Milky Way stretching across the sky. Campfires (when legal) bring warmth and stillness, and the silence feels intentional, not empty. You’re close to Lake Mojave for daytime adventures like fishing, boating, or swimming, yet far enough away to feel completely disconnected from crowds and noise.

Golden Camp Flats

18. Golden Camp Flats

30mi from Laughlin · 1 site
Bass Camps Flats is a peaceful stretch of high-desert land where the horizon feels endless and the noise of the world finally fades out. Wide-open flats roll into subtle desert rises, offering panoramic scenic views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and some of the darkest night skies you’ll find this close to civilization. At night, the stars take over—perfect for stargazing, astrophotography, or just laying back by the fire and watching the Milky Way drift by. During the day, the land invites exploration: hiking, wandering washes, dirt bike riding, overland travel, and quiet off-grid camping. You’re far enough out to feel truly unplugged, yet close to Lake Mojave for fishing, swimming, boating, and day trips—plus easy access to Laughlin for supplies, food, and fuel. This is primitive desert camping at its best: raw, open, quiet, and grounding. No crowds. No neighbors. Just space, sky, and stillness.
