The best waterside campgrounds near Laughlin, Nevada

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.

Weekend Trip to Silver Sunsets

I read a bad review saying it was hard to find - this is completely false. The place was very easy to find from both Google maps and his instructions. Nice, peaceful setting with Joshua trees all around and windmills in the distance - they look close but they weren't close enough for us to hear them. The host was friendly, as was his dog, and he even gave us some fresh eggs from his chickens. We enjoyed the stay and found it well worth it.

Weekend Trip to Silver Sunsets

Absolutely beautiful sunset and desert view, we especially loved the Joshua Trees and all the different cactus. Eric is very welcoming and super helpful, accommodating our schedule changes and giving directions. We also loved his very enthusiastic dog Una!

The best waterside camping near Laughlin 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.
