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.

Garden Oasis in the Heart of Vegas
1 site · RV2 acres · Las Vegas, Clark
Our property sits on 2 acres in the heart of Las Vegas. It is one of the original homesteads of Las Vegas which we are trying to take back to a homestead. The original owners of the property played a huge hand in the building of Vegas. As we have cleaned up the property treasures of a 100 years ago have been found all over the property. On the property you will find a huge garden out front that you are welcome to pick from. We also have over 50 trees on the property you are welcome to walk around and enjoy. If you find yourself in the duck coop or the chicken coop and find an egg you are welcome to enjoy it. Feel free to enjoy the pool, bbq and outside bathroom which has a shower, and full size washer and dryers. Because we are a "working hobby farm" you will see some weeds and you may even see a project or two we are working on, feel free to join in but please be understanding that in order for us to improve things it will get little messy and can take time to complete. Also, please check the weather before you book, Vegas if very hot during the summer months, if your rig doesn't have AC you will not be comfortable as night temps can be easily over 100.

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!

Camping near Mount Charleston guide
Tucked in a valley at 7,500 feet just east of its namesake peak, the highest in Clark County at 11,918 feet, the small town of Mount Charleston is a gateway to the many outdoor adventures available in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, and offers respite from the desert heat. Recreational opportunities abound, including hiking, biking, horseback riding, off-roading, and rock climbing. In winter, activities include sledding, cross-country skiing, and downhill skiing at the Lee Canyon Ski Resort. Camping options vary, ranging from rustic cabins and developed campgrounds to backcountry sites and three wilderness areas for dispersed camping.
Where to Go
Red Rock Canyon and Las Vegas
The neon lights and many amenities of Las Vegas are just 40 miles away. Campers looking to spend the night can choose from numerous RV parks, some of which are attached to casinos. Nearby Rock Canyon National Conservation Area offers rock climbing on sandstone, a change from the limestone of Mount Charleston, and a seasonal campground for tent and RV campers, along with overnight options in the backcountry and on climbing walls.
Desert National Wildlife Refuge
Located just north of Mount Charleston, the Desert National Wildlife Refuge is the largest wildlife refuge outside of Alaska, with a whopping 1.6 million acres. Look for bighorn sheep and other wildlife, and spend the night at the free primitive campground or take advantage of backcountry and dispersed car camping.
Valley of Fire State Park
Seventy miles east of Mount Charleston, Valley of Fire State Park is known for its surreal landscape of red sandstone canyons and cliffs in the Mojave Desert. Two campgrounds offer tent and RV camping inside the park, including one open year-round. Dispersed camping options can also be found just outside the west and east entrances to the park.
Lake Mead
For water activities, head to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and its 1.5 million acres of mountains, canyons, and two lakes, Lake Mead and Lake Mohave. Hiking and biking trails abound, and the area is dotted with some 900 public tent and RV campsites. Campers can also enjoy vehicle, horseback, shoreline, and backcountry camping.
When to go
Mount Charleston is a popular destination in the summer, when visitors are trying to escape the heat of Las Vegas and the desert, easily 20 degrees warmer. With its high elevation, summer is a pleasant time for outdoor recreation. Winter is also a popular time, with visitors looking for snow play. Visit in late spring for wildflowers and autumn for fall colors.
