2. Mom's RV Spot

20mi from Mount Charleston · 2 sites · RVs

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, owl, 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 in the night sky. Red Rock Canyon is 16 miles away. Many of our guests enjoy the scenic beauty or climbing opportunities in Red Rock. Nevada's newest state park, Ice Age Fossils State Park, is just a few miles away and offers a glimpse into prehistoric time in the region. If you enjoy ziplining then check out Slotzilla at Fremont Street or on the Las Vegas strip at the LINQ. Our Hipcamp comes equipped with water, electrical service (both 30amp and 50amp), and a sewer connection.

31mi from Mount Charleston · 1 site · RV

Las Vegas has been booming for years, but we snagged this quiet little gem before it got too wild. Nestled off the beaten path on a peaceful road, our spot gives you the best of both worlds—easy access to all the Strip’s action, yet far enough away to unwind in serenity. We’re proud to be home to the Southern NV Beagle Rescue Foundation, lovingly dubbed Beagletopia. You might even catch some adorable beagle vibes while you’re here! Perfect for campers who want a chill retreat with a dash of Vegas flair. Come pitch your tent, park your rig, or just soak in the desert calm—your escape awaits! About This Land: Roll up to your own desert oasis—a dry camping haven for self-contained RVs (pack your generator, no power hookups here!). Gaze out at endless desert vistas, with the neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip just 9 miles—or 15 thrilling minutes—away. You’re a stone’s throw from shopping, the Raiders practice stadium, and I-15 (5 min), with Red Rock Canyon’s rugged trails (25 min) and Mt. Charleston’s cool pines (1 hr) begging to be explored. Your Stay Makes a Difference: By choosing to stay with us, you’re not just escaping to the desert—you’re also supporting our local nonprofit dog rescue, giving lovable beagles a brighter future. As you settle in, keep an eye out for the desert’s wild residents—speedy roadrunners, curious jackrabbits, or coyotes if you’re lucky! You might hear the occasional joyful bark or gentle howl as the dogs greet the day, but it’s far from a constant clamor.

2 nights at Jeffry’s Farm

Jeffry’s Farm was a very convenient location for our needs. It is under a flight path, but we found this not to be a problem. Evenings were fairly peaceful and we actually enjoyed watching the planes come in during the day. Parking area was fairly flat and easy to get in and out of. We would stay here again if in the area.

Weekend Trip to Mom's RV Spot

The place was quiet and clean, had all the hookups we needed for the one night stay. Leo greeted us in the morning since we arrived late. Nice place to stay for the night on our trip from LA to Utah. Space was big enough for us, groomed, and flat. Firewood included but we did not have a fire that night.

Weekend Trip to Mom's RV Spot

Leo’s land was perfect for our last night after a long two weeks of dispersed camping. There was a fire pre-made just waiting to be lit, and Leo offered us coffee and hot chocolate the following morning. Leo was easy to talk to, and gave us some great recommendations for a future trip! We will highly recommend this spot to everyone we know traveling to the area.

We had a great stay at Leo’s place. He was a wonderful host! The spot was very large, well maintained and level with easy access to all hookups. Leo had a fire pit with all of the wood for fires throughout our stay, it was a great touch. Leo has chickens on his property and allowed our children to go over each day and help to feed and care for them, it really made the kids feel special and was such a great experience for them. We would absolutely recommend anyone to go and stay with Leo while in Vegas. Thank you for everything Leo!!

Weekend Trip to Beagletopia - Your Quiet Escape!

It was wonderful camping. close enough to civilization that I didn't have to worry if I forgot something, but far enough away that it was quiet all weekend - unless you don't like the sound of coyotes singing, and dark enough to sit out, watch the sunset, and enjoy a nice pour of Weller C.Y.P.B.. My trailer is 22 feet, so I would pull in, and still unhook, giving me a great view of the mountains. Some weekends, I just need to get away from the house and all the stuff, and I will certainly look for this spot.

We stayed here for 10 days with our class A RV and had a great experience! The site was private, peaceful, and really well kept. Full hookups worked perfectly, and you can tell Leo takes pride in keeping everything nice and tidy! Site was spacious and had everything we needed! Leo was awesome- super friendly, easy to talk to, and always happy to help with anything we needed! Felt like we were staying at a friends and we were super comfortable! We loved meeting Mackenzie the tiny yorkie and of course my favorite, the chickens! If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful site don’t hesitate to book here at Mom’s RV Spot.

Exactly as described - I didn’t get to meet the camel cause I was there so briefly (10p-6a for one night) BUT I admired both horses and alpacas! Would def stay again - without traffic it’s less than 10 mins from the airport. (Midday it would prob be like 16-17 min)

We stayed here while visiting Vegas, and it worked out great! The spot is a driveway, but Stephanie was super kind and let us use an exterior plug, which made our stay much more comfortable. It’s a quiet little tucked-away corner of Vegas, and the drive to the Strip was reasonable. It’s semi-private since it’s just the front driveway, but overall it was peaceful. This spot did the job perfectly as a last minute option for our stay.

Leo is super responsive and checked on me. He already had a fire built. The lot was perfectly cleaned and raked. The full hookup was better than most top notch Rv parks. Perfect for dogs on your roadtrip because it’s fenced it. Book this place for a awesome relaxing stay, your only 24 minute drive from the Strip.
