Spring and fall offer the best weather for being active outdoors, when camping is especially popular. In winter, head to Mount Charleston and the Spring Mountains to enjoy snow sports. Summer is the most popular time for visiting the Lake Mead area, but summer temperatures can be brutally hot, making it unsafe for most other outdoor recreation, and many desert campgrounds will be closed.
