Happy Trails Campground & Mini Motel

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available at Happy Trails Campground & Mini Motel, a privately run facility in campgrounds around Meadview that takes in full hookup RVs up to 50 feet, tent campers, and horse campers under the same roof. Rates run $18 to $95 per night depending on site type, and the campground stays open year-round. One note on navigation: reviewers consistently flag that Google Maps directions lead through a confusing route, and the campground's own instructions are worth following instead.

Sites are level and solid, with electric, water, and sewer hookups available for RVs, plus a dump station, WiFi, showers, and drinking water on-site. Spaces are large enough to accommodate a rig, a boat, and ATVs together, which makes this a practical base for Lake Mead visits. The lake's water level has dropped significantly in recent years, and at least one camper notes that low water affects handicap access at the shoreline. The area has ATV trails in multiple directions and canyon access within a short drive.

The campground is family-operated, and the hosts draw consistent mention across reviews for being approachable without being intrusive. Free coffee in the mornings is a recurring detail. "Small town, big heart is what comes to mind," notes Whitney W. Nights here tend to be quiet, and the open desert setting gives unobstructed sightlines toward the Grand Wash Cliffs and a dark enough sky for stargazing. Pets are allowed throughout.

South Cove RV Resort & Motel is a nearby alternative for campers who want a different setup in the same corridor.

Very quite and comfortable

I really liked the views! Sites were somewhat different but level and solid. But the whole drive thru the neighbors front yard threw me for a minute until I got the gist of it. Very quite! Gas available for less than five dollars a plus as well! Lake mead is extremely low so, it wasn’t the best place for handicap access. But beautiful scenery!

Worth the trip!

Small town, big heart is what comes to mind when I think of Happy Trails. Extremely hospitable hosts, very welcoming, but will respect your space if you’re not feeling chatty. Free coffee in the mornings and clean bathrooms with a shower. I tent camped with 2 dogs, lots of space on the tent sites. Beautiful skies with visible starry nights, scenic Lake Mead is nearby. I would go out of my way to stay here again.

Love this place!!

I was greeted promptly by Scarlet, the 12-year-old boss. So cute! A small family run diamond in the rough RV park was such a pleasant surprise. I stayed 5 nights and will be back next year. The Joshua trees are beautiful. It has a great location 45 minutes from the West rim grand Canyon. There are several canyons minutes away that provide amazing sunsets.

Great experience! Loved this family owned & operated campground

Fell in love with this campground! Needed a quick stop & safe place to sleep on my way to grand canyon I was so sweetly surprised! Wasn't expecting much, there weren't any reviews. This campground was just taken over... by a kind family who now owns and operates the business with their children... I was greeted by "the boss" little miss scarlett who gave me a tour, fun facts, and cupcakes she had baked. The LOVE creativity and passion the owners have, for this work in progress campground is apparent. Seems like they are working their butts off to provide amazing experiences for their guest... like wild horses and glamping! I rarely write reviews but felt it so important and wanted their hard work to not go unnoticed.  I can't wait to revisit on my next road trip in Arizona!

Awesome Campground

Awesome place to stay! Amazing view of the Grandwash Cliffs! Nothing can compete for star gazing at night! The sky just lights up with a trillion stars at night...HUGE rv spaces big enough for our rig, boat and atvs!  Lake Mead is only 10 minutes away! This campground is perfect for those with the outdoor bug like us. Hiking for miles atv trails everwhere you turn. We had a blast. Owners and staff where helpful and informative. WE WILL BE BACK!
