Lake Mead National Recreation Area provides numerous pet-friendly hiking opportunities, including the River Mountains Loop Trail accessible near Boulder Beach. Dogs must remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet throughout the recreation area, and owners should carry waste bags as dedicated pet waste stations are limited.

Boulder City, located 10 minutes from Boulder Beach, offers veterinary services and pet supplies for campers needing to resupply.

    Desert Eagle RV Park - Military Only

    Another perk for Vets

    Las Vegas KOA Journey at Sam's Town

    KOA Winning!!!

    This is a one night stay for us and a last minute idea! Was a little worried about finding somewhere for an RV and peoples reviews scared me. This KOA is right off the Highway with easy parking for all sizes, 15 minutes from Vegas strip and there is a casino right next to us too. Friendly staff at check-in, 2 security men patrolling at 1am when we got in. Dog park and dog relief area are small but clean. Showers and bathrooms are well lit and clean. Pool looked good but did not have a chance to get in. Friendly neighbors too. Would definitely come back again.

    Las Vegas KOA Journey at Sam's Town

    Nice stop

    The staff were very friendly and had hours until 9pm. This was refreshing as we got a late start to our trip and arrived in around 8pm. Most campgrounds this would be considered after hours. Maintenance and security were always around the park and friendly. The campground has 2 dog parks. They were both fairy clean! Thankfully we got a back in spot with grass since we did have our dog. Most of the park is just gravel. Just a 5 minute walk across the parking garage to get to the casino if you choose to go to the one that is linked up with it. Would stay here again

    Desert Sands RV Resort

    Great SAFE park..

    First time living in 5th wheel 26 ft camper home. The staff is always helpful and mailroom lady helpful. The park always clean and security present always, plus they do rounds every hour and at dark the gate closed to one car entry with security officer to validate entry which as a single lady I prefer.  Clubhouse nice with tv games for families and pool has bbq station as heated pool with hot tub beside pool nice chairs to layout and also designed with seating around pool. I feel safe which if needed I have CCP for Vegas but don't feel need weapon in park but out in streets of Vegas always good idea. Covid has made homeless issues out in every area of Vegas but this park does great job as have not seen one homeless in Park. As everyone has to show Id at gate.. I have spent first month with no issues and two dog parks with grass parks close by within 1.5 miles.

    Thousand Trails Las Vegas

    Tight tight spaces

    Thousand Trails Las Vegas offers the convenience of being close to downtown and the Strip, but the immediate neighborhood leaves something to be desired.

    The RV sites are extremely tight, often requiring neighbors to move vehicles to allow larger rigs to maneuver. Facilities are minimal, with the smallest bathrooms imaginable—there’s barely any legroom in the stalls, and the stoop outside the restroom is a tripping hazard (I fell and got bruised). Laundry is great.

    While there is a dog park, the gate was broken upon arrival, only to be manually fixed by a fellow camper. Pool was closed until further notice.

    Security is present with 24/7 gate monitoring, but enforcement felt lax when an unknown vehicle parked in front of our RV on Halloween night. Though the intruder eventually moved, it was unsettling that security didn’t intervene.

    This park works as a quick city base but comes with several drawbacks.

    Thousand Trails Las Vegas

    Very Close to Your Neighbors & Noisy

    We stayed at this park twice while passing North and South of Las Vegas.  It's a no frills Thousand Trails park that could use some updating.  The spaces are very tight together partially because the occupants don't follow the site lines on the ground.  We saw several that parked on the line and extended their slide outs into the area of the next RV'er, therefore, they were unable to extend their awning.  Car parking is chaos, again because no one seems to stay within the space lines painted on the ground. We had difficulty even backing into our site because of the way the next door neighbor parked his rig and vehicle.  They finally saw us struggling and came out to move their car.  There is noise from a busy road behind the park and it's in the path of the airport.  Between the noise and the close quarters, we were ready to move on after a week.  The laundry rooms were decent but twice we found washers to be out of order.  Showers are OK.  Dog park is half grass and half dirt.  Pool was closed when we arrived but looks nice.  Some annual or seasonal sites could use some clean up.  Looked like they were storing everything they owned outside.

    Desert Eagle RV Park - Military Only

    Fly Over Central

    We are loving this place. Everyone has been super friendly. We did check our personal weapons at the armory upon arrival, and the process did take about an hour, but it was painless. Check-in was very quick. Our camp site (37) is nice. we have some trees at the site that do help with this sweltering heat.. Our site is pull through with full hookups. All work well. Easy access. The dog park is nice. There are several on the grounds. Also, walking trails. I would caution about the Cacti with your animals. Watch those paws. Nellis has a great location. I mean if the daily, all day fly overs are not amazing enough, the beautiful views of the Vegas skyline nearby is also wonderful. You are close enough to everything Vegas if you want to partake, but yet if you dont want to , you can ignore it all together. Commissary and base exchange are nice. The base seems to have all you need. Many restraints and box stores right down Craig Road less than a 10 minute drive. Highly recommend! For 30 bucks a night for premium spot. Can't beat it.

    Riviera RV Park 55+

    Very nice for the location

    This place has all the basic amenities you will need. There is no tent camping, only rigs. The prices start around $40 a night with hookups. They did have security patrolling through the park, so that is a plus for the location. Everything was clean and well kept. They do allow up to two pets, however, large dogs and aggressive breeds are not allowed. "Don't follow the GPS coordinates on The Dyrt app." It lead me right into the middle of the neighborhood next to the facility.  Not cool when pulling a trailer.

Guide to Temple Bar Marina

Dispersed camping areas near Temple Bar Marina provide opportunities for a secluded outdoor experience in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Located in the Mojave Desert region of Arizona at approximately 1,200 feet elevation, this area experiences extreme summer temperatures frequently exceeding 110°F from June through August. Winter camping offers milder daytime temperatures between 50-70°F with occasional overnight freezes.

What to do

Burro watching near lake access: Kingman Wash offers unique wildlife viewing opportunities with wild burros that roam the area. "We had two that visited us (please don't feed them!) and were a delightful change of wildlife from the bears and deer we are used to back home. You could hear them 'talking' near the water later that eve," reports one camper at Kingman Wash.

Off-road exploration: Areas surrounding Temple Bar Marina contain numerous trails for ATV enthusiasts. "Lots of trails to explore with your off roading toys," notes a reviewer at Happy Trails Campground & Mini Motel.

Stargazing: The remote location offers exceptional night sky viewing with minimal light pollution. "Nothing better than coming here when it was cloudy and it made the rocks look insane!! Such a pretty little state park that as an adult I have never been to until now and I knew nothing of its beauty," shares a camper about Valley of Fire State Park.

Paddleboarding on Lake Mead: The calm waters near dispersed camping areas provide ideal conditions for paddleboarding. "The water is great and is perfect for my paddleboard!" mentions a visitor at Kingman Wash.

What campers like

Secluded waterfront spots: Stewart's Point offers direct access to Lake Mead shoreline. "Stewart's point was great to us! Came in at night and woke up to some awesome waves. It was very windy when we stayed here. You can hike forever and close to valley of the fire!" writes a camper about Stewart's Point Dispersed Camping.

Vault toilets at dispersed sites: Unlike many free camping areas, some dispersed locations provide basic facilities. "Access to lake mead, plenty of little pull offs scattered throughout a small valley to set up camp in, a vault toilet, and a herd of Burros roaming around," notes a Kingman Wash visitor.

Level parking at dispersed sites: Many campers appreciate the terrain at dispersed locations. "Nice, quiet, flat areas that are perfect for big rigs. 14 day limit. Road coming in a tad bumpy but not horrible if you take your time," explains a visitor to Stewart's Point.

Proximity to Grand Canyon West: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Temple Bar Marina offer convenient access to major attractions. "In love with the Grand Canyon West view. Very kind crew. Quiet place. Easy access (following their instructions, not the Google maps)," writes a visitor to Happy Trails Campground.

What you should know

Road conditions: Access to dispersed camping areas requires careful driving. "The road is about 3 miles, but takes about 25 minutes to traverse. It's hilly, bumpy and holey. High clearance vehicle suggested, but we made it in a Kia Soul!" shares a visitor at Kingman Wash.
