"Flushing toilets and running water in the bathroom was nice. Beautiful sunset views, and the hills block all signs of civilization."
"The site was in the middle of a turn around, so we were in the "donut center" so to speak and it was quiet, shaded and beautiful. Lot of palms and oleander that gave a lot of privacy."

"It’s a well kept, gated community which includes cabins, cottages, pools, pickle-ball courts and organized community events like bingo, free waffle breakfast a few days per week."
"Propane on site is $2.75/gal (so cheap compared to what prices are now), but they only fill on Wednesdays."
"It’s essentially just a gravel parking lot up against a fence. You do have a picnic table. Neighbors are very close. It was a great option for me coming off of a week of true Boondocking."
ScoutHello this is the owner/property manager. This geodesic dome is great for the off road/ off grid adventurer. We provide cooking supplies, fun games, and the most gorgeous hilltop view in the canyon.
GuideThis was my first time camping at Hilltop. I reserved online, which is great, so when I got there I just pulled into the spot. The camp host came by and asked for either my ID or the reservation.
I stayed in Spot 1, which is nice if you want to be a little secluded, but I did have a lot of traffic noise when trucks or loud motorcycles came by. The tent area was level and smooth, which was a big help when Tent #1, which set up beautifully in my living room, refused to, in spite of much coaxing and cursing. I had to drive back into town and buy Tent #2, which was watertight even when the rain came pouring down.
There is no running water in the campground. Spigots have been capped, and where there once were showers, there are now portable toilets. In the larger group areas, they (and the trash bins) fill up fast, but less so in the remainder of the campground. Walk a little bit farther and you'll likely find a cleaner portable. This campground is very tent friendly.
If you want truly incredible views, reserve spots 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18. 22, or 23. All are on the outside edge overlooking the valley below. There are also deer that graze when the campground is quieter, and nearby access to a lot of hiking areas.
LegendGravel roads when you enter into this RV park as well as gravel spots, full hook ups, showers and bathrooms, a nice little grass area with barbecue grill and picnic tables nice little dog area nearby a lot of dust however it has everything you could need not to mention you’re very close to death Valley so it’s a great little RV park nearby to Death Valley without being in the heart of death Valley overall a well kept little RV park for a day or two
LegendGood Campground 30-40 mins outside of Vegas. Pretty steep drive up the hill to the campground, but views are great. Hiking trails nearby. Only downside was that pavement was not flat for sleeping in the RV
RangerEnormous group campground. Went for a family gathering. Lots of shade from the gnarly pine trees growing all over the campground. Plenty of spots to hang a hammock or put a tent. Lots of already built seating in the form of stone benches.
Vault toilets were decently clean. Water is usually available but was not when I was there. Fires were also forbidden when I was there as there because of wildfire fears.
Very close to the Mt Charleston North Loop Trail. Since I was with family I did not attempt it (it’s 10+ miles long), but we did go hike at nearby Robber’s Roost which is easy. I have done the North Loop in the past, and the Rain Tree is definitely worth seeing if you can make the hike.
Gear Review: This contains a review of MuckBoots Fieldblazer boots, which were provided to me free of charge***
I was extremely excited to win a MuckBoots giftcard from The Dyrt in the June contest for Nevada. After intense deliberation, I decided to go with the Muck Fieldblazer. Although I don’t hunt, I do stomp around in the woods near my grandmother’s in Placerville California. I have also experienced miserable wet and muddy days camping at Mt. Charleston while my socks are wet from the rain. I’ve had a few chances to test the water resistance when it rained here in Las Vegas last July. They handled the above the ankle deep running water wonderfully and kept my socks dry.
After establishing their waterproof credentials, I decided to give their wearability a try on the Robber’s Roost trail, which is about short hike up to a cave, about a mile round trip. I didn’t get any blisters, and though they were somewhat tight on my calves it didn’t cause any issues.
Overall they were excellent waterproof general use boots. Because of their size I wouldn’t take them on extended backpacking trips, but for hikes and tromping around in muddy or wet environments they are perfect.

TravelerAt an elevation of 6200 ft this is a great place to get away from it all. But there are some things that those coming here should know. There is NO RUNNING WATER. Be prepared to bring your own if you are staying for any length of time.
There is NO CELLULAR SERVICE. The "toilets" are vault toilets (fancy outhouses) that are not regularly maintained, but were also reasonably clean.
There are 7 sites total. Two up one side on a small hill, two by the first vault toilet, one in the middle, and then a group site with two tent pads by the second vault toilet.
Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and tent pad. Bring your own firewood. Pack out your trash.
I was there for 3 nights, when we arrived we were the only people there until late in our second day.
The roads were passable with a hearty 2wd truck/SUV, but 4wd is recommended. You will NOT get to this campground in a car. You need ground clearance to make it up the rough roads.
Weather was pleasant & dry. Nights were cold to cool. Lots of sun. Pack the sunscreen - ask me how I know.
Overall a great place to getaway to if you need a break from civilization.
TravelerNice campsite for tents or RVs. Flushing toilets and running water in the bathroom was nice. Beautiful sunset views, and the hills block all signs of civilization. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you are 20 minutes from Vegas. We stayed in late March which was a great time to stay. Low 70s during the day and maybe 59 at the coldest part of the nice.
TravelerTwo nights tent camping. 35$ a nite but considering it has everything a KOA has and is in California near a national park that's a pretty good price (KOA in Bakersfield charges upwards of 80 a nite for way less for example) (we didnt realize theres free blm dispersed camping right down the road, whoops). Wifi is good, grass is great for a tent, mostly rvers tho for sure. Warm water pool is excellent. Pupfish are cute. Walking distance to crowbar cafe and the extremely overpriced gas station (it's worth it to drive to pahrump nv to buy gas food cigs beer etc). Quick drive over to tecopa where we spent most of our time (recommend the free hot springs, food from kit fox cafe, beer from death valley brewery, hikes and food at the China ranch date farm and talking to all the weirdos that live in or frequent the area). Also highly recommend ripping up to death valley junction to take a tour of the spooky beautiful Amargosa Opera House. At the campground small little annoying rules about locking the bathroom, shower in men's room doesn't lock, but overall a good quiet, safe spot, would def come again if needing all the amenities. No fire rings at site, one group fire pit by library .

MOUNTAIN VIEWS. WELL KEPT AND MANAGED.
