Glamping Adventures— the name itself evokes images of luxury and customer-centric experiences. However, my recent interaction with this company has shattered any illusion of professionalism or integrity they might claim to possess. I booked a glamping experience with Glamping Adventures, enticed by their promises of unique stays and excellent customer service. Little did I know, this would be the beginning of a frustrating and deceitful ordeal. Initially, everything seemed promising. I made a reservation well in advance, excitedly anticipating a getaway that never materialized. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cancel my reservation and was assured by Glamping Adventures that I would receive an almost full refund if they managed to find a replacement guest. Nef stated he was, indded, able to find a gust to take my spot. Here's where the nightmare began. What followed was outright negligence and disrespect for a paying customer. My subsequent emails were met with radio silence. It seemed as though Glamping Adventures had conveniently chosen to disappear rather than fulfill their promise or even communicate honestly. I have kept meticulous records of every interaction— emails detailing their refund policy, promises made and subsequently broken, and the growing frustration with their blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. These records serve as irrefutable evidence of Glamping Adventures' unprofessionalism and lack of respect for their customers. In conclusion, if you value your time, money, and sanity, steer clear of Glamping Adventures. Their enticing promises of a luxurious outdoor experience are nothing but a façade for poor business practices and outright dishonesty. The charm of glamping is tarnished when the company behind it fails to uphold basic standards of customer service and transparency. I urge potential customers to learn from my unfortunate experience and choose a reputable company that values its patrons. Glamping Adventures has lost not only a customer but any semblance of credibility they might have once had.

Not sure even where to begin with this place it has so much to offer once you pull in you see a tropical vibe with amazing RV spots private little shade areas trash cans everywhere, tables at each spot, full hook ups, you can get higher end RV spots with tables and a lot more high-end stuff it has a lot going on like private grills you can get there’s a lot going on for the higher end areas and you also get a lot with just your overnighters but really this RV park has it going on it’s a resort for sure. The pool is so tropical it has a lovely waterfall going into the pool nice hot tub, go inside of the bar and restaurant and enjoy game of bowling, nice gym, gift shop, ice cream for sale in the front, mini golf in the back, literally anything you can think of this place has it going on and it’s absolutely amazing here the staff is awesome, they have appropriate parking when you come to check in so you’re not trying to find a place to park nice pool and sites, get your reservation and then go to your location, they have people driving around maintaining the park at all times. Overall this is an exquisite park close to death Valley, close to area 51, close to Beatty Nevada, not much else you would need from an RV park because they have it all!! For all his dog lovers they have an amazing dog run for your animals and they have bathrooms with shower rinse off at the pool in case you needed to rinse off before going back to your RV also they have event nights going on so check out

Enormous 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.

CAMPING HAS BEEN RESTORED HERE!! …Once upon a time, this area WAS a campground; however, in 2015 it was converted to Day Use only due to flash flooding that occurs in heavy rains. In June 2019, we confirmed that camping has returned! USDA Forest Service website info has not been updated yet, but the new sign posted at the campground confirms that camping overnight is allowed. (This campground is also not included with the collection of campgrounds found on Rec.gov.) The new sign states that sites are recommended for RV use only. That's because when the campground was converted to day use, they removed the tent pads, but you certainly can find a site that will accommodate a tent. The host said some sites were supposed to be left for day use only, but campers are taking all the sites (27), and no one is enforcing it either way. All sites are first come, first serve, with a picnic table, grill, fire ring, but no shade structures. Restrooms, water on tap, and concrete benches are scattered throughout. $12 Mon-Thurs; $18 Fri-Sun & Holidays. Campground is located close to the main Kyle Canyon Rd, so noise can be an issue, but wear earplugs and enjoy the pine trees anyway! This is great news for the Mt Charleston recreation area, as this camping location has been very missed.
LegendCurrently, it’s a perfect time to come check out MNT. Charleston, ’s not crowded and the weather is perfect. This area is day-use only as of right now. The rangers are not sure when it will Be open for the camping season but this is also a campground not just day use so make sure you check that it’s open for camping. It’s all first come first serve and it’s the cheapest place on the mountain when it is open for camping. The ranger said April or may they will open but not sure on a date yet. 12 during the week and 18-weekend prices. If you have a big spot I recommend the double spots, all spots are great for RVs no hook-ups but they have tables, grills, and fire rings. Super nice camp host bob who is there and super helpful. Keep enjoying nature and taking care of her along the way! Cheers… oh one more thing your about a hundred feet from the main road. So try to pick your spot closest to the mountain.
Here are my star ratings based on my lifestyle and what I like. I'm also a mother, dog mama, and a wife so it's not just me it's my crew and i. 1 star- AUTOMATIC relocate… the property is no longer there, trashed or/and I could never have my children there and I wouldn't ever think about staying no matter what. 2 star- Not really my jam, and would NEVER go to again… It probably more of desert life and not really my style for sure…Being from Vegas I can't stand being in the desert and I love the Trees and the Green more than anything. 3 star- Would stay there again in a pinch, but not really my style, the reason its not is because not enough family things to do, the scenery, or the location… but I would go again and feel safe having my kiddos here but only if I needed to in a pinch. 4 star- a really good rating for sure, maybe needed some improvements, minor things like being on top of each other, not a lot of privacy, but honestly little cosmetic things that aren't anything to sweat and would be back again for sure. 5 star- MY FAVORITE… love the location, safety, the surroundings, big camp spots available to fit toys for my kids to play, hammocks to hang, our big family tent, cases of firewood, our suburban or RV, etcccccc….. I would not only come back but would live if I could!!! Anyway thanks for reading and enjoy every moment like it's your last! CHEERS!

TravelerOur first night we had extremely loud neighbors and were disappointed the camp host did not shut the party down through 2am. That aside, the sites are very clean and level and the views are incredible. Plenty of shade trees to string a hammock. Bring your own water or fill up at lee canyon campsite (20 minutes down the road) for free. High altitude, does get quite chilly at night.
LegendStayed two nights with a few friends and we had two campsites next to each other. Because one of my friends brought a huge tent for just her and her daughter, my wife and I moved our tent off the main section of where you are supposed to place your tent. After we got set up and in the middle of making dinner for everyone, the host comes up and makes us move our tent… we were only a few feet away from the designated tent spot. We had the only two sites in a curve, so no other campsites where around. He sees my obviously pregnant wife by our tent and continues to tell us to move, and didn't even give us time to assist with making dinner. There was a total of 6 of us with 2 kids between 2 campsites. He ended up calling the LVMPD on us for being too loud at 7pm. Metro saw 2 kids and 4 adults and one who was pregnant and sided with us. He saw we weren't being loud and said he would talk to the host. This spot is one of my favorites in Mt. Charleston but the host is not great. Not sure what the issue really was, as hardly any of the sites were occupied. Would not recommend pulling a trailer around this site, there are two extremely tight turns. All tent campers except for one pop up pull trailer that was about 10 feet long.
ScoutWe loved this campsite, super clean and had a lot of privacy and room. We got lucky and snagged one of the last spots when we arrived around 5:30 PM on a Thursday.
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
ScoutThere is no water but they are kept clean.
A lot of spots but just enough privacy for your spot.
A beautiful view!
LegendCampground has smaller sites, closer together, no water, smaller scrubby pines (limited shade), but it is still a great escape from the Las Vegas heat. Difficult to navigate larger RVs/trailers, but perfect for tents and smaller RVs/trailers. One of the original campgrounds built by the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC). Check www.reserveamerican.com for current updates and alerts (fire restrictions, closures).
RangerConveniently located outside of Las Vegas, this spot was great for our group to crash after flying into Vegas and heading to the mountains. Friendly camp host, reservable online, cool in the evenings.
TravelerEasy to get to, expect some lighting & some rain. There's a Target & aWal-Mart 25 min away from the campground. Restrooms but no showers
TravelerHilltop Campground is a great spot in the summer and fall to get out of the heat of the Las Vegas valley. The campground has tons of trees for shade and is at altitude, so is usually 20 degrees cooler than the valley itself. Gets full early.
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.
RangerBring water and don’t expect to use the bathroom. The bathrooms were locked and they didn’t have water. But it was a wonderful view and a nice adventure.
GuideWonderful campgrounds, dry bring your own water (thats only reason its not a 5 star review) plus side to that is keeps crowds away!
ScoutLove this campground to escape the Las Vegas heat in the summer. Camp is clean and has many first come first serve as well as reservation sites. Porta potties only, but kept clean. The sites near the front of the campground have a great overlook view.
LegendCurrently they are not open yet after remodeling but the ranger said they should be opening hopefully this year since they were set back do to covid. I’ll go back in a few weeks to check when they will be opening but from what I heard stunning as can be.

LegendFinally, got into this campground today. It has been closed for sometime. This campground is for groups only and by reservation, no FCFS. They did an amazing job getting this place set up. Multiple large group sites, each with water spots. All spots have great views of the surrounding area. All sites can accommodate at least 6-10 vehicles. This site is close to the wonderful Desert Overlook Trail.
GuideThis place was beautiful. It was winter when I went so the snow was a little tough to get threw, but totally worth it! Great camping, breathtaking scapes and not that far away from the city. Lots of trails to venture on.
LegendNewly rehabbed with six beautiful sites. Handicap accessible, large concrete gathering areas, concrete benches, fire pits, clean restrooms, water on taps, lots of asphalt parking, and educational signs about the history of the area throughout. Very close to the easy hike in Mahogany Grove, which has a wheelchair accessible section, and more interesting signs about the history of the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) and their building of many of the recreational sites in the area.
Traveler
Lots of room too spread out. Great views!!!
Traveler
Great experience. I arrived late at night and was still able to check in with a pay stub. Even though it’s mid/late November the weather was great! Just take a cool weather sleeping bag and you’ll be good.
This campground is reservable 15 days in advance, but if you missed that deadline, there is first come-first serve camping as well. There were many spots open when I came. When you get here, scout for a spot, remember your site number and license plate info, and then go back to pay at the pay stub center (at the entrance of the campground).
Its $20 a night to camp here. BRING CASH! :)
No showers, just bathrooms.
GuideThis campground is very quite but seems to have smaller sites than others. When entering there are few spots to accommodate bigger trailers although some spots you can see where the site has been extended into the dirt. I like the no generator section as it is super quite at night. Quite time starts at 10pm in other sections.
