Best RV Parks & Resorts near Blue Diamond, NV

For a casino campground, you can't beat this one. It's greatest attraction is that you are within walking distance of Sam's Town Hotel & Casino, which is a great local place with movie theaters, large selection of dining options (sit down restaurants & fast food), gorgeous 10-story indoor atrium with the Mystic Falls Laser Light Show, and of course gaming. As for the KOA, there's a pool, showers, laundry facility, full hook-ups, propane refills, Wi-Fi, cable, clubhouse, general store, pet park with bench & shade, and a Wal-mart right across the street (with a fairly large RV supply section).

It should be noted that Sam's Town KOA has 2 locations:  5225 Boulder Highway (which is discussed in this review).  And... 4040 S. Nellis Blvd (which is very much inferior).  Beware of your location when booking reservations!!

Whether you want to stay a night, week or A month this place has it all. Full hook ups, no tent camping, some pull through sites others are back in. Handicap spots available near the restrooms. This park also has Restrooms, showers and laundry available. They have a hotel and a bar/ restaurant. Pool is available for everyone staying and dogs are allowed as long on leashes. They offer water Dump station available Sewage hook ups A few gazebos around the park so you can enjoy a sandwich at a table. You are Literally in the center of the city. They do have some rules and guidelines I would read and check out their website because they are very particular with the type of rvs and travel trailers they allowed so read the guidelines before you book. Lush trees surrounding nicely paved roads. Overall a nice place to come to.

Quiet beautifully maintained campground with a dump station, portable water, spigots near restrooms and flush toilets. Firings and picnic tables at each site. Very few sites for rigs over 26’. A few larger sites are offered, but be certain to check what size can be accommodated. Most sites are wide enough to park a 26’ trailer and tow vehicle side-by-side. Some vegetation but not much shade. This is the desert! One beautiful trail about a mile and a half long starts behind campsite number 74.Just minutes from the city of Henderson with all the shopping you could ask for and a short distance but LOTS of traffic to the Las Vegas Strip. Hoover Dam is about 30 mins and Valley of Fire 1.3 hours.

Stayed here for a night to do laundry, shower, etc.  It's your basic RV park in terms of layout and close neighbors, but we were so impressed with how friendly everyone is!  It might be because it's sort of a co-op, and long term residents are part owners.  Overnighters are welcome though.

We paid $27.25 total with our Passport America discount, so roughly double that without the discount.

Showers were very clean, facilities looked like they'd been recently remodeled.

Laundry was nice and cheap and dryers worked well.  $1/wash and $1.50/dry.

Lots of activities and community events going on here.  Residents seem really happy to be here and were very welcoming even to short timers like us.  There's even a host who stopped by our RV to welcome us and gave us a ton of information and literature about things to do in town and the surrounding area.

The pool is beautiful, and there's a really lovely small walking garden with benches and ponds with huge koi, shaded areas to sit and hang out.

Recycling is available here (but they don't take glass).  

There's a small clean gravel dog run as well.

Propane is also for sale here for $3.75/gal for non members, RV tanks filled on Tuesdays only.  There's also a cylinder exchange.

They have a dump and potable water fill available for non-guests for $10.

This campground is open September through June and all sites are dry camping. There is a separate area for RVs, trailers, and vans but many camper vans (including ours) were in the tent section. The camper pads in this area are dirt/gravel and not all of them are level but we made it work. Each site has a fire ring, BBQ grill, and picnic table. Some of the sites (but not all) have a covered picnic table and the table is located on a cement pad. 

There are more than sufficient vault toilets sprinkled throughout the campground and all the ones we used were clean. No showers. No dump station.

The hosts were great – they are from Minnesota, and it is their third year at this campground. They made daily rounds and were very friendly. 

This campground is located just outside the park and therefore not subject to the park fees. You will need a timed entry for the 13-mile scenic drive from October through May (but if you enter before 8 am, you will not need it). We had only a fleeting one bar of Verizon cell service. Make sure you make reservations as the campground was full on a Monday night in mid-November.
