"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."

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.
LegendReally a nice campground, nice big spots, tables and a fire pit as well as a laundry room and did I mention clean bathrooms!!! oleander trees space out each camp spot which give you all the privacy anyone could need. Perfect place to ride bikes and it’s a good walking distance to the pier with restaurant, grocery store, fishing and boat rentals. This is like a village in its own. Great area for sure and it’s the perfect time now before it’s to hot.
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
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.
LegendWe landed in Vegas and headed straight out of the city to this campground. I booked it online, not ever having seen it in person, but I'd stay again in an instant.
We had site 23 - very shaded and "green" - site 24 (not ours) was very open to the desert.
There is a no generator section meant for tents, but we didn't stay there as it seemed fully booked so I picked an RV/tent site at the far end. And it was lovely. 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. A short walk to the bathroom (hundred yards maybe?) but they were clean and the toilets were the flush kind, not pit kind. Drinking water was available too. There were fire pits at each site and a picnic table. Our site - and I assume most - were dirt/sand mix that made for easy tent set up. But don't count on getting your stakes into the ground. There were a lot of small rocks around the site - obviously used by many campers to "stake out" the tent with. We did so as well.
The campground as a whole was a short drive off the main road, but very easy to get to.
Absolutely I'd stay here again.
LegendThis campsite is about 10 miles from the Boulder Campground and RV Village. All sites has prefect views of the surrounding mountains. All sites that are situated on the outer rim of the campground, be weary. Most have a good steep decline not to far away from the pavement. I would just be a little careful with kids or dogs. One section does not allow generators. They do have an on site dump station for rigs. No hookups though.
GuideI was looking for a remote Cove to set up for a couple nights on Lake Mead and found this little gem off the beaten path but still accessible on a rugged and steeply graded access road. There is a sign at the entrance of Mead-Davis Powerline Rd road that says 4x4 recommended... Take this to heart.
(We came down from north of the cove off of Princess Cove Rd. There is also access from the south off of the same Princess Cove Rd. We didn't see that route driving in at night... Probably try that next time.)
This Cove is sheltered from wind by trees and tall grass. A small peninsula also blocks direct site from the water so this is a very private site.
The water is the clearest I've ever seen and the water fowl dive freely along the banks. There is a treasure trove of wildlife here apparent just from the birds singing. It was a cacophony of songbirds just before the sun went down over the mountains over the water to the west, Nevada's coastline to the Colorado River fed Lake. There are also Gila monsters, tortoise, mules and many more creatures that come visit the water-side.
It was refreshing rinsing off in the crisp, clear water! Bring water shoes as most of the coastline is rocky.
Do not leave food out and also there are no glass containers allowed at this location! Respect your wildlife community and those enforcing the sustainable practices. Shout out to the upstanding rangers working this area! Thanks for watching over us and the respectful reminders.
Boulder City camping areas range from 1,500 to 6,000 feet elevation, creating diverse temperature zones that impact camping comfort throughout the seasons. The surrounding Mojave Desert features rugged mountain terrain interspersed with desert scrub vegetation and occasional dense pine stands at higher elevations. Most campgrounds near Boulder City experience summer daytime temperatures exceeding 100°F while winter nights can drop below freezing at higher elevations.
Hiking near water washes: Las Vegas Bay Campground has hiking trails that follow desert washes. "The campground is very close to the wash that comes from Lake Las Vegas. Lots of wildlife! Sites are small. RVs larger than 31 ft will have a hard time fitting," notes Bonnie C.
Desert overlook trails: At Mahogany Grove, you can access the Desert Overlook Trail. "This campground is close to the wonderful Desert Overlook Trail," shares T K. This trail offers expansive views of the surrounding desert landscape.
Kayaking quiet coves: Arrowhead Cove provides secluded water access. "Total privacy at this hidden beach on Lake Mead... perhaps in the summer as you're surrounded by that crystal clear water," reports Charlie C. The sheltered cove protects kayakers from wind and waves.
Desert wildlife viewing: The desert ecosystem supports diverse wildlife. "We hear coyotes and owls at night. There are quail everywhere," shares Robin P. about Las Vegas Bay Campground.
Temperature escape: Hilltop Campground provides relief from summer heat. "Hilltop 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," explains Christina S.
Clean facilities: Visitors appreciate the maintained bathrooms. "Restrooms, water on tap, and concrete benches are scattered throughout," notes Colette K. about Kyle Canyon Campground. "Flushing toilets and running water in the bathroom was nice. Beautiful sunset views, and the hills block all signs of civilization," adds Trevor J.
Water availability varies: Not all campgrounds have water. "Bring water and don't expect to use the bathroom. The bathrooms were locked and they didn't have water," Jennifer L. cautions about Hilltop Campground.
Fire restrictions: Fire rules change seasonally. "No fires allowed when I was there because of wildfire fears," explains a camper at Mahogany Grove. Check current restrictions before your trip.
Security considerations: Some campgrounds have mixed reviews regarding safety. "1/2 of the campers are folks passing through and either keep to themselves or are kind. 1/4 are homeless from Vegas, that kept to themselves," shares Imerie T. about Las Vegas Bay Campground.
Road conditions: Some areas require appropriate vehicles. "There is a sign at the entrance of Mead-Davis Powerline Rd that says 4x4 recommended... Take this to heart," warns Lyle F. about accessing Arrowhead Cove.
Yurt camping options: Boulder City's nearby yurt accommodations provide family-friendly alternatives to tent camping. While traditional yurts are available, Glamping Adventures LV offers distinctive yurt-style structures with conveniences families appreciate.
Camp host assistance: Helpful camp hosts enhance the family camping experience. "Well the Camphost Bob is amazing," reports Imerie T. about Las Vegas Bay Campground. Camp hosts can provide local information and assistance.
Level sites: Families appreciate sites that accommodate easy tent setup. "The sites are very clean and level and the views are incredible. Plenty of shade trees to string a hammock," Logan R. notes about Hilltop Campground.
Kid-friendly wildlife: Children enjoy spotting desert animals. "Quail are everywhere. Close to the water and it's peacefully quiet," mentions Robin P. about Las Vegas Bay Campground. Morning and evening hours provide the best wildlife viewing opportunities.
Length restrictions: Many sites cannot accommodate larger RVs. "We have site 23 - very shaded and 'green' - site 24 (not ours) was very open to the desert," shares Amy G. about Las Vegas Bay Campground.
Dump station access: Callville Bay RV Park provides convenient services. "Cost for RV as of Feb 2022 was only $29.38 for full hookups. Only about 9-10 sites are available for RVs and reservations are required," explains Greg L. This makes it a good stop for emptying tanks before or after dry camping elsewhere.
Site selection strategy: Choose sites away from roads for quieter camping. "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," explains Denny B. about Hilltop Campground.
