Best Tent Camping near Bunkerville, NV

Not sure why we would go to tent camp at Lake Mead in the middle of summer but we did, and we were not the only ones. It was 110 degrees during the day and 85 degrees at night. Quite miserable honestly. Tent sites were spacious and bathrooms were fairly clean. Ideal time to camp here would most likely be early Spring or late Fall.

Small town, big heart is what comes to mind when I think of Happy Trails. Extremely hospitable hosts, very welcoming, but will respect your space if you’re not feeling chatty. Free coffee in the mornings and clean bathrooms with a shower. I tent camped with 2 dogs, lots of space on the tent sites. Beautiful skies with visible starry nights, scenic Lake Mead is nearby. I would go out of my way to stay here again.

We spent 3 nights at this campsite and it is kept very clean, the amenities are well maintained. There is a beautiful view and very little light polution for star gazing. However if you plan on camping in a tent - the sites are very close to eachother with no visual privacy, the ground is very rocky and the tent pads provided are small (I could not fit my bell tent). The gorge act like a wind tunnel so it is extra windy. 

I would highly recommend this spot for RVs and Travel Trailers but for tents it's not super comfortable.

Stayed here in March when the weather was perfect. They have rv sites and tent camping. I typically pull my rig, but decided on tent camping for this adventure. Midweek there was plenty of sites to choose from. I was able to find a site that was situated between two large boulder areas, so I was completely secluded and had full privacy. The sites are already spaced out, but the extra barrier made me feel like I had the place to myself. The petroglyphs are a short drive or a good walking distance from the campsites. The facilities were clean and water spots throughout sites. Highly recommend camping at this place anytime but summer months, as it can get hot!

We were tent camping in #21 which is a walk-in site and my fav of the three walk sites of this area. Only about a 45 second walk but there are only three campsite on this side of the rocks and it’s quiet. Once spigot for water. Trash cans. 2 mins walk to the bathroom. Tent pad, fire pit, grill, picnic table. It was perfect.

Awesome campground tucked in the river valley directly outside of Veyo and 30 minutes outside of St. George!  Awesome campground for families with many amenities and activities such as pool, climbing, concessions, showers and more.  Drove my Honda Civic in and tent camped for a night while exploring Utah.  Campground manager/host was friendly and accommodating.

Last stop on our Utah adventures and it was perfect. Had to pay to get in and pay for camping that wasn’t fun but it worked out they did have Full hook ups Available here!!! So thankful to dump from our other adventures We also tent camped next to our rig and it was good for everyone. The water was warm and enjoyable.

3.5 really. The park is beautiful and the location of the campground was as well. However, sites 1-14 are basically parking spots. You are really close to your neighbors and have very little privacy. But there are some tent sites with power that are more spread out. We will get one of them next time.

We did the tent sites. Excellent sites, though sites closer to the center of the canyon have zero shade. But well built, with a picnic table and grill, and leveled. Pretty little state park but...one bathroom was broken and the code they gave us for the women's showers didn't work. Very confused young man as my wife exited the man's shower.

Visited today and this campsite is open. The other site Arch Rock is still closed. This area has tent and rv spots, as well as walk in tent sites along the back against the boulders. Very clean campsite and facilities. Many rv sites appeared to be almost perfectly level. Plenty of space between sites and lots of room to easily park a trailer and park your vehicle. Had many pull thrus for those large rigs. Water and electric hookups. Dump site is located at the entrance.

If you stay here stay in an RV . The tent sites are exposed to the elements and you have to pitch your tent on sharp rocks. When we stayed in our RV it was a great experience. The way the campground is set up the rock formations block your views from your neighbors so you feel very secluded. The hikes we so much fun here. We hiked up to fire wave, the elephant, and hiked the prospect trail. Late fall is the perfect time to go so you don't melt.

My second visit to Snow Canyon was just as rewarding as the first one. Gorgeous red rock scenery and impeccable maintenance for this lovely box canyon named after a pair of brothers with a last name of Snow. 

During the second visit in May the weather was perfect for sleeping without the tent fly--- stars overhead.

Showers and bathrooms are first class.

Great tent section but strange RV section though--- looks like urban parking lot. 

Excellent staff.

Tent sites are lovely except for site # 28 which is in a "hole". 

Campground is 25 minutes from St. George.

If you like camping this is a must go to spot. Landscape is unlike any other, millions of years of erosion to create a breathtaking environment. They have both tent sites and RV sites. It does cost but there’s a self kiosk you can pay at. You can’t go wrong with any spot to camp at but the one’s towards the back were better in my opinion. They do have three spots in the back that are tents only that are pretty sweet spots. But overall it was a experience I will never forget and I will definitely be returning multiple times, especially since it’s only an hour away from Las Vegas. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We reserved several nights here, based on the expectation of cell reception and electric. I'm working remotely, so these are must haves. When we got there, we found that there was zero service on either of our carriers, and no WiFi available.

Only the RV sites have power, and the RV sites were pathetically small. They were basically parking spots with tiny shared picnic tables between them. It looked more like a Walmart parking lot than a campsite. Very disappointing.

If you're able to go without power and internet, the tent sites were fairly nice. But if you need either, look elsewhere.

This campground was perfect for us. We stayed for a week while I worked remotely. Although there was very little cell reception, there was good WiFi at a reasonable price. The internet, power, water, and showers (even in December) were all steady. And while I worked, my husband hiked the park. Lots of beautiful trails to explore and rocks to climb (at all levels of difficulty)!

The only criticism I have is that I wish that some of the tent sites offered electric, too. We were just van camping and really didn't need a whole RV spot, but those were the only ones with power.

All in all, a great site!

Nicely kept state park, safe, on outskirts of St. George UT. RV spaces are CLOSE together. Tent sites are better, spacious. Showers in tent area have a pull-chain. From their website: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily Phone: 435-628-2255 Fax: 435-628-9321 Management: Kristen Comella, Park Manager Jesse Henderson, Assistant Manager.  Great red rock/lava flow hiking trail options, most are easy/moderate, nice loop through Snow Canyon and around on mesa and back for road cycling. Great mtn biking in St. George area (including a roller coaster ride on hard packed single track: Bear Claw Poppy and Snake Pit Loop trails. Many other trails in area). Huntsman World Senior Games held 2 to 3 weeks in Oct. in St. George. Traffic in St. George can be heavy at times particularly during typical rush hour times.

There are a couple options for camping in Sand Hollow SP. We stayed at the Westside grounds with FHU. We really enjoyed our stay here as there’s plenty of your own space with neighbors behind and in front rather than side-to-side. Our site was mostly level with a grill (that was closed to use due to fire risk) and a shade structure with a picnic bench. The grounds were very quiet at night during our stay. We stayed in late June and the temps were hot so it was nice to have the lake nearby for swimming, boating, kayaking, etc. Swimmer’s itch is real but only affects a percentage of people. Thankfully, we weren’t affected. We drove to the other side of the lake to find a quiet spot to spend the day. Shade is at a premium, so bring your own. The dispersed tent sites around the lake seem nice and private but please pack out what you pack in. We carried out some garbage strewn at the site where we spent the day. Bathrooms are intermittent and nicely maintained. The lake can get crowded but we found it’s easy enough to find a private spot. The temps were near 100, so we were grateful to have the FHU at our site, though evening temps were very pleasant and we slept with windows open. Can’t wait to return with some shade, rafts and a SUP!

Nice spot right off of I-15. Lots of sites to accommodate both tents and RV’s. If you are a tent camper know that not all the tent pads are the same size. The site I picked had a small pad. Bathrooms are clean and have running water. There are a couple of trail heads located in the camp site that take you down and along the virgin river.

Site #7 at Arch Rock, it's close to the bathroom, has a beautiful (almost private) canyon starting at the site, a shrub next to the tent pad which is fair shade in the afternoon, a covered picnic area and table, and water tap right next to the tent pad.

A great park to visit with my dog, the park allows dogs as long as they are on a leash (6ft max).

Was there in mid october, the day was warm as expected, it cooled off in the evening. You could sleep with windows open and no rain-fly on the tent, in fact, it got a bit too warm overnight sealed up.

The majority of campers were in rv's and amazing vehicles you'd see at the Overland expo. I didn't stay long enough to use the showers, no idea where they even were.

Lots of trails and beautiful places to photograph. I saw a few meteors at night. Bighorn sheep, rabbits, birds and tarantulas were seen.

After taking the Cedar Pocket exit on I-15, I was shocked to see not one other person camped at this huge and very convenient campground tucked in between the walls of the Virgin River Canyon. I realized immediately that it may have been because the canyon was way too windy. At about 3 am the wind became too much and the tent was almost flying out from under our bodies. The sound was so loud that we didn't fall back asleep until 5 am. The campground is very conveniently located off of the highway and is in a beautiful canyon but also very windy if you just have a tent.

A walk-in site with everything you need. Table, tent pad, nearby water, bathroom 1.5 min walk. Showers 3 min walk.

We loved camping here! It provided beautiful sunsets. The sites were nice and facilities were clean and well maintained. Actually the whole park was quite clean and well maintained! Lots of hiking opportunities. Next time we are in Nevada we will be back here!

This area is just east of Mesguite Nevada along Gold Butte Road (old mining road that goes many miles into the NE area of Lake Mead.  No water, power or cell phone connection in most areas.  Must have good tires and high clearance.. many pot holes and hard gravel roads in the area.  The area also has several great petroglyph sites.  Great for ATV or side by sides.. lots of equestrian riders in the area as well.

The campsites don’t offer a whole lot of privacy in the winter months and people let their dogs walk all over. It also smells like poop really bad, I’m assuming from wild donkeys? Also only a few good sites for tents, otherwise you’ll be right by your fire.
