RV parks near Sloan, Nevada serve as convenient stopping points within 15-30 miles of the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Located at approximately 2,000 feet elevation, this region experiences desert climate conditions with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F between June and September. Most campgrounds maintain full hookup capability year-round, though availability tightens during major Las Vegas conventions and holiday weekends.
What to Do
Day trips to Hoover Dam: Lake Mead RV Village offers convenient access just a short drive away. "It was only 7 minutes to the hover dam and 5 minutes into Boulder City," notes Chris H., while another camper mentioned, "We stopped here on the way to Utah and scored a 'lakefront' spot."
Casino entertainment: Many RV parks provide direct casino access. At Arizona Charlie's Boulder RV Park, "You do have access to all the amenities of the casino itself when staying here, that is a nice addition to your stay," according to one reviewer. Another camper added, "Guests may use hotel amenities including pool."
Swimming options: Several parks maintain pools for cooling off. At Desert Sands RV Resort, a visitor appreciated that "The clubhouse is cozy, the laundry facility clean and the machines new, and the pool deck has a great patio area."
What Campers Like
Security features: Safety measures vary between properties. Las Vegas RV Resort "is gated with a person at the gate 24/7" according to Andrew W., while another reviewer noted, "Friendly staff, they help you park from the gate with a golf cart, super clean facility."
Pet accommodations: Many parks include designated areas for pets. Timothy T. appreciated that Las Vegas RV Resort has "Multiple dog areas, including a large, multi-run area." Similarly, at Thousand Trails Las Vegas, "Dog park is half grass and half dirt."
Convenience to attractions: Location remains a key advantage for most properties. "It's a 30 minute walk to the Strip, you even have a pool (which is very nice when it's that hot)," notes Helen L. about Circus Circus RV Park. Another camper found it "Very easy to explore Vegas while having your own home away from home."
What You Should Know
Site spacing varies significantly: Some parks offer more room than others. At Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort, "Hard to see numbers after dark so make sure you have your map and know the street names to turn on," but spaces are "large sites with full hookups and concrete pads for easy level setup."
Neighborhood considerations: Location impacts safety in certain areas. "This isn't the best part of town so make sure you lock up," cautions one reviewer about Road Runner RV Park. Similarly, another notes, "Don't the area and entrance deter you, just know that the location you are in overall is not the greatest in Vegas."
Age restrictions: Not all parks welcome families with children. Las Vegas RV Resort is "Not family friendly at all!! You must be 18 or older to come here so it's cool for people without kids or families," according to one camper.
Tips for Camping with Families
Pool access requirements: Check ahead about pool availability. At Circus Circus RV Park, "The splash pad was actually not bad, and you get in without a fee. It was the only saving grace against the heat, and the pools were right next to the RV parking."
Entertainment options: Some parks offer more recreational facilities than others. At King's Row RV Park, "This is a park in which most of the people live at," so one reviewer cautions, "Make sure to have plans or stuff for the kids to do."
Noise considerations: Aircraft traffic affects some locations. "Sleeping in can be difficult though, after 7am expect to hear planes, helicopters or jets starting to take off," notes one reviewer about the military facility, while another mentioned "Frequent airplanes" at another park.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Prepare for varying site conditions. One camper at Thousand Trails noted, "The spots are gravel and ours was very hard to get level in even with auto level... we had SO many leveling blocks under the back."
Utility placements: Hookups aren't always conveniently positioned. "The utilities were spaced a bit far from the site and towards the back so I needed about 22' of sewer hose and 25' of electric and water hose," according to a Lake Mead RV Village visitor.
Shade availability: Most parks offer limited natural cover. "There is no shade. The sun was beating down, even at night it was 90+," reports one camper about Circus Circus RV Park, while another mentioned that Desert Sands is "hotter during summer because the place has no shade or grass, all cement."
