"You can take that heat from Vegas and completely forget you are in Nevada when you travel just outside the city and to McWilliams Campground and Mount Charleston area."
"Really peaceful and walking distance to the Bristlecone trails. Besides an incredibly rude group of people who didn’t understand quiet hours we had a great time!"
$50 / night
"The dirt road takes you far out of the way and away from everything. Some of the sites are situated on the side of mountains so the views (especially at sunset) are breathtaking."
"As we SUV camp (and not 4x4) we didn't head a long way in, but discovered numerous locations that were easy to get to, but still secluded.
Very few cars, and a nice getaway."
"Got up there around 10:30-11:00am on Sunday. “Champion Road” is a decently maintained dirt/gravel road and there are camp sites scattered on both sides, all different shapes and sizes."
"When you pull into the empty turn around and onto the dirt road you could be immediately disarmed."
"Small pieces of trash left behind from other people here and there. Some hikes are located very close to camp as well."
"Lots of open areas with flat grounds for tents and plenty of greenage between other spots and if you have 4 wheel drive you can go pretty much anywhere and find a neat camp spot."
$19 - $67 / night
"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."
"Stayed two nights with a few friends and we had two campsites next to each other."
$33 - $58 / night
"Our first time camping in Nevada, and first time camping for my son. It's only 40 mins away from us. We went there the weekend before my son's school starts as last hurrah."
"Being close to your neighbors can have its positives and negatives, lucky for us it was all upside when we stopped here to check it out in regard to neighbors."
$12 - $80 / night
"Summer time might not be the best time to try to camp in southern Nevada but with mild fall and winter this campsite leaves a lot of options for those looking for an outdoor adventure."
"Great campground really close to Vegas (at night you can see that light beam from the Luxor)."
"They have tables, bathrooms and the location is now McWilliams.
Here are my star ratings based on my lifestyle and what I like."
"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"
"A little tough to set up camp with the desert landscape but perfect off the main road stop away from busy cities to get some rest Shortly off the road in the video By a bunch of ATV/Dirt Bike trails"
TravelerIt’s a 30 minute walk to the Strip, you even have a pool (which is very nice when it’s that hot)
GuideCheck in was easy staff friendly. The spite was level and had FHU. The site was long enough for our MH and tow.
GuideMack’s Canyon Campground is a convenient and easily accessible spot just outside of Las Vegas, making it a popular choice for campers looking for a quick escape from the city.
The sites themselves are quite spacious, which is a big plus if you’re setting up multiple tents or bringing along larger vehicles and gear. That said, campers relying on tents should be prepared for a bit of a challenge. The terrain can be rocky and is almost always uneven, with limited flat ground, so finding a truly level spot for a tent can take some extra effort. It’s definitely doable, but requires some patience and creativity.
Because of the easy access, this campground does see more people than one might desire in a mountain canyon. More people unfortunately more noise—music, vehicle noises and voices tend to carry through the area, amplifying the sound beyond a single campsite.
On top of that, the area seems to attract a fair share of rowdy “hold my beer, watch this” drivers. I noticed some campsites with remnants of donuts, not the edible kind, but the ones left by thrill seeking drivers, which can disrupt the peace and quiet. While there, there were also some drivers driving far faster than what any driver should be on those roads, just be careful!
Overall, Mack’s Canyon offers beautiful mountain surroundings and roomy sites, but comes with trade-offs: less seclusion, more noise, and some challenging terrain for tents. Great for groups or quick getaways, but those seeking solitude and serenity may want to look elsewhere.
GuideIf you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the heat and bustle of Las Vegas, this campsite Desert Pass in the Mormon Pass is the perfect getaway.
Just a short drive away, you’re instantly transported into cooler mountain air surrounded by beautiful pine and juniper trees. The elevation makes a huge difference in temperature—what feels awful and unbearable in the valley becomes a refreshing and comfortable summer retreat here.
The site itself is well-maintained, with clean and convenient pit toilets that make camping much more pleasant for families. The grounds are spacious, with plenty of room to spread out and set up camp comfortably. The trees not only provide shade but also add to the serene, scenic setting. Be smart, bring water, there is NO water available at this location. During the summer months also be cautious of the bees. We had a MASSIVE presence of bees once we brought the water and cups out, they are just as thirsty as you are up there!
Whether you’re relaxing at camp, exploring the trails, or just enjoying the cooler mountain air, this spot offers the kind of quiet and beauty that feels like it’s worlds away, even though it’s only about 25 miles from Las Vegas.
A great location for families, adventurers, or anyone wanting a quick but refreshing reset in nature!

ScoutThis is a PSA for anyone trying to find tent reservations on their website. You wont find it despite the description saying it has them available. I called and spoke to a representative who assured me they do not offer tent sites, RV only.
TravelerWe are loving this place. Everyone has been super friendly. We did check our personal weapons at the armory upon arrival, and the process did take about an hour, but it was painless. Check-in was very quick. Our camp site (37) is nice. we have some trees at the site that do help with this sweltering heat.. Our site is pull through with full hookups. All work well. Easy access. The dog park is nice. There are several on the grounds. Also, walking trails. I would caution about the Cacti with your animals. Watch those paws. Nellis has a great location. I mean if the daily, all day fly overs are not amazing enough, the beautiful views of the Vegas skyline nearby is also wonderful. You are close enough to everything Vegas if you want to partake, but yet if you dont want to , you can ignore it all together. Commissary and base exchange are nice. The base seems to have all you need. Many restraints and box stores right down Craig Road less than a 10 minute drive. Highly recommend! For 30 bucks a night for premium spot. Can't beat it.
