"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"
"Here’s a breakdown of the hike: 17 miles | 11,916 ft elevation | 8,241 ft prominence | Highest peak in Southern Nevada | 8th most prominent mountain in the U.S. | Most prominent mountain in Nevada."
"Charleston is always the go-to during summer, as it’s 20 degrees cooler than it’s surrounding area."
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.
LegendStarted staying here when KOA decided to only cater to peeps with a lot of $. Overall a very nice place with choices of very tight spots to very spacious sites depending on what you want to pay. Pool was being rebuilt when I was there so tough to give a 5 star in the desert w/o a pool.
ScoutStayed here for a few days before heading to Zion. Great location with all the hook-up’s. We stayed near the laundry and shower/bathroom station and initially concerned about foot traffic but had very little. The place is kept clean and the pool was great, especially to cool down to beat the Las Vegas heat. I would definitely recommend.
GuideJust make sure the locks on your rig are working and don’t leave anything out that you want to hang onto. Price is reasonable for Vegas and the proximity to Fremont is nice but it is definitely sketchy. Check in is at the Main Street Hotel and the staff and security are all super friendly and helpful but downtown Vegas is downtown Vegas so just be aware.
GuideThere were some nice spots. we enjoyed our 2 nights there. Beautiful forest area.
GuideJust a big asphalt lot. There is a small pool and pet relief area.
TravelerNeeded a place to best the heat while passing through Vegas, was a good 20 degrees cooler . Pretty busy area with alot of campers who may live there. If you have 4x4 and some clearance you can offroad to some pretty interesting spots up the mountain. All in all a quiet and cool night.
GuideYou'd think that being nestled in the Red Rock canyon area the views from here would be amazing. Maybe they are in one or two spots, but nothing of the sort in the RV area.
I choose the RV spots since they seemed the furthest from what is a dense camping area; made to feel more so since there are no trees or anything to block the views of your neighbors 15 feet away. To call these RV spaces would be a stretch. It was a gravel parking lot with picnic tables and a few fire pits. And again, with no views at all since it's in a bit of a bowl shaped recess.
No cellular service until you get a mile closer to the highway, so be prepared to go off line.
I will compliment the bathroom as being adequate.
No host on site. That didn't matter to us.
Conditions in the region change fast and can be extreme. Be prepared.
The access to mountain bike trails was nice, even though we had to cross into some disallowed spaces to access them.
GuideStayed here many times in the past several months worth of dates spread over 2005-2007, 2013, 2018, and 2025. Nice upgrades since my first stays including the shaded structure spots.
This place is clean, a bit noisy, and very busy (busy-ness, loudness, light pollution are my reasons for only 3 stars).
I don’t remember hearing the gun range in the past but heard it each time I stayed recently (8 nights Mar-May 2025).
Typically booked but have been able to find a spot that was unoccupied (but reserved by someone else) by coming in late night/early morning; 5/5 on that this season.
