Glamping Adventures— the name itself evokes images of luxury and customer-centric experiences. However, my recent interaction with this company has shattered any illusion of professionalism or integrity they might claim to possess. I booked a glamping experience with Glamping Adventures, enticed by their promises of unique stays and excellent customer service. Little did I know, this would be the beginning of a frustrating and deceitful ordeal. Initially, everything seemed promising. I made a reservation well in advance, excitedly anticipating a getaway that never materialized. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cancel my reservation and was assured by Glamping Adventures that I would receive an almost full refund if they managed to find a replacement guest. Nef stated he was, indded, able to find a gust to take my spot. Here's where the nightmare began. What followed was outright negligence and disrespect for a paying customer. My subsequent emails were met with radio silence. It seemed as though Glamping Adventures had conveniently chosen to disappear rather than fulfill their promise or even communicate honestly. I have kept meticulous records of every interaction— emails detailing their refund policy, promises made and subsequently broken, and the growing frustration with their blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. These records serve as irrefutable evidence of Glamping Adventures' unprofessionalism and lack of respect for their customers. In conclusion, if you value your time, money, and sanity, steer clear of Glamping Adventures. Their enticing promises of a luxurious outdoor experience are nothing but a façade for poor business practices and outright dishonesty. The charm of glamping is tarnished when the company behind it fails to uphold basic standards of customer service and transparency. I urge potential customers to learn from my unfortunate experience and choose a reputable company that values its patrons. Glamping Adventures has lost not only a customer but any semblance of credibility they might have once had.

Enormous group campground. Went for a family gathering. Lots of shade from the gnarly pine trees growing all over the campground. Plenty of spots to hang a hammock or put a tent. Lots of already built seating in the form of stone benches.
Vault toilets were decently clean. Water is usually available but was not when I was there. Fires were also forbidden when I was there as there because of wildfire fears.
Very close to the Mt Charleston North Loop Trail. Since I was with family I did not attempt it (it’s 10+ miles long), but we did go hike at nearby Robber’s Roost which is easy. I have done the North Loop in the past, and the Rain Tree is definitely worth seeing if you can make the hike.
Gear Review: This contains a review of MuckBoots Fieldblazer boots, which were provided to me free of charge***
I was extremely excited to win a MuckBoots giftcard from The Dyrt in the June contest for Nevada. After intense deliberation, I decided to go with the Muck Fieldblazer. Although I don’t hunt, I do stomp around in the woods near my grandmother’s in Placerville California. I have also experienced miserable wet and muddy days camping at Mt. Charleston while my socks are wet from the rain. I’ve had a few chances to test the water resistance when it rained here in Las Vegas last July. They handled the above the ankle deep running water wonderfully and kept my socks dry.
After establishing their waterproof credentials, I decided to give their wearability a try on the Robber’s Roost trail, which is about short hike up to a cave, about a mile round trip. I didn’t get any blisters, and though they were somewhat tight on my calves it didn’t cause any issues.
Overall they were excellent waterproof general use boots. Because of their size I wouldn’t take them on extended backpacking trips, but for hikes and tromping around in muddy or wet environments they are perfect.

Hello 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.

Of the campgrounds I checked out in this area I found this one to be one of the nicer ones. Unlike some which had a lot of random garbage this one was well maintained and looked like those who stayed respected the area more.
Sites here were smaller than most but since I stay in a tent of course I had plenty space for my car and tent alike without struggle. I do not see this working well for longer rigs though that need a pull through that is much longer.
I had plenty of space between me and my neighbor and with some low level brush it stopped any of the brash winds from effecting me at night. I had a picnic table and fire ring, standard to most camping sites and that made for a perfect set up for me as I don't really need all that extra most of the time.
The weather was nice other than the wind when I was there so I didn't have any reason to need to plug anything in to keep cool but I do know I wouldn't even attempt to stay here after late May it just gets way to hot. Not to mention they do have a lot of snakes in this area when the heat gets to that point, so no thanks!
The night was quiet, I had read that there were a lot of coyotes but I heard none in the area instead only the sounds of someones RV making a humming noise a few sites over.
The bathrooms were well kept and there was water scattered throughout the campground which made it easy to access. My only complaint in regard to either of these was that the bathrooms did maybe need a bit of restock, but since I am always prepared that wasn't an issue. I would suggest also always being prepared!
TIPS:
LegendThe best parts of this campground is that there is cell service, restrooms, and an RV dump station. It's a very dry and sad campground, with no view of the lake as it has receded too far with the low lake levels. It used to be a convenient place to camp close to the Las Vegas Bay Marina. The marina is now closed to docking, but there is dry storage for watercraft. There are also day use facilities: Shaded picnic areas and public restroom. For a campground that doesn't remind you of a ghost town, try Boulder Beach Campground, just south of here.
GuideLove this campground. Easy access from Las Vegas, but feels a world away. Lots of big trees and bushes make the campground feel like an oasis. I’ve come out here on holiday weekends and was always able to find a site. Many of them have great views. The sites over looking the wash allow you to hear a river while you sleep! At night I’ve always heard coyotes and owls. Access to Lake Mead is a 15 minute drive away. Restrooms are flush facilities and clean.
TravelerGreat views and good hikes! I had a blast!
GuideWe love camping at Las Vegas Bay campground at Lake Mead. 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. This is dry camp only. No hookups or dump station. Portable water is available. Sites are well developed.
TravelerThis is by far the best national Park campground we have stayed at. They have planted lots of trees in the campground for shade in the middle of the desert. So from the highway you come in at, it looks like a little oasis in the middle of the desert. We arrived on Wednesday and had about 3/4 of the campground to choose from. There were fire rings, picnic tables, and a trash dumpster, plus clean restrooms. There is a dump station and also fresh water to fill your freshwater tank. No hook ups, so bring everything you need. Highly recommended!
TravelerFree dump station and potable water. Dispersed spaces asphalt pads, concrete picnic tables, fire rings and gorgeous views. What more can we ask? It’s quiet except for the birds. Quail are everywhere. Close to the water and it’s peacefully quiet.
Legendit's a little way to the water but it's central for all your exploring needs.
Clean bathrooms and paved roads perfect for bike riding.
oleanders trees separate your neighbors
each spot has tables and fire rings.
nice size spots for you to park at.
boulder beach is about a 15-minute drive from here and government wash is about 20.
lake las vegas is about 10 minutes
the strip is about 30 mins
lost to explore for sure
if you don't have a nation rec pass be ready to pay to get in.
GuideThere are bathrooms with toilets and sinks. The sites are a little close together but the views on the outside sites facing the water are incredible. Spectacular views of the stream. The campground host is also very nice. There are trails at one of the campground that are fun to walk.
I saw a coyote in the campground one morning but he ran away when I stood up. The last time I camped here, someone had a dog that they didn't leash and he kept running into my campground so that was annoying because my dog is afraid of other dogs and we ended up not staying the night because of that.
ScoutGreat campground, each campsite had a table and grill. Bathrooms were clean.
GuideThe sites are a first come first served basis. There are paved parking pads, concrete table, bbq grill, and fire rings at each site. View of a canyon stream, some coyotes heard at night. There is a restroom with flushable toilets that are clean. There is a free dump station. Rates are $20 per night, $10 for senior or access pass holders.
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.
TravelerGreat experience. I arrived late at night and was still able to check in with a pay stub. Even though it’s mid/late November the weather was great! Just take a cool weather sleeping bag and you’ll be good.
This campground is reservable 15 days in advance, but if you missed that deadline, there is first come-first serve camping as well. There were many spots open when I came. When you get here, scout for a spot, remember your site number and license plate info, and then go back to pay at the pay stub center (at the entrance of the campground).
Its $20 a night to camp here. BRING CASH! :)
No showers, just bathrooms.
GuideThis campground is very quite but seems to have smaller sites than others. When entering there are few spots to accommodate bigger trailers although some spots you can see where the site has been extended into the dirt. I like the no generator section as it is super quite at night. Quite time starts at 10pm in other sections.
ScoutWe stayed here 30 days at half price because we have a senior park pass.
GuideQuiet beautifully maintained campground with a dump station, portable water, spigots near restrooms and flush toilets. Firings and picnic tables at each site. Very few sites for rigs over 26’. A few larger sites are offered, but be certain to check what size can be accommodated. Most sites are wide enough to park a 26’ trailer and tow vehicle side-by-side. Some vegetation but not much shade. This is the desert! One beautiful trail about a mile and a half long starts behind campsite number 74.Just minutes from the city of Henderson with all the shopping you could ask for and a short distance but LOTS of traffic to the Las Vegas Strip. Hoover Dam is about 30 mins and Valley of Fire 1.3 hours.
GuideWell the Camphost Bob is amazing. 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 and then there was the one bad one that was supposedly passing through that went to jail. Just be mindful of your area and belongings.

CAMPING HAS BEEN RESTORED HERE!! …Once upon a time, this area WAS a campground; however, in 2015 it was converted to Day Use only due to flash flooding that occurs in heavy rains. In June 2019, we confirmed that camping has returned! USDA Forest Service website info has not been updated yet, but the new sign posted at the campground confirms that camping overnight is allowed. (This campground is also not included with the collection of campgrounds found on Rec.gov.) The new sign states that sites are recommended for RV use only. That's because when the campground was converted to day use, they removed the tent pads, but you certainly can find a site that will accommodate a tent. The host said some sites were supposed to be left for day use only, but campers are taking all the sites (27), and no one is enforcing it either way. All sites are first come, first serve, with a picnic table, grill, fire ring, but no shade structures. Restrooms, water on tap, and concrete benches are scattered throughout. $12 Mon-Thurs; $18 Fri-Sun & Holidays. Campground is located close to the main Kyle Canyon Rd, so noise can be an issue, but wear earplugs and enjoy the pine trees anyway! This is great news for the Mt Charleston recreation area, as this camping location has been very missed.
LegendCurrently, it’s a perfect time to come check out MNT. Charleston, ’s not crowded and the weather is perfect. This area is day-use only as of right now. The rangers are not sure when it will Be open for the camping season but this is also a campground not just day use so make sure you check that it’s open for camping. It’s all first come first serve and it’s the cheapest place on the mountain when it is open for camping. The ranger said April or may they will open but not sure on a date yet. 12 during the week and 18-weekend prices. If you have a big spot I recommend the double spots, all spots are great for RVs no hook-ups but they have tables, grills, and fire rings. Super nice camp host bob who is there and super helpful. Keep enjoying nature and taking care of her along the way! Cheers… oh one more thing your about a hundred feet from the main road. So try to pick your spot closest to the mountain.
Here are my star ratings based on my lifestyle and what I like. I'm also a mother, dog mama, and a wife so it's not just me it's my crew and i. 1 star- AUTOMATIC relocate… the property is no longer there, trashed or/and I could never have my children there and I wouldn't ever think about staying no matter what. 2 star- Not really my jam, and would NEVER go to again… It probably more of desert life and not really my style for sure…Being from Vegas I can't stand being in the desert and I 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… but I would go again and feel safe having my kiddos here but only if I needed to in a pinch. 4 star- a really good rating for sure, maybe needed some improvements, minor things like being on top of each other, not a lot of privacy, but honestly little cosmetic things that aren't anything to sweat and would be back again for sure. 5 star- MY FAVORITE… love the location, safety, the surroundings, big camp spots available to fit toys for my kids to play, hammocks to hang, our big family tent, cases of firewood, our suburban or RV, etcccccc….. I would not only come back but would live if I could!!! Anyway thanks for reading and enjoy every moment like it's your last! CHEERS!

Easy to get to, expect some lighting & some rain. There's a Target & aWal-Mart 25 min away from the campground. Restrooms but no showers
TravelerHilltop 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. Gets full early.
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.
RangerBring water and don’t expect to use the bathroom. The bathrooms were locked and they didn’t have water. But it was a wonderful view and a nice adventure.
GuideWonderful campgrounds, dry bring your own water (thats only reason its not a 5 star review) plus side to that is keeps crowds away!
