    Callville Bay RV Park — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    Great fishing place with nice marina

    We have camped her many times but particularly enjoy this marina over any others on the lake. Campsites have tables fire pits and they have nice clean showers. Not too far from Las Vegas if you need to run in for more supplies otherwise the marina has all the basic necessities. Nice boat ramp although since the lake is lower than it use to be it can be a long walk to park your car after you put your boat in the water. The stars at night are very bright.

    Desert Pass Campground

    Nice and Remote

    First things first, the road out to the site can be a little rough. We made it out with a Subaru Outback Wilderness with no issues, so as long as you have AWD or 4WD, and decent ground clearance, you shouldn’t have any issues. The sites were clean and decently spaced apart. In March, temps dropped to below freezing, but we were spared the bugs so at least there was that. There is no running water, cellular service, or firewood, so come prepared. The surrounding area was beautiful and there were plenty of stars at night, although I’m pretty sure you still get some light pollution from Las Vegas. All things considered, I would definitely come back.

    Lakeside Casino & RV Resort

    Oasis in the desert!

    We spent a month at this lovely campground. The amenities are awesome with a small lake in the middle of the park. Our dog loved walking around the lake and spending time in the dog run. There's a cafe in the casino with daily specials. The convenience store and gas station on site are a plus as well. The sites are all FHU concrete pads with gravel parking. Very level sites that give you more yard than most campgrounds. The wifi is slow so bring a hotspot of your own for speed.. Seeing a hot air balloon pass over the campground on a sunny morning is a sight to behold. So much to do in a town only 40 miles from Las Vegas. Will stay here again if in the area.

    Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    Great campground close to LV

    Love 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.

    Desert Pass Campground

    25 Miles away...But a world of difference

    If 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!

    Mahogany Grove

    Ranger Review: MuckBoots Fieldblazer Boots at Mahogany Grove, Mt. Charleston Campground

    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.

    Hilltop

    Great way to get out of Las Vegas

    Love this campground to escape the Las Vegas heat in the summer. Camp is clean and has many first come first serve as well as reservation sites. Porta potties only, but kept clean. The sites near the front of the campground have a great overlook view.


Guide to Las Vegas

Las Vegas Bay Campground serves as a desert oasis just 20 minutes from Las Vegas with temperatures typically 20-30 degrees cooler at nearby mountain locations. Most glamping spots and established campgrounds in the area sit at elevations between 2,000-8,000 feet, creating distinct climate zones that affect camping conditions throughout the year. Access roads to higher elevation sites often require vehicles with good ground clearance.

What to do

Explore the trails: Near Desert Pass Campground, campers can enjoy hiking in cooler temperatures. "If 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," explains Ryan F.

Wildlife viewing: The Las Vegas Bay area offers excellent wildlife spotting opportunities. "We 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," notes Bonnie C.

Bird watching: For bird enthusiasts, Lakeside Casino & RV Resort provides excellent opportunities. "If you're a bird watcher, this is a great spot to do it," explains Michele H. The resort features a small lake that attracts various bird species, making it a surprising desert destination for wildlife observation.

What campers like

Temperature relief: Visitors appreciate Hilltop Campground for its cooling effects. "Hilltop 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," shares Christina S.

Panoramic views: Certain sites offer exceptional valley views. "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," according to Denny B.

Clean facilities: Campers value the maintained restrooms at many locations. "The sites are very clean and level and the views are incredible. Plenty of shade trees to string a hammock," reports Logan R., though he advises bringing your own water or filling up at nearby locations.

What you should know

Water availability: Most glamping close to Las Vegas, Nevada requires water planning. At Las Vegas Bay Campground, "Portable water is available. Sites are well developed," notes Bonnie C. However, many campgrounds have limited water.

Road conditions: Higher elevation sites often require appropriate vehicles. "The roads were passable with a hearty 2wd truck/SUV, but 4wd is recommended. You will NOT get to this campground in a car. You need ground clearance to make it up the rough roads," explains Daniel G. about Desert Pass Campground.

Weather variation: Temperatures fluctuate dramatically based on elevation and season. "We stayed in late March which was a great time to stay. Low 70s during the day and maybe 50 at the coldest part of the night," shares Trevor J. about Las Vegas Bay Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Choose sites with amenities: Mahogany Grove offers excellent group facilities. "Newly rehabbed with six beautiful sites. Handicap accessible, large concrete gathering areas, concrete benches, fire pits, clean restrooms, water on taps, lots of asphalt parking," describes Colette K.

Be prepared for insects: Some areas have significant bug populations. "We got eaten alive!! It's a beautiful area and the nights were beautiful but never again. Its definitely just for a day trip to getaway from the heat for a few hours," warns Niki S. about Desert Pass Campground.

Consider noise levels: Some campgrounds experience noise issues. "Our site - and I assume most - were dirt/sand mix that made for easy tent set up. But don't count on getting your stakes into the ground. There were a lot of small rocks around the site - obviously used by many campers to 'stake out' the tent with," explains Amy G.

Tips from RVers

Length restrictions matter: Kyle Canyon Campground accommodates larger vehicles but with considerations. "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," explains Colette K.

Site selection for larger vehicles: For large RVs, choose campgrounds accordingly. "Sites are small. RVs larger than 31 ft will have a hard time fitting. This is dry camp only. No hookups or dump station," advises Bonnie C. about Las Vegas Bay Campground.

Hookup availability: Many sites lack utility hookups. "Would not recommend pulling a trailer around this site, there are two extremely tight turns. All tent campers except for one pop up pull trailer that was about 10 feet long," notes T K. about Hilltop Campground.
