    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.

    Lovell Canyon Dispersed Camping (Spring Mountain)

    Several campsites demarcated by vegetation, very pleasant and lots of possibilities

    We arrived before sunset, full of small spots along the road, which allows everyone to have their own space surrounded by vegetation. We have a van, it is easy to leave the main concrete road to enter the pitches, some are bumpier than others. The sites I saw were clean with leftover campfire pits. I recommend this spot, it is specific to Death Valley and located 30 minutes from Red Rock or 1 hour from Las Vegas. For the night of May 2, no problem with the wind, very good weather conditions

    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.

    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.

    McWilliams Campground

    Newly rehabbed & beautiful

    Recently re-opened (Summer 2015), with all new blacktop driveways, concrete picnic/patio areas, very nice fire pits, handicap accessible, newly updated bathrooms (when open), tall old pine trees, and lots of fresh air! Summer 2016 had some challenges with fire restrictions and water shortages, with eventual closure for most of July & Aug. So before you go, check www.reserveamerica.com for alerts & current news. Less than 1 hour from Las Vegas, and a GREAT way to beat the heat!

    Willow Beach Rv Park — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    Dusty and rocky, BUT...

    This campground has some solid facilities. Between access to a bathroom, shower, and a nearby dock that serves food, what more do you need in the area? We even had access to WiFi! Good for a stargazing app I was using. It’s not far from Las Vegas either of you’re wanting a short getaway from the city.

    The campgrounds are on the edge of what feels more like an R/V site, and each of the sites are a bit close to one another so don’t expect to have the place “to yourself.” Now, what this spot really has that is great is easy access to a nearby dock that rents everything from paddle boards to boats. Get a kayak and head over to Emerald Cove up river for a short distance for a very cool experience. Reservations are thought to get so do it in advance.

    Atlatl Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park

    Truly a experience!!

    If you like camping this is a must go to spot. Landscape is unlike any other, millions of years of erosion to create a breathtaking environment. They have both tent sites and RV sites. It does cost but there’s a self kiosk you can pay at. You can’t go wrong with any spot to camp at but the one’s towards the back were better in my opinion. They do have three spots in the back that are tents only that are pretty sweet spots. But overall it was a experience I will never forget and I will definitely be returning multiple times, especially since it’s only an hour away from Las Vegas. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
