Best Campgrounds near Mount Charleston, NV

We stayed at The Wild Mustang in our van and had such a great experience. After checking in with the host, we got permission to pull our van over the berm and onto the property—and it was perfect. It had amazing views and total privacy. You really feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, in the best way.

The host was kind and responsive. The sunsets were gorgeous, and at night the stars lit up the sky—some of the clearest you will ever see. There’s a really peaceful, raw desert vibe here that made it easy to just slow down, unplug, and relax.

It’s easy to get to, but still feels remote once you're there. We’ll definitely be back next year!

It is really next to the Strip, all Spots are Full Hookup, to enter the RV Park at First you need to Call the Frontdesk, there is a Phone next to Gate which connects you to the Front Desk. There is no Laundrymachine in the RV Park, even though it is written on their website. They have an external Laundryservict the hotel Circus Circus, they couldnt tell me what the costs are for the laundry. And there is no Wifi available in the RV Park.

Great welcome, Nice host great spot

I’m not sure what a “good” campsite honestly entails. I can say, bathrooms stay relatively clean, but good luck getting paper towels, lol if you don’t have insurance don’t even try, $2.00 a load for laundry, staff is helpful and friendly. Propane is okay

As you get farther into the canyon, it got bumper and I got stuck once but once you got in, it was beautiful as you go farther you’ll see water and sun. Sometimes you can go down there with a bathing suit if it’s hot enough and you can swim in those little ponds it is beautiful and those little ponds. 

Clean amenities, safe camp, good internet and phone reception, I plan on staying again in the future

Friendly good staff. Laundry and bathroom are clean. Lots of good green space for tents. RV sites are adequate with good water and power. Decent restaurant in town.

I am giving it low rating because the manager is a liar. She said my cat will be allowed outside but on the day of signing the lease and moving in, she wrote down on the lease that the cat is not permitted outside of the RV. Of course, I refused to move in. She waisted my time and money. There are few spaces that are shaded and these are taken, the rest are treeless. The spaces are small. No swimming pool. I was told the Wifi is sketchy. The neighborhood is also sketchy.

We decided to stay outside Vegas this time and I'm so glad we did. This place is so nice and quiet. Also there are hiking trails galore here. I'll definitely be adding this to the list of revisits.

This is a private RV park open only to Escapees members. Now that they’ve merged with Harvest Hosts, that membership will get you in as well. I stayed in the Boondocking section so this review will be about that. They have 18 FCFS sites with no hookups or amenities. Members get their first night free and additional nights are seven dollars. Or you can pay seven dollars like I did on your first night to access the sewer dump and water. It’s essentially just a gravel parking lot up against a fence. You do have a picnic table. Neighbors are very close. It was a great option for me coming off of a week of true Boondocking. Nice hot shower, laundry, dumped my tanks and on my way.

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.

Rough road to access, but accessible with 2wd. Plenty of flat spots. A decent amount of trash laying around. Close to town.

So, this park uses two names it appears.  Shoshone RV Park and Shoshone Village Campground.  It has 35 RV sites, some with 30 and 50 Amp service, along with water and sewer, 7 tent sites, and 2 group sites for tents.  There was a bustle of activity in the park when we arrived, as a tree service was doing a major pruning job on all of the cedar trees.  Although we chose a tucked away site, further away from the road when we booked online, we were reassigned a more 'cozy' site near the road because the tree guys were trimming the trees on the site we had chosen.  A bit of a disappointment, but what are you going to do.  

I think I signed about 6 pages of receipts and affidavits that I understood all of the rules for the park which included:  "No nude bathing or topless".  while using their warm springs swimming pool.  We didn't use the pool, so I can't comment further on that amenity.

We did use the laundry room.  It has 2 washers and 2 dryers.  It looked like it had not been swept in a while.

They give you a key when you arrive that opens all of the park's facilities.  

There is a great pizza cafe and brewer just a few miles south in Tecopa that I can recommend.  There is also a small convenience store/gift store in Shoshone Village that sells gas and fuel.  The price for a gallon of #2 Diesel was $6.09.9.  The store also had a couple of boxes of DEF on the shelf.  We didn't try the sole cafe in Shoshone, the Crossbar.

I might camp here again, but probably not for more than 1 or 2 nights.

34 foot rv no problem getting here and turning around.

A great quiet and peaceful place - a smooth dirt/gravel road that was easy to navigate with a little car.

There were pull off spots, basically individual camp sites for each person. There were others camping, too, including RVs and camper vans. They were nearby but not visible. We drove back in until we came to an empty spot.

Quiet and peaceful all night. Great flat area for setting up the tent. Low cell signal, but consistently available.

The coordinates ended at a t-way. It was not clear where to go or how to get there. Turning left, the off loading was smooth abd accessible but not places to pull off to camp.

One area sat further back from the road, and it looked like there were long-term campers. The road was rough to get to the area and not accessible. There was very little cleared land visible.
