Several cabin rental options exist within driving distance of Mount Charleston, Nevada, providing comfortable accommodations for visitors seeking alternatives to tent camping. Wine Ridge RV Resort in Pahrump offers well-maintained cottages with private shower rooms, organized community activities, and access to pools and pickle-ball courts. According to one visitor, "It's a well-kept, gated community which includes cabins, cottages, pools... and organized community events like bingo, free waffle breakfast a few days per week." Thousand Trails Las Vegas features tiny houses for rent with full hookups, though the resort receives mixed reviews for maintenance and spacing. Delight's Hot Springs Campground provides "small and sparsely decorated cabins" with electricity and nearby water, plus access to hot mineral pools and soaking tubs.

Rustic cabins and specialty accommodations vary in size and amenities throughout the region.

Preferred RV Resort maintains "a few cabin rentals" alongside their RV sites and provides access to community amenities including a pool, hot tub, and activity areas. Prices typically range from $35-100 per night depending on location, amenities, and season.

Most furnished cabins include beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from basic microwaves to full kitchenettes with refrigerators and stovetops. Visitors should check specific amenity lists when booking. Electrical outlets are standard in most cabin rentals, though heating and cooling systems differ by location. The nearest full-service grocery stores are typically found in larger towns like Pahrump (approximately 45 minutes from some locations) or Las Vegas. On-site markets at places like Lakeside Casino & RV Resort provide basic provisions, though selection is limited. Guests planning extended stays in more remote cabin locations should arrive with sufficient food, water, and personal supplies.

    Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    In the desert, but feels cozy somehow

    We landed in Vegas and headed straight out of the city to this campground.  I booked it online, not ever having seen it in person, but I'd stay again in an instant. 

    We had site 23 - very shaded and "green" - site 24 (not ours) was very open to the desert. 

    There is a no generator section meant for tents, but we didn't stay there as it seemed fully booked so I picked an RV/tent site at the far end.  And it was lovely.  The site was in the middle of a turn around, so we were in the "donut center" so to speak and it was quiet, shaded and beautiful.  Lot of palms and oleander that gave a lot of privacy. A short walk to the bathroom (hundred yards maybe?) but they were clean and the toilets were the flush kind, not pit kind. Drinking water was available too. There were fire pits at each site and a picnic table. 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.  We did so as well. 

    The campground as a whole was a short drive off the main road, but very easy to get to. 

    Absolutely I'd stay here again.

    Wonderful!

    Free 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.

    Delight’s Hot Springs Campground

    Low Key Resort with Gorgeous Hot Pools

    This place is not much of a campground, but it makes up for it in being a super cool, chilled out, low key hot spring. The sites are pretty close together like a lot of other RV parks, and there are very few trees, it’s the desert afterall, but the landscape is stunning! 

    There are hiking, biking, and ATV roads just off the property, in addition to a few other locally maintained hot pools, so you can get out and enjoy the desert. There are luxurious and clean indoor private pools that allow groups of 8 or less to soak for 30 minutes, and a large outdoor pool with smaller hot tubs right around the perimeter available 24 hours a day. 

    The resort offers flush toilets and hot showers as well as some pretty slow wifi closer to the office. We had pretty spotty Verizon service in the area but that’s not why you come here. You come to soak, to chill out and get away from all those notifications. And this place allows you to do it. 

    Additionally there are some small and sparsely decorated cabins and guest rooms for folks without an RV or camping gear. All of the sites have electricity and nearby water, but we never need hook ups because our solar panel system works simply and beautifully out in the desert sun, and everywhere else we’ve been. 

    Locally, there isn’t much in the way of food except a local steakhouse, bistro and brewery serving barbeque, we didn’t checkout any of them. We did make a day trip down to China Ranch for some amazing Date Shakes and Mediterranean fare. There’s some great hiking down there as well, and well worth the bike ride or drive. 

    The closest town with all the regular services is Pahrump Nevada, about 45 minutes away.

    Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    The best so far!

    This 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!

    Thousand Trails Las Vegas

    Good park for the city.

    This is a Thousand Trails RV Resort located in the city of Las Vegas. The park is large and the sites are pretty tight. It does fit large rigs, but your neighbors are close, and it is FHU. There are a lot of full-timers at this park. The RV resort is decently maintained and has multiple laundry facilities and restrooms. There is a large heated pool and a nice deck area for relaxing. They have large, fenced dog run that could be cleaner. There is also an office and community room where there is live music and other entertainment during the week. This park does have tiny houses for rent and they are well kept. It is in a decent location, close to shopping and casinos. Downtown Las Vegas is just a couple miles away and a quick drive. The resort is located on busy roads which can be noisy at times. There is a ranger station at the entrance and security. The park had some issues with electricity being rewired and they were currently down 86 spots, but we were told they would be fixed soon. Overall, a nice park and a good stay close to everything.

    Wine Ridge RV Resort

    A great place to plan for longer visit

    We only spent one night, scouting out for a future reservation. It’s a well kept, gated community which includes cabins, cottages, pools, pickle-ball courts and organized community events like bingo, free waffle breakfast a few days per week. A taco truck showed up on this Tuesday, so we had an easy dinner option. The streets are paved, the sites are gravel with a concrete slab patio. A few end spaces have umbrella tables. Also, there are nice private shower rooms. Great monthly rates listed on website.

    Thousand Trails Las Vegas

    Typical thousand trails

    This RV park is a typical thousand trails park. Kind of dumpy, super tight spots, not well maintained, and not in the best area. The spots are packed in tight with very little room to park your vehicle. Our spot was next to a fire hydrant so we had a little extra room to park our truck but we were 1 of 2. The spots are gravel and ours was very hard to get level in even with auto level.. we had SO many leveling blocks under the back. No bench, no fire pit, nothing extra. There was trash at our site, which seemed pretty standard. We barely had cell service the whole time (T-Mobile) and there is no free WiFi, it’s extra. We also had to pay extra for a 50 amp site (which was necessary to run our AC because it was so hot). The pool was very small, not heated, deteriorating, but clean at least. There are 3 laundry facilities and only 4 working washers and 4 working dryers in the whole 200+ spot campground spread out over 3 different buildings. This made for long waits to do any laundry. There is no change machine on site and they offer the wash connect app, but the app can’t find 6/8 machines which is a problem. Lots of trailer park looking trailers with junk, trash, and permanent structures built on. The campground is gated which is nice because it’s not in the best area and they have barbed wire around the whole thing.

    Overall, we would stay here again if we had to, because it was free but it is definitely a pretty dumpy campground.

Guide to Mount Charleston

Cabin camping near Mount Charleston, Nevada offers multiple overnight options within a 45-60 minute drive. Most options are situated at lower elevations around Pahrump, where summer temperatures average 10-15 degrees cooler than Las Vegas but still reach 90°F+ during summer days. Winter temperatures can drop to freezing overnight, requiring appropriate bedding and heating arrangements.

What to do

Soak in mineral pools: Delight's Hot Springs Campground offers 24/7 access to mineral pools ranging from 90-107°F, with a unique open-air soaking experience. "The hot springs are magnificent with 4 private tubs, one open-to-the-Sky" and the main pool features "LED lighting" for nighttime enjoyment.

Star watching: Clear desert skies provide excellent stargazing conditions at most cabin locations. At Tecopa Hot Springs Resort, guests mention "the stars are bright" while the property at DeathValley Camp offers "amazing night skies" from its 2,890-foot elevation, which provides "15/20 degrees less than Furnace Creek" temperatures.

Walk to entertainment: Some cabin locations allow easy access to local establishments without driving. The Retro Camper with Desert Mountain View provides access to nearby dining and entertainment as "the Pioneer Saloon just a 5 minute walk down the hill. Live music Friday-Sunday."

What campers like

Desert setting with conveniences: Lakeside Casino & RV Resort offers a surprising contrast to the typical desert landscape. "Just when you pull in you see trees galore after getting here driving through the desert you realize you've now arrived in a little oasis."

What you should know
