Best Campgrounds near Nellis Air Force Base, NV

Very quite spot. Safe. Visited for one night. Easy road.

All sites have water, nothing else. Beautiful sites.

Dirt Road easy accessible with 30ft camper. View on lake and sunset are fantastic. Donkeys included. Recommended 👍🏼

Not sure if it’s typical for the area but it was quite windy for about 3 out of 4 days. Plenty of sites around to spread out from other campers. Reasonably level with a bit of fiddling.

We stayed for just one night in early April, and our timing couldn't have been more perfect! We arrived right at sunset and managed to snag a fantastic spot right on the water's edge. Watching the sun go down over the water from that location offered some truly incredible views. It was a wonderful, memorable experience, even for a short stay. We definitely look forward to our next trip and making another stop here!

Wonderful campsite overlooking the lake and beach. No hookups but dump station and water available at the entrance. Can walk to the beach and marina.

Loved loved loved it! The views are insane, lots of exploring around. The facilities are well maintained and the sites spacious. Would highly recommend! My only concern was the very bad cell signal and that the wifi costs 8$ per device per day.

Quite a bit of trash at nearly every site--please pick up after yourselves! Most sites were occupied on a Monday night, but despite that we were able to find an okay spot and had a quiet night. The cooler temp at a higher elevation was a nice break from the heat. No cell service, no amenities.

Beautiful spot. A bit windy this week. Not to many other campers here mid-week, but a few. White caps on the water because of wind.

Directions led me right to it. Gravel road up the side of a hill. It wasn't too hard in an old 92 Chevy van. Campsites are far apart but I only found about 6 camping spots here. It is very quiet and very scenic. It sure beats sleeping in Sam's Parking lot. ;) I couldn't figure out if a permit is needed. No signs but the dyrt writeup leads me to believe one is needed.

Really fun spot, but don’t get there later at night or it could be hard to get a spot. Super pretty to wake up and see in the morning though

We booked this last minute and had a great time at the park. The pool was closed, but they gave us access to the Sam's Town hotel pool, which we did not make time to use. We had a site near the road, and the noise did not bother us, as our overhead AC fan was running for white noise. The staff was friendly, and the store had a small amount of RV, food essentials, and Las Vegas gifts and accessories. The facilities were clean, and their upgrades to the central grounds look promising. They welcomed our kiddos when booking, unlike another local RV venue. We plan to return to this site in the future.

I camp all the time but could not bring myself to stay here. There's fresh and stale burro shit on every inch of the campsite. Literally so much of it that it is difficult to find a large enough space to pitch your tent. Gross, unsanitary. I'm surprised more reviews do not mention this. Maybe it wouldn't bother you if you were in an RV. There's also flies all over, no surprise. On top of that, there's a lot of solo male campers and no privacy b/w camps

Gorgeous views of the lake. Not for someone looking for solitude as there will most certainly be other campers. While you can find some spots that are flatter, most are slanted. Bathroom is clean, 10/10. If you’re lucky, you might get a visit from some very adorable local donkeys.

Firstly if you do not have 4 wheel drive you can get in but seriously use caution! For bigger rigs - we a 30ft Skoolie, a 25ft RV and a Jeep towing a 17ft cargo conversion trailer in with only minor white knuckling. There’s little chance the bus could have pulled my trailer in so had to pull it separately with my jeep. The last 2.5 miles is pitchy with some really tight turns as well as steep hills and washboard, rocky texture. The road is mostly rock and gravel with packed sand underneath. Don’t even try it in the rain without 4x4. Drop offs on one or both sides at times. Just take it SLOW and you’ll be good. The spots are plentiful but not level and they’re really rocky. If you’re looking for a manicured campground style spot this is not for you - but if you like rugged gems off the beaten path then you’ll love it! The water is so clean, great fishing and water sports. There’s not a boat ramp here but you can launch boards, kayaks and small dingy boats from the beach. There’s are wild donkeys and lots of birds and bats. There’s views are spectacular! Jeepers can climb through several trails and they all offer amazing views. There’s also a vault toilet up the hill from the water. You’ll see it on your right on the way to the water. There are no trash cans or wood to gather so pack in pack out your trash and bring firewood!

This is a pleasant well-maintained campground with a helpful friendly ranger. I did not give it five stars only because The sites are cramped a little bit too close together and the vegetation needs to grow up around the campsites a little bit more. It was not full on a weekend when all nearby campgrounds were packed. Most of the sites have a nice view of Lake Mead

Amazing views plenty of room spread out. Some good hikes.. just started climbing on either side. Lots of fire circles. But the views were spectacular and stole the show. Best off grid dispersed camping experience we have ever had.

Reservations are required but there is running water and a great covered picnic area. Closest bathrooms to the beehives attraction so we would occasionally get people using our bathrooms despite the signs posted indicating trespassing if you weren't part of a group reservation. Overall a great time and tons of rocks for the kids to climb.
