Best Equestrian Camping near North Las Vegas, NV

Conveniently located in North Las Vegas..the park has had recent upgrades..well maintained.. clean, nice bath houses. The older clover leaf sections have larger sites.. perimeter trails are available for dog walking...

Summer time might not be the best time to try to camp in southern Nevada but with mild fall and winter this campsite leaves a lot of options for those looking for an outdoor adventure.

I spent much of early spring at Red Rock enjoying the facilities, the hiking, the vistas and yes the camping. This campground does accept reservations for group sites however individual sites are walk up first come first serve and with those mild weekends they do fill up quickly. Weekdays are suggested if you can make it out as it is a bit easier to get a site during those days.

One thing most do not consider with camping at this location is the proximity to the Las Vegas strip and all the tourists which that includes. This campsite is coveted and many who wish to venture beyond the brights lights find themselves at this nationally acclaimed facility.

A few things to also consider before traveling here:

1- No cell servIce at the campground for any provIder, fact is unless you hike to the peaks you wIll not fInd any cell service for miles.

2- Campground sometimes appears full when in fact people are parking here instead of camping so do not get turned away without a quick once through the campground itself.

3- No hookups for electrIcal or water at individual sItes. If you must have power you will want to consider alternative sources.

RV campers as well as tent campers are able to stay at thIs locatIon however It does sway a bIt more toward tent campIng In way of spacing and availabilIty.

Cost to camp are $15 for single tent campers like myself. ThIs Includes a pIcnIc table and awning but more Importantly proximity to the park itself. Most don’t inquire about stay length but for a blogger lIke myself I had to know and elected to ask, because who wouldnt want the best vIews In the area as long as possIble! 14 days!!

You can’t please everyone but this park is well kept and the staff is great

The only way to this campsite is getting onto Nellis AFB. You have to be active or retired military. This is by far the best, cleanest, nicest, best shade coverage, mostly pull thrus, tons of mature trees for shade, and the safest. You will not need to tie down anything loose around your site for fear of being stolen here. Obviously reasons being on a military base. All spaces are large and trees in between in the circle park areas. Back in along the walls and a good amount of spaces in a parking lot style. Full hookups, playground, dog park, and many many more amenities. A perfect place to stay if you are able to get on base. Sleeping in can be difficult though, after 7am expect to hear planes, helicopters or jets starting to take off.

Sites are large and perfectly level. Grounds are spotless. Laundry and showers are perfectly maintained. Park is convenient to downtown Vegas and only a few miles from Hoover Dam.

This location is ideal for any type of recreation or entertainment. The park is clean and well maintained. The premium spaces provide shade and full hook ups.

This RV park is available to retired and/or active duty…great sites, most are pull thru…dogs loved the dog park instead of leash walks…

Super quiet(except for the jets lol), everything is clean and accessible! Picnic table provided at your site.

Enjoyed my stay

Pretty much filled up with permanent campers, they do 6 months in campground, move someplace else for 30 days and right back here. Clean and well managed, must be Identification card holder to access the campgrounds on the base. Will stay here again.

Beautiful and quite at certain time loved it

This park is very clean and very well manicured. All site are paved and level.

Great little place if you are military. Must be or have served in the service. God bless America And thanks to all our men and woman who serve.

Great price. Friendly folks. Near I-15. Lots of room to walk the dogs, short drive to downtown or the strip.

Very nice and clean park. The older side arranged in semi circles has larger spaces, but the newer side is really nice. We ha a pull through with full hookups. The staff is very friendly, and on arrival we were escorted to our space. Very nice showers and laundry houses - the showers are individually lockable. My only complaint was that the electrical pedestal was very low making my surge protector lay on the ground, and the night time security lights are way too bright. But yes, we would happily stay again.

Excellent famcamp with a very friendly staff. All sites are FHU with 50/30 amp water and sewer. Clean bathrooms and showers and inexpensive laundry.

Our best stop on the trip! (Been on the road for 2 months). From initial contact to make reservations to the checkin process SIX STARS! The spaces are large, paved and flat. Water pressure is outstanding. Cell service is a bit weak (which is generally customary on military facilities). The check in is done by phone and a escort will guide you to your spot via golf cart. The laundry facilities are very reasonable ($0.75 to wash). The closest shoppette is about 3/4 mile away so you only have to go through the security check point once. A word of caution. Do not follow your GPS if it takes you from range road right on Blytheville road. This is wrong and will lead you to a locked logistics gate. I called the office and they talked me right to the main gate. If you have never stayed near Vegas, it’s 25 minutes from Hoover Dam ( our first stop tomorrow)

Great staff and one of the nicest military RV parks we’ve seen.

I recently stayed at the Desert Eagle RV Park at Nellis Air Force Base and overall, I was pleased with my experience. I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars. The location is excellent, and the facilities are generally well-maintained and clean.

That being said, given that it's a military installation, I expected the park to be even cleaner and more squared away than it was. However, it was still pretty clean and well-maintained overall, with plenty of amenities for RVers.

One of the best things about this RV park is that it's an excellent option for veterans or retired military personnel. If you fall into this category, I would highly recommend staying here. It's one of the best places to stay in the Las Vegas area, especially if you want to be close to Nellis Air Force Base.

Overall, I would definitely consider staying at the Desert Eagle RV Park again if I were in the area. While it wasn't perfect, it had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, and the location couldn't be beat.

Of the campgrounds I checked out in this area I found this one to be one of the nicer ones. Unlike some which had a lot of random garbage this one was well maintained and looked like those who stayed respected the area more.

Sites here were smaller than most but since I stay in a tent of course I had plenty space for my car and tent alike without struggle. I do not see this working well for longer rigs though that need a pull through that is much longer.

I had plenty of space between me and my neighbor and with some low level brush it stopped any of the brash winds from effecting me at night. I had a picnic table and fire ring, standard to most camping sites and that made for a perfect set up for me as I don't really need all that extra most of the time.

The weather was nice other than the wind when I was there so I didn't have any reason to need to plug anything in to keep cool but I do know I wouldn't even attempt to stay here after late May it just gets way to hot. Not to mention they do have a lot of snakes in this area when the heat gets to that point, so no thanks!

The night was quiet, I had read that there were a lot of coyotes but I heard none in the area instead only the sounds of someones RV making a humming noise a few sites over.

The bathrooms were well kept and there was water scattered throughout the campground which made it easy to access. My only complaint in regard to either of these was that the bathrooms did maybe need a bit of restock, but since I am always prepared that wasn't an issue. I would suggest also always being prepared!

TIPS:

• Don't leave trash at your site or food outside of your vehicle if you are in a tent. While I did not hear coyotes others have reported that not to be the case. Many times these animals are out because they smell food and are wanting to look for it.
• Take advantage of lake views for great sunset pictures. I was so upset by the time I got to my campsite I had used all my battery and missed some of the best views of the day.
• Check out hiking in this area. One of the best trails nearby is just a couple miles up at White Owl Canyon. It is marked on this map, however if you go and get a map from rangers you will not find the trail, this is because it is a wash area and is closed from time to time. Simply ask for directions to the trailhead when passing though the rangers station.

The best parts of this campground is that there is cell service, restrooms, and an RV dump station. It's a very dry and sad campground, with no view of the lake as it has receded too far with the low lake levels. It used to be a convenient place to camp close to the Las Vegas Bay Marina. The marina is now closed to docking, but there is dry storage for watercraft. There are also day use facilities: Shaded picnic areas and public restroom. For a campground that doesn't remind you of a ghost town, try Boulder Beach Campground, just south of here.

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.

Great views and good hikes! I had a blast!

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. This is dry camp only. No hookups or dump station. Portable water is available. Sites are well developed.

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!

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.

it's a little way to the water but it's central for all your exploring needs.

Clean bathrooms and paved roads perfect for bike riding.

oleanders trees separate your neighbors

each spot has tables and fire rings.

nice size spots for you to park at.

boulder beach is about a 15-minute drive from here and government wash is about 20.

lake las vegas is about 10 minutes

the strip is about 30 mins

lost to explore for sure

if you don't have a nation rec pass be ready to pay to get in.

 There are bathrooms with toilets and sinks.  The sites are a little close together but the views on the outside sites facing the water are incredible.  Spectacular views of the stream.  The campground host is also very nice.  There are trails at one of the campground that are fun to walk.  

I saw a coyote in the campground one morning but he ran away when I stood up.  The last time I camped here, someone had a dog that they didn't leash and he kept running into my campground so that was annoying because my dog is afraid of other dogs and we ended up not staying the night because of that.
