Best RV Parks & Resorts near North Las Vegas, NV

This park has great proximity to Vegas action and is centrally located for day trips around the area. Staff and security are excellent. Layout of the park and sites are extremely small, and amenities are limited. Plan on spending time out and about enjoying what Vegas has to offer.  See more details:  https://ourepicfieldtrip.com/2020/02/22/thousand-trails-las-vegas-rv-resort-las-vegas-nv-campground-review/

We love camping at Mount Charleston in the summer! It provides the perfect break from the Vegas heat! McWilliams campground was renovated in 2015 featuring paved parking areas at each campsite. Bathrooms are modern but no showers. Lots of hiking available! We had a very small herd of wild mustangs go through our site! Very cool! Campsites fill up fast!! It can feel crowded. Best to reserve your site in advance www.reserveamerica.com. Campground is dog friendly! There are no RV hook-ups and no dump site.

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.

Many older RV's with long-term stays.  However, it is an interesting old place... with Pittman General Store & Café, pool with outside walls, full hook-ups, laundry, mail service, security, and adults only.  Easy access to downtown Las Vegas, with nearby shopping malls and casinos.

The McWilliams Campground, recently renovated and well maintained is my go-to campground when visiting the Mount Charleston area. When the Las Vegas heat smothers the Vegas Valley it is usually over 25 degrees cooler in the mountain, so it seems appropriate that it is referred to as a “sky island” because as a Las Vegas local it feels like an island getaway within an hour drive.

If your navigation app can’t find it try entering the Lee Canyon Ski Resort because that is less than a mile up the road. The campground sign will be on your right heading up the mountain just past the Lower Bristlecone Trail . The even number sites are first-come while the odd numbers are reservable but go quickly when released. My trip this week saw a full campground but it was a family crowd and no rowdy campers. They designed sites for tent or small trailer camping on the back loop and a lot of fairly level sites for RVs dispersed throughout. RV hookups won’t be found here so be prepared to dry camp.

Mule deer grazed in the woods behind my camp site in the early morning. Wild burros and horses also inhabit the area. Wild horses congregate a short walk away at the Meadows in cooler parts of the day. Blue birds and hummingbirds are a common sight as well for birding.

The camp host was friendly and helpful. There were a few drinking water pumps out of order so he helped me find one down the road and offered to drop my 5 gallon jug back at my site up the hill so I didn’t have to carry it.

Droughts affect the mountain and campfire restrictions are common in the summer months. Waterfalls and creeks dry to a trickle. Majestic Bristlecone Pines well adept to the climate provide shade for many sites.

Ok so first of all this isn’t the best part of town so make sure you lock up. Short term, overnight and long term availability. Super nice people. Plenty of space for your camper and a vehicle. Full hook ups Clean pool Laundry facilities Nearby to hotels and restaurants Overall decent place that will always have availability

This is more of a month to month residential RV park if you check in with Mike who runs the place and your in a bind I’m sure he will work with you for weekly or whatever you may need. But super clean, full hook ups, and they have a pool.

Tried to inquire some information but not able to get anybody in front office. Was told another resident that lots are for purchase. Place used to be called Red Mountain RV Resort. Each lot was customized, so not sure if you are able to purchase daily. Recommend contacting park for more info. They did have pool, laundry facilities and full hookups.

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.

The RV park was easily accessed from the interstate fairly close to the road but very nice lots of trees the staff was very friendly and except Good Sam

Honestly, we chose this RV park due to proximity to the Cummins facility. I don’t believe we will choose this park again.

Pros:

Gated. Full hookups.

Cons:

Proximity to Nellis AFB flyovers. Started at 7 am and were on/off all day. If you want a place to sleep in, this is not it. I love planes and jets, but this park is on the flight path.

Everything, except for convenience stores and gas stations, is at least 3-5 miles away: grocery stores, restaurants, etcetera.

Bad part of town, hence the need for security gates.

A severe tire damage spike strip is installed to keep vehicles from going the wrong way. And it is at the sharp left turn to exit (with an RV space across the way). There has to be a better way.

Speed bumps are throughout park. I hate this trend.

Not necessarily big rig friendly if you have a full side slideout. Could not use awning because tree butted right up to the slide.

The park is ok. The bathrooms are clean, parking spots are super small. The only thing I really don't like about this Thousand Trails is the location. It doesn't feel safe at all. You can hear gunshots in the middle of the night. I own a converted van and I like to walk or take my electric scooter to run errands. I did not feel comfortable walking about a mile to Walgreens I felt like I was gonna get mugged at any moment.

Very clean & popular with asphalt roadways, newer RVs, long-term & short-term stays, store, restrooms with showers, pool & spa, and dog park.  Easy access to downtown Las Vegas and nearby major shopping and casinos.

Overall your “resort” style RV resort 10 mins from the strip. Very large campground and check in is like the dmv of campgrounds. Night security is great. Sites are all close together since there so many of them. Easy to back in.

Felt 100% safe and secure here. Gate is always closed and upon arrival security has to buzz you in. Once you get checked in you get an actual key for entering and leaving the rv park. RV park has clean bath houses with running water and we had full hookups. Also the water park can be accessed by a $10 / day charge per person. Our daughter loved the waterpark, midway with video games, air hockey and skeeball. Our dog loved the RV dogpark. Only reason for 4 stars is that the RV park could use a fresh coat of paint. However they are revamping the entire property. Would definitely stay here again.
