Best Tent Camping near North Las Vegas, NV

Not sure why we would go to tent camp at Lake Mead in the middle of summer but we did, and we were not the only ones. It was 110 degrees during the day and 85 degrees at night. Quite miserable honestly. Tent sites were spacious and bathrooms were fairly clean. Ideal time to camp here would most likely be early Spring or late Fall.

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...

8 mile is just like Government Wash. Free boondocking with a 7 day limit. There is a dumpster at the front but no bathroom or other facilities. Hike out what you hike in. You could tent camp here or any size RV so long as you find a level spot to park.

Coyotes are very present so I personally wouldn't tent camp anywhere here but I saw several people with no problems tent camping.

There is a no break law in effect but some people still seem to leave broken glass around so be mindful. The water is close. I didn't go far enough to see of this road leads to the water. The road is very rough so I parked as soon as I was able in a class B. There were some fast trucks coming in and out as it was the weekend and the weather was perfect.

$80 RV, $45 tent camping with No shade, CG is not even on the lake. Total crazy stupid ripoff by a pvt hospitality company leasing the NPS camping area.

Stayed here in March when the weather was perfect. They have rv sites and tent camping. I typically pull my rig, but decided on tent camping for this adventure. Midweek there was plenty of sites to choose from. I was able to find a site that was situated between two large boulder areas, so I was completely secluded and had full privacy. The sites are already spaced out, but the extra barrier made me feel like I had the place to myself. The petroglyphs are a short drive or a good walking distance from the campsites. The facilities were clean and water spots throughout sites. Highly recommend camping at this place anytime but summer months, as it can get hot!

it's inside lake mead. easy access and plenty of camping spots for trailer/rv and tent camping. Nice walk to the lake. There are restrooms. What I didnt like was no night attendant. We had someone parked in our spot. overall it's a good family camping spot.

Nice clean RV park. Very reasonably price, easy to get to. Full hookups, pool, coin laundry, very nice bathrooms/showers around. Wide streets make it easy to get your rig in the spot. Big and small rig spots. No tent sites.

We were tent camping in #21 which is a walk-in site and my fav of the three walk sites of this area. Only about a 45 second walk but there are only three campsite on this side of the rocks and it’s quiet. Once spigot for water. Trash cans. 2 mins walk to the bathroom. Tent pad, fire pit, grill, picnic table. It was perfect.

Stayed in site C3. A very clean and well maintained campground. Visited in December and spent 3 night. Full hook ups for all drive thru and back in camp sites. There are tent sites also and everything is well maintained. There are tables and fire pits  at all sites and lantern pole in all tent sites. Very quiet, within walking distance to Lake Mead, but all up hill on the way back. Great scenery, and a lot of recreational things at the marina.  Boat, kayak, paddleboard rentals are available. Fishing dock close by. Can even visit the fish hatchery up river, which is a short walk. Store with about everything you need and a small restaurant. Campground has showers and laundry. They take passes and the price is going up next season. But still a good deal especially with a pass. Reservations thru the Campground website. No cell service, but internet is available. Will be going back.

I spent one night at this campground as I was passing through the area and assumed a campground this size would at least have shower facilities. It is a typical large more for RV than tent camping sites but was OK for a one night stay only because of the view (note only a few of the front sites have a decent view of the lake).

It’s a very large campground with a good amount of trees in some locations. There are plenty of bathrooms and places to get water, no showers though. Lots of places for RV’s to park, so keep this in mind when tent camping, there is a lot of people RV camping right next to you. I enjoyed the convenience of the location but it was not a quiet camp ground.

The Dyrt has the listing for the same spot. There are two completely different areas, the campground site is directly next to the RV village. The campground has potable water spots throughout and is completely shaded with lots of foliage. The RV village has a few permanent residents, but there are many spots in the front, rear and side of the village for rv campers. There was no tent camping in the RV village, but you can tent camp in the regular campground next to it. The best spots are right in front of the village, which had at least 20 spots that are able to be reserved. Full hookups in the RV village. All front spots are on concrete pads, so no guessing if your rig is balanced. There is a little general store on property and its also where you check in. Went in the spring, when the weather isn't too bad at Lake Mead. You can walk to the lake, but it is a looooong walk. You can drive your vehicle right onto the lake shore and park directly next to the lake. I did this a few times when there. It was great to back up the truck, open the tail gate and sit right on the lake shore. Boulder City is a short drive with plenty of food and activities to check out.

Visited today and this campsite is open. The other site Arch Rock is still closed. This area has tent and rv spots, as well as walk in tent sites along the back against the boulders. Very clean campsite and facilities. Many rv sites appeared to be almost perfectly level. Plenty of space between sites and lots of room to easily park a trailer and park your vehicle. Had many pull thrus for those large rigs. Water and electric hookups. Dump site is located at the entrance.

If you stay here stay in an RV . The tent sites are exposed to the elements and you have to pitch your tent on sharp rocks. When we stayed in our RV it was a great experience. The way the campground is set up the rock formations block your views from your neighbors so you feel very secluded. The hikes we so much fun here. We hiked up to fire wave, the elephant, and hiked the prospect trail. Late fall is the perfect time to go so you don't melt.

Stayed the weekend, RV spaces are set apart from the tent sites in a semi-circle of 5 spaces in a quiet area. There are aluminum picnic tables, fire pits and BBQ’s but not hookups. Spaces are pretty deep but not very wide. Space 5 is at the end up near a slight hill so it was a bit more private than the others which are pretty close together. It was close to home which was nice. Great view of Red Rock in the distant to see the sun set.

First, there are two areas. The RV park and the campground. The RV park has all your amenities and full hookups. Store, propane and great views of Lake Mead. If you are able to reserve a rv pad nearest the lake, you will be in for a treat. All spots have full hookup and picnic table. You have full unobstructed view of the lake from these pads.

The campground is separate from the RV park, but located directly next to it...really adjoining. Separate fees go to the National Park for camping. Currently, showers are not running. Has many pull thrus for rigs, as well as tent camping. Plenty of shade and spaces are not to close.

If you like camping this is a must go to spot. Landscape is unlike any other, millions of years of erosion to create a breathtaking environment. They have both tent sites and RV sites. It does cost but there’s a self kiosk you can pay at. You can’t go wrong with any spot to camp at but the one’s towards the back were better in my opinion. They do have three spots in the back that are tents only that are pretty sweet spots. But overall it was a experience I will never forget and I will definitely be returning multiple times, especially since it’s only an hour away from Las Vegas. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This campground was perfect for us. We stayed for a week while I worked remotely. Although there was very little cell reception, there was good WiFi at a reasonable price. The internet, power, water, and showers (even in December) were all steady. And while I worked, my husband hiked the park. Lots of beautiful trails to explore and rocks to climb (at all levels of difficulty)!

The only criticism I have is that I wish that some of the tent sites offered electric, too. We were just van camping and really didn't need a whole RV spot, but those were the only ones with power.

All in all, a great site!

This is a fairly new camping area. Offers full hook ups as well as tent only camping. Landscaping and spacing is really nicely done. Camp ground also offers clean toilet and shower area accessible only by keycard. You get the key card when you check in. Also has a laundry facility. The Marina offers boat, kayak, canoe and paddle board rentals but reserve in advance!! Advance reservations for full hook up is also a must! Campground is quite. All sites have a picnic table and campfire ring. Tent sites also have poll for lamp. Small store at marina offers bait, food for camping souvenirs and firewood. Also a restaurant with a full service bar. Must wear face mask to go into either.

Took my kids and my mom camping for a little vacation away from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. I chose Boulder Beach campground as it was our first time and didn't want to be too far from home. It was perfect!! It was quiet, relaxing and no one was around us so it felt really secluded. At night we watched the bats flutter about and heard a lot of coyotes far off. When we woke in the morning, we had the most beautiful view of the lake. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to go again!! Only thing I wish we had access to were showers. There are bathrooms all over and water spigots really close to the campsites, but if you're tent camping plan ahead for no showers.
