    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.

    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.

    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.

    Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    Beautiful views, clean

    The sites are a first come first served basis. There are paved parking pads, concrete table, bbq grill, and fire rings at each site. View of a canyon stream, some coyotes heard at night. There is a restroom with flushable toilets that are clean. There is a free dump station. Rates are $20 per night, $10 for senior or access pass holders.

    Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    Relaxing Space

    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.

    Thousand Trails Las Vegas

    Very Close to Your Neighbors & Noisy

    We stayed at this park twice while passing North and South of Las Vegas.  It's a no frills Thousand Trails park that could use some updating.  The spaces are very tight together partially because the occupants don't follow the site lines on the ground.  We saw several that parked on the line and extended their slide outs into the area of the next RV'er, therefore, they were unable to extend their awning.  Car parking is chaos, again because no one seems to stay within the space lines painted on the ground. We had difficulty even backing into our site because of the way the next door neighbor parked his rig and vehicle.  They finally saw us struggling and came out to move their car.  There is noise from a busy road behind the park and it's in the path of the airport.  Between the noise and the close quarters, we were ready to move on after a week.  The laundry rooms were decent but twice we found washers to be out of order.  Showers are OK.  Dog park is half grass and half dirt.  Pool was closed when we arrived but looks nice.  Some annual or seasonal sites could use some clean up.  Looked like they were storing everything they owned outside.

    Thousand Trails Las Vegas

    Nothing Special but proximity to the Strip.

    This park does not really deserve the word "Resort" as a title. Many of the spaces are so cramped you can't even put an awning or a chair out unless it is in front of your rig. The sites are so tight that some only have an inch or two of separation between neighbors. The staff actually asks the width of your rig at check in and even assists some people backing into the tiny spaces.

    The restrooms and laundry room were dark and cramped. I can get that experience in my own RV. The park overall looked dirty and drab. The pool area was really nice and well maintained with a heated pool and simple lounge area. It was nice to be able to relax for a moment and melt into the warm sunny days until a shadow of a plane and the heavy rumble of its engines wakes you from your day dream. Chase that startled moment with the sounds of first responder sirens constantly blaring to save another person from getting swallowed up in Las Vegas statistics.

    The WiFi in the lodge was pretty good, as far as RV parks go. That is, if you can get past the funky smell that greets your nose in the lodge. Sort of like old reheated picante beef Cup of Noodles freshly pulled from the microwave. The polite staff as we entered and left the park were always a joy to catch up with as we snapped incredible pictures of fiery sunsets behind the leafy branches of swaying palm trees.

    The redeeming quality of this park is its location to The Strip, only ten minutes east and a few minutes more to Fremont. With a little over an hour's drive north you can visit Valley of Fire State Park for an amazing day of hiking and exploring. You can even catch a glimpse of petroglyphs scribbled on the vibrant red faces of massive boulders and cliffs.

    Like I said, there is some good and some bad to rightfully earn that balanced 3 stars. @RoarksVentures stayed here in March, 2018. We were grateful to experience the place, both its pros and cons, while traveling through Nevada.


Guide to Overton

At an elevation of around 1,250 feet, Overton experiences typical Mojave Desert climate with summer highs often exceeding 100°F and mild winters. Many cabins provide basic shelter with varying levels of amenities, from rustic accommodations with fire rings to more developed options with kitchenettes.

What to do

Stargazing experiences: The clear desert skies around Meadview provide exceptional stargazing opportunities. At Happy Trails Campground & Mini Motel, campers enjoy remarkable night sky views. "Beautiful views and very peaceful. Excellent for star gazing! Lots of trails to explore with your off roading toys," notes one visitor.

Grand Wash Cliffs viewing: These dramatic cliffs offer a natural light show as the sun moves across the sky. "The Grand Wash cliffs really put on a great show. Get the fire pit going and cook some chow or just chill and star gaze," reports a guest at Meadview RV Park.

Water recreation: Lake Mead access points are available within short drives from several cabin accommodations. "Lake Mead is only 10 minutes away! This campground is perfect for those with the outdoor bug like us," shares a Happy Trails camper. Activities include fishing, swimming, and kayaking.

Desert exploration: The Joshua tree landscapes provide distinctive desert scenery unique to the region. One visitor to Happy Trails Campground noted, "The Joshua trees are beautiful. It has a great location 45 minutes from the West rim Grand Canyon. There are several canyons minutes away that provide amazing sunsets."

What campers like

Desert wildlife viewing: Areas near Las Vegas Bay Campground offer opportunities to spot desert wildlife. "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!!" mentions one regular visitor.

Feeling of remoteness: Despite relatively close proximity to urban areas, cabins provide a sense of wilderness isolation. "You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you are 20 minutes from Vegas. Beautiful sunset views, and the hills block all signs of civilization," states a tent camper at Las Vegas Bay.

Family-friendly atmosphere: Happy Trails Campground receives consistent praise for its hospitable environment. "I was greeted promptly by Scarlet, the 12-year-old boss. So cute! A small family run diamond in the rough RV park was such a pleasant surprise," shares one visitor who stayed for five nights.

Convenient base location: Cabin camping provides strategic positioning for exploring multiple attractions. "This area also has access to the Colorado River and quads/ATVs are also a thing here," notes a reviewer at Meadview RV Park, highlighting its usefulness as a hub for various activities.

What you should know

Preparation needs: The remote location of some cabin sites requires advance planning. A visitor to Meadview RV Park advises, "The nearest major amenities are in Kingman about an hour away so stock up before you arrive."

Weather considerations: Temperature variations affect comfort levels at different times of year. "We stayed in late March which was a great time to stay. Low 70s during the day and maybe 59 at the coldest part of the night," reports a Las Vegas Bay camper, suggesting spring as an optimal season.

Site variations: Cabin and site sizes differ significantly between locations. At Las Vegas Bay Campground, a visitor notes, "Sites are small. RVs larger than 31 ft will have a hard time fitting. This is dry camp only."

Accessibility factors: Some locations require specific driving routes. For Happy Trails Campground, one visitor mentions, "Easy access (following their instructions, not the Google maps)," highlighting the importance of using campground-provided directions rather than GPS.

Tips for camping with families

Shower facilities: Families with children may prioritize locations with reliable bathing options. "Small town, big heart is what comes to mind when I think of Happy Trails. Free coffee in the mornings and clean bathrooms with a shower," notes a tent camper with two dogs.

Space considerations: Site layout impacts comfort for family groups. "The sites are 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," explains a Las Vegas Bay visitor, describing the benefits of center sites.

Kid-friendly atmosphere: Some locations specifically cater to families with children. At Happy Trails Campground, a visitor was "greeted by 'the boss' little miss scarlett who gave me a tour, fun facts, and cupcakes she had baked," demonstrating the family-oriented environment.

Safety factors: Secure campgrounds provide peace of mind for parents. Meadview RV Park receives praise from one visitor who described it as "convenient and safe parking for any size RV with power and water connection," emphasizing the security aspect important to families.

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Prepare for potentially uneven sites at some locations. At Thousand Trails Las Vegas, an RVer reports, "Our spot was very hard to get level in even with auto level... we had SO many leveling blocks under the back."

Site spacing: Expect variation in site proximity between different campgrounds. "The spaces are very tight together partially because the occupants don't follow the site lines on the ground," notes a Thousand Trails Las Vegas visitor, contrasting with the more spacious options at other area campgrounds.

Hookup availability: Cabin campers with RVs should verify utility connections before booking. "This is dry camp only. No hookups or dump station. Portable water is available. Sites are well developed," explains a Las Vegas Bay camper, emphasizing the need to check specific amenities.

Reservation timing: Advance booking is particularly important during popular seasons. "We arrived on Wednesday and had about 3/4 of the campground to choose from," notes a Las Vegas Bay visitor, suggesting mid-week arrival increases site selection options.
