Vegas Glamping in Henderson offers luxury outdoor accommodations with five glamping sites just 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. The property provides a distinctive desert glamping experience with canvas tents featuring comfortable beds, drinking water access, and shower facilities. Each site includes a fire ring for evening gatherings, with firewood available on-site. The glamping resort allows pets and alcohol, making it suitable for relaxed getaways. A small market on the property provides essential supplies, while the proximity to Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers scenic desert landscapes. One guest noted, "The surrounding area was beautiful and there were plenty of stars at night, although I'm pretty sure you still get some light pollution from Las Vegas."
Lake Mead National Recreation Area houses additional glamping options at Las Vegas Bay Campground and Callville Bay. These locations feature various accommodation types within a short drive of Henderson and Boulder City. Visitors appreciate the contrast between luxury camping experiences and the rugged desert environment. The campgrounds provide clean facilities with flush toilets and drinking water. A recent visitor mentioned, "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." Seasonal considerations include summer temperatures exceeding 100°F during daytime hours, with more moderate conditions in spring and fall. The glamping sites serve as ideal basecamps for exploring nearby attractions including Hoover Dam (approximately 30 minutes away) and Valley of Fire State Park (about 1.3 hours from the campgrounds).

Impeccable Desert Campground
This is our second time at Willow Beach campground, the last time was many years ago and it’s dramatically improved since then. Extremely clean bathrooms and beautifully maintained desert landscaping. We saw the maintenance staff raking and cleaning the spaces every day. We were able to spend the days paddle boarding and rest in our trailer in the afternoon and evenings. Be warned, the wind can really get moving, tent camping would be very challenging. We saw several popups and poorly staked tents taking a beating. Our space was quite private with a great view of the stark landscape.

Peace and quiet
Very nice campground near the Colorado River. Quiet and peaceful. Great if you’re into kayaking or canoeing. Great for fishing too.
Ryan F.GuideDesert Pass Campground
25 Miles away...But a world of difference
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the heat and bustle of Las Vegas, this campsite Desert Pass in the Mormon Pass is the perfect getaway.
Just a short drive away, you’re instantly transported into cooler mountain air surrounded by beautiful pine and juniper trees. The elevation makes a huge difference in temperature—what feels awful and unbearable in the valley becomes a refreshing and comfortable summer retreat here.
The site itself is well-maintained, with clean and convenient pit toilets that make camping much more pleasant for families. The grounds are spacious, with plenty of room to spread out and set up camp comfortably. The trees not only provide shade but also add to the serene, scenic setting. Be smart, bring water, there is NO water available at this location. During the summer months also be cautious of the bees. We had a MASSIVE presence of bees once we brought the water and cups out, they are just as thirsty as you are up there!
Whether you’re relaxing at camp, exploring the trails, or just enjoying the cooler mountain air, this spot offers the kind of quiet and beauty that feels like it’s worlds away, even though it’s only about 25 miles from Las Vegas.
A great location for families, adventurers, or anyone wanting a quick but refreshing reset in nature!

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.

Nice and Clean
Stayed one night as we passed through. Spots we nice and level overlooked a small canyon. Campmhost was an older gentleman and was super nice. Water available and very clean bathrooms. Was plenty of vegetation between the campsites. Wasn't a whole lot of people there when we were. Was worried a little a bout th3 crime s other campsites mentioned issues closer to town. A dirt bike cameripping through at about 3am but that was about it. There is a section dedicated to no generator use if you want the extra quite. Temps were at 102 during the day and 70s at night.

Nice facilities for a tent camper
Nice campsite for tents or RVs. Flushing toilets and running water in the bathroom was nice. Beautiful sunset views, and the hills block all signs of civilization. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you are 20 minutes from Vegas. 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 nice.

Nice and Remote
First things first, the road out to the site can be a little rough. We made it out with a Subaru Outback Wilderness with no issues, so as long as you have AWD or 4WD, and decent ground clearance, you shouldn’t have any issues. The sites were clean and decently spaced apart. In March, temps dropped to below freezing, but we were spared the bugs so at least there was that. There is no running water, cellular service, or firewood, so come prepared. The surrounding area was beautiful and there were plenty of stars at night, although I’m pretty sure you still get some light pollution from Las Vegas. All things considered, I would definitely come back.

Willow Beach again
Came back out to Willow Beach again. As always we had a great time. The staff at the Store / Marina are always friendly and helpful. The campsite and campground facilities are very clean. Great Camp Host as well. We will be back next month.

What campers like
Desert elevation changes: The mountains near Las Vegas offer temperature relief.

The elevation makes a huge difference in temperature—what feels awful and unbearable in the valley becomes a refreshing and comfortable summer retreat here."
Campground privacy: Many sites provide adequate spacing between campers. At Desert Pass Campground, Daniel G. notes, "There are 7 sites total. Two up one side on a small hill, two by the first vault toilet, one in the middle, and then a group site with two tent pads by the second vault toilet."

Tips for camping with families
Lake access considerations: Not all lakeside campgrounds provide swimming access. Katelyn B. notes about Callville Bay: "It's kinda a ways away from the lake, no swimming access. Boats only. About a 10 minute drive away from swimming."
Campsite selection: Choose sites with natural shade when possible. Amy G. shares about Las Vegas Bay: "We had site 23 - very shaded and 'green' - site 24 (not ours) was very open to the desert."
Security awareness: Monitor your belongings in more populated campgrounds. Imerie T. advises, "Just be mindful of your area and belongings," noting that while most campers keep to themselves, security awareness remains important.
Tips from RVers
Hookup options: For full amenities, Greg L. suggests alternative accommodations: "As an alternative to the NPS campground across the road, this mobile home park has some full hookup RV spots in the rear of the mobile home park next to the laundry/restrooms. Cost for RV as of Feb 2022 was only $29.38 for full hookups."
Site dimensions: Consider vehicle size when choosing campgrounds. Bonnie C. cautions about Las Vegas Bay Campground: "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."
Dump station access: Kevin H. notes about Callville Bay, "Was very quiet not a whole lot of people. No hook ups water nearby but a great place to relax and explore Lake Mead. The fee is $20 per night and with the senior citizen discount only $10 per night."
