Gold Butte National Monument ADA Access: No accessibility
8 Mile Rd Dispersed camping area is located within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada. This rustic campground offers a backcountry camping experience for those seeking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area. The campground does not provide any amenities, so campers must come prepared with all necessary supplies, including water and firewood.
Reservations are not accepted at 8 Mile Rd Dispersed camping area, as it operates on a first-come, first-served basis. It is important to note that there are no designated campsites, so visitors can choose their own spot within the designated camping area.
Our quaint cozy Mini Motel is a space we are very proud of. It was created many many years ago to house the workers that were building Route 66. Historic charm is always a plus in my book. So we decided to perk it up a few notches and remodel it.
Each room is equipped with its own vanity area, sink, bathroom with shower & tub, closet space and beds with 3″ gel memory foam for a comfortable nights sleep.
If you need to heat something up there are microwaves in each room, as well as a desk area & chair, dresser, TV and blackout drapes. There really is nothing missing for you.! Also, in our Route 66 room we have a mini fridge. So if you might need a fridge, maybe for a longer stay, be sure to request the Route 66 room.
My most favorite about each room is that you can actually be in bed and see the west rim of the Grand Wash.! Its a site you need to see for your self!
$18 - $95 / night

Well the Camphost Bob is amazing. 1/2 of the campers are folks passing through and either keep to themselves or are kind. 1/4 are homeless from Vegas, that kept to themselves and then there was the one bad one that was supposedly passing through that went to jail. Just be mindful of your area and belongings.
GuideQuiet beautifully maintained campground with a dump station, portable water, spigots near restrooms and flush toilets. Firings and picnic tables at each site. Very few sites for rigs over 26’. A few larger sites are offered, but be certain to check what size can be accommodated. Most sites are wide enough to park a 26’ trailer and tow vehicle side-by-side. Some vegetation but not much shade. This is the desert! One beautiful trail about a mile and a half long starts behind campsite number 74.Just minutes from the city of Henderson with all the shopping you could ask for and a short distance but LOTS of traffic to the Las Vegas Strip. Hoover Dam is about 30 mins and Valley of Fire 1.3 hours.

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

The paved portion of the road is really rough. But after spending the day on the dirt portion, it felt quite luxurious. I saw a few Subarus out there. High clearance would be good and 4x4 helpful. Mostly rocky and slow going for me...maybe need softer shocks.
I arrived a the townsite late so that is where I stayed because I could not make it back to Whitney Pocket. There were 2 others camped there.
Sight seeing was cut short because of the wind. Getting out of the vehicle was always work. Will have to come back when the conditions are better.
Traveler
The road can be pretty rough but anyone can get down pretty far. Loved the open space and views of the lake.
Guide
This area is just east of Mesguite Nevada along Gold Butte Road (old mining road that goes many miles into the NE area of Lake Mead. No water, power or cell phone connection in most areas. Must have good tires and high clearance.. many pot holes and hard gravel roads in the area. The area also has several great petroglyph sites. Great for ATV or side by sides.. lots of equestrian riders in the area as well.
Guide
These are open BLM camp sites.. one of around 25 or so in the immediate area. None of these camp sites have amenities, no water, no power, no bathrooms.. just open camping. Some camp sites in the area, those with unobstructed views south to Lake Mead generally have cell phone coverage.. the others do not have any coverage. We love this area for the colorful red and white sandstone formations the dot the landscape. Some of these camp sites will accomodate large RVs.. most can accomodate around 30 feet or less. Must have good suspension.. road into the area is partially paved but has many deep potholes.. the road turns to gravel at Whitney Pocket.
GuideYou can’t please everyone but this park is well kept and the staff is great
ScoutWe stayed here 30 days at half price because we have a senior park pass.

I went to the further dispersed camping areas where I did not see anybody for 3 days my whole time there
RangerI 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.

I really liked the views! Sites were somewhat different but level and solid. But the whole drive thru the neighbors front yard threw me for a minute until I got the gist of it. Very quite! Gas available for less than five dollars a plus as well! Lake mead is extremely low so, it wasn’t the best place for handicap access. But beautiful scenery!
TravelerIn love with the Grand Canyon West view. Very kind crew. Quiet place. Easy access (following their instructions, not the Google maps).
GuideWhile camping at Lake Mead, you can opt to stay in there campground that has electrical hookups, but we prefer to boondock. When you are inside Lake Mead you are able to use the dump station and freshwater to fill up your tanks at Boulder Beach campground.
We love coming here because it is not usually busy and we like our own quiet space. There's also a lot of room for the dogs to run around.
Legend8 mile road is open to free dispersed camping for 7 days. There is a couple dumpsters about a 1/4 mile in but that is all for 2.1 miles of terrible washboard road down to the receding water line. No water, toilets, trash cans at beach areas. The limited beach areas tend to be hogged by folks trying to keep other campers at a distance. I found floating trash all along the shore, styerfoam, plastic bottles, ect. Ugh
GuideThis campground is very quite but seems to have smaller sites than others. When entering there are few spots to accommodate bigger trailers although some spots you can see where the site has been extended into the dirt. I like the no generator section as it is super quite at night. Quite time starts at 10pm in other sections.
TravelerGreat experience. I arrived late at night and was still able to check in with a pay stub. Even though it’s mid/late November the weather was great! Just take a cool weather sleeping bag and you’ll be good.
This campground is reservable 15 days in advance, but if you missed that deadline, there is first come-first serve camping as well. There were many spots open when I came. When you get here, scout for a spot, remember your site number and license plate info, and then go back to pay at the pay stub center (at the entrance of the campground).
Its $20 a night to camp here. BRING CASH! :)
No showers, just bathrooms.
GuideThis park is very clean and very well manicured. All site are paved and level.
GuideDid a day trip here, looking for other areas to be able to set up my mobile office. Awesome views, and half to full cell service/wifi all the way to the water! Water was clear and could see decent sized fish in the shallows. Another start in the boon-docking sash! Only caveat is the trash! Come one fellow campers, whatever happened to picking up and leaving no trace?
ScoutBeautiful and quite at certain time loved it
ScoutPretty 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.
TravelerSuper quiet(except for the jets lol), everything is clean and accessible! Picnic table provided at your site.
Enjoyed my stay
ScoutThere is no specific camp grounds in this area so yoy just have to keep going until you find a spot. The road is primitive and i had issues with fishtailing in the sand so take it slow. The campsite i found was simple and spacious. You could see the lake and it was gorgeous. This particular spot was free, but you still have to pay the fee to get into Lake Mead.
LegendThis campsite is about 10 miles from the Boulder Campground and RV Village. All sites has prefect views of the surrounding mountains. All sites that are situated on the outer rim of the campground, be weary. Most have a good steep decline not to far away from the pavement. I would just be a little careful with kids or dogs. One section does not allow generators. They do have an on site dump station for rigs. No hookups though.
LegendThe 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.
RangerSites 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.
