Wildlife viewing: Dawn and dusk offer opportunities to spot desert wildlife near cabin accommodations. "Quail are everywhere. Close to the water and it's peacefully quiet," shares Robin P. about Las Vegas Bay Campground, where campers regularly report hearing coyotes and owls.
What campers like
Shade and vegetation: Many cabin areas provide unexpected greenery in the desert environment. "Lots of big trees and bushes make the campground feel like an oasis," writes Lance E. about Las Vegas Bay Campground, which features palm trees and oleander providing natural privacy between sites.
Proximity to conveniences: Thousand Trails Las Vegas RV Resort offers cabin rentals with urban amenities nearby. "This park has great proximity to Vegas action and is centrally located for day trips around the area. Staff and security are excellent," notes OurEpicFieldTrip about the resort's location advantages.
Affordability: Cabin camping costs vary significantly based on amenities. Las Vegas Bay Campground offers lower rates for certain groups. "Rates are $20 per night, $10 for senior or access pass holders," explains Minda B., making this a budget-friendly option for those who qualify.
What you should know
Security considerations: Some cabin rental areas have security measures in place. "The campground is gated which is nice because it's not in the best area and they have barbed wire around the whole thing," reports Alyssa S. about Arizona Bay in Lake Mohave, where cabin rentals require advance planning.
Site variations: Each cabin location offers different site specifications and layouts. "We had site 23 - very shaded and 'green' - site 24 (not ours) was very open to the desert," explains Amy G. about Las Vegas Bay Campground, highlighting how neighboring sites can provide completely different experiences.
Bathroom facilities: Restroom quality varies between cabin rental locations. "Restrooms are flush facilities and clean," confirms Lance E. about Las Vegas Bay facilities, while another camper notes that at Thousand Trails, "The restrooms and laundry room were dark and cramped."
Tips for camping with families
No-generator sections: For families seeking quieter cabin stays, some campgrounds offer designated quiet zones. "There is a no generator section meant for tents, but we didn't stay there as it seemed fully booked," explains Amy G. at Las Vegas Bay Campground, which provides this option for noise-sensitive visitors.
Temperature planning: Desert climate extremes require careful planning for family cabin stays. "We stayed in late March which was a great time to stay. Low 70s during the day and maybe 50 at the coldest part of the night," advises Trevor J., highlighting the importance of seasonal timing.
Camphost assistance: On-site staff can provide valuable support for families. "Camphost Bob is amazing," reports Imerie T., noting the helpful presence of staff who can assist with questions or concerns during cabin stays.
Tips from RVers
Site size considerations: When booking cabin accommodations, check space limitations carefully. "Sites are small. RVs larger than 31 ft will have a hard time fitting," warns Bonnie C. about Las Vegas Bay Campground, information relevant to visitors with combination RV/cabin reservations.
Leveling challenges: Some cabins and RV sites may present leveling difficulties. "Our spot was very hard to get level in even with auto level... we had SO many leveling blocks under the back," reports Alyssa S. about her experience at Thousand Trails, suggesting visitors bring additional leveling equipment.
