Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Mostly ok
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.

Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
So Close, yet So Far
Quiet 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 Military FamCamp
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.

Beautiful sunsets
The road can be pretty rough but anyone can get down pretty far. Loved the open space and views of the lake.

Hard to believe how close to Las Vegas this campground is!
This campground is open September through June and all sites are dry camping. There is a separate area for RVs, trailers, and vans but many camper vans (including ours) were in the tent section. The camper pads in this area are dirt/gravel and not all of them are level but we made it work. Each site has a fire ring, BBQ grill, and picnic table. Some of the sites (but not all) have a covered picnic table and the table is located on a cement pad.
There are more than sufficient vault toilets sprinkled throughout the campground and all the ones we used were clean. No showers. No dump station.
The hosts were great – they are from Minnesota, and it is their third year at this campground. They made daily rounds and were very friendly.
This campground is located just outside the park and therefore not subject to the park fees. You will need a timed entry for the 13-mile scenic drive from October through May (but if you enter before 8 am, you will not need it). We had only a fleeting one bar of Verizon cell service. Make sure you make reservations as the campground was full on a Monday night in mid-November.

Beautiful free dispersed camping
It was beautiful and easy to get to, just recommend something a lil bigger than a sedan, it can make it, just kind of sketchy. Lots and lots of flies, keep that in mind, didn’t get a single bite but heard buzzing around our heads and near our food most of the time.
A little less privacy just because the open sites are pretty close to one another, just across the roads from each other, but enough privacy to feel comfortable, and it’s dispersed so remember there’s no facilities. Also states you can stay for 14 days.

Great free camping near Mount Charleston
Despite the misleading name of this place you don't have to be part of a reserved group to camp here! Plenty of small dirt roads with camping pull outs. Some of which have fire pits that can be used depending on the time of year. Some trash and some road noise but overall a great place to stay near Charleston!

Affordable but busy weekends
We stayed here 30 days at half price because we have a senior park pass.

Desert Eagle RV Park at Nellis Air Force Base: A Solid Option for RVers, Especially for Veterans and Retirees
I 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.

Nice big lot with some fire pits
Perfect for cars, vans, and trucks if you just need a legal place to park. Need to drive some gravel roads to get there. We were all alone when we went to sleep and the only light or noise was from the nearby highway. There’s scattered woody trash in the surrounding land so do your part and start a campfire with it. I found a pallet on the ground on my way in.
Heather L.LegendRed Rock Canyon National Conservation Area - Red Rock Campground
Terrific location, clean,and friendly!
I had been in this direction before and knew I wanted to camp here! It’s an easy drive from Los Angeles. We stopped right off the freeway at the super Walmart for supplies and then the campsite was only about 15min from there. Checking in with our incredibly friendly camp host was easy. The campsite was very clean and we had a fire pit. The bathrooms were also very clean! Red Rock State Park is only about 8 min away and I strongly suggest getting a scenic drive reservation. Once you go in you can spend the whole day there! Beautiful spot and pet friendly!

All good for a desert camp except the light pollution from Vegas city. Don’t expect to see desert night sky

It’s okay
This is a small desert campground. Drinking water but no water or dump for camper. Lots of cars in and out all night. Not sure why. Toilet but no showers. No electric.

Clean bathrooms, 10-15 degrees cooler than Vegas. Some trash left around campsites, but nothing disqualifying.

Easy to book for a last minute climbing trip. Great location right outside of Red Rocks. Clean facilities. No privacy. Can get pretty windy.

Red Rock Campground
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.

Good For An Overnight / Dirt Bike Playground
This is a good spot if you just need to stop for the night. It's a great alternative to a truck stop or a Walmart because a) apparently there's an ordinance and Vegas Walmarts don't allow overnight parking and b) it's so quiet here / no idling trucks all night.
This appears to be a popular spot for dirt bikers to come and play as well. There was a small group that parked here and went off to ride, then zoomed back and zipped around the hills and jumps in this spot before packing up and going home.
One other camper stayed the night here when we stayed here. Plenty of space for people to spread out and there's room for many campers and for large rigs.
This spot is ideal because it's easy access from the freeway and yet it's far away enough and blocked by a little hill, so you don't get the loud freeway noise (you do hear it, but it's not at all bothersome). Access from the freeway is doable for most rigs, just take it slow as there are some ruts and dips. It's .4 miles from the freeway to this spot.
Google maps doesn't seem to recognize the dirt road that will lead you straight from the freeway to this spot and will try and take you along a more roundabout path. Check satellite view and you will see where to get off the freeway.
Good cell service here as well.

Great dispersed camping near Las Vegas
For just being under an hour outside of Las Vegas this campsite met our needs beautifully. It wasn't very crowded when we went in early March. Still had patches of snow on the ground.

8 Mile road dispersed camping Lake Mead
While 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.

Long washboard road to trashy beaches
8 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
Trevor M.GuideRed Rock Canyon National Conservation Area - Red Rock Campground
Good jump off point for Red Rock
Nice campground with big sites. Some nice shade pavilions at a lot of the sites. Enough pit toilets for all. Water is available but no hookups. Nothing special but you can reserve sites online and the hosts are on top of things. I appreciate that.
If I could have a do over, I think that bikes would be a ton of fun at Red Rock. Also a few more days to explore it all.

Sites are not private by any stretch of the imagination, but the hosts were delightful, and there are water spigots outside the bathrooms (pit toilets).

Low Cost Nice Campground close to Las Vegas
If you get a chance take the scenic drive. The campground is just fine with vault toilets, and water but no showers, sewer dump, electric or other hookups. The location is very scenic. The facilities are well kept and the hosts on site are very nice. Many sites include a hard canopy over a paved patio, with picnic table and fire ring nearby. Each also had a large, level sand pad for pitching a tent.

Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Very quite
This 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.
