  Eight Mile Dispersed Camping near Government Wash — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Boondocking

  8 mile is just like Government Wash. Free boondocking with a 7 day limit. There is a dumpster at the front but no bathroom or other facilities. Hike out what you hike in. You could tent camp here or any size RV so long as you find a level spot to park.

  Coyotes are very present so I personally wouldn't tent camp anywhere here but I saw several people with no problems tent camping.

  There is a no break law in effect but some people still seem to leave broken glass around so be mindful. The water is close. I didn't go far enough to see of this road leads to the water. The road is very rough so I parked as soon as I was able in a class B. There were some fast trucks coming in and out as it was the weekend and the weather was perfect.

  Willow Beach Rv Park — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Over priced ripoff

  $80 RV, $45 tent camping with No shade, CG is not even on the lake. Total crazy stupid ripoff by a pvt hospitality company leasing the NPS camping area.

  Atlatl Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park

  Find a campsite hidden within the boulders!

  Stayed here in March when the weather was perfect. They have rv sites and tent camping. I typically pull my rig, but decided on tent camping for this adventure. Midweek there was plenty of sites to choose from. I was able to find a site that was situated between two large boulder areas, so I was completely secluded and had full privacy. The sites are already spaced out, but the extra barrier made me feel like I had the place to myself. The petroglyphs are a short drive or a good walking distance from the campsites. The facilities were clean and water spots throughout sites. Highly recommend camping at this place anytime but summer months, as it can get hot!

  Desert Pass Campground

  Nice to escape heat

  Need a capable vehicle to get here. Toilets were clean and there was paper but don't count on it. There are about a half dozen sites mostly geared towards tent camping. Kind of dispersed.

  Boulder Beach Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Good getaway spot

  it's inside lake mead. easy access and plenty of camping spots for trailer/rv and tent camping. Nice walk to the lake. There are restrooms. What I didnt like was no night attendant. We had someone parked in our spot. overall it's a good family camping spot.

  Walk-in Site #21

  We were tent camping in #21 which is a walk-in site and my fav of the three walk sites of this area. Only about a 45 second walk but there are only three campsite on this side of the rocks and it’s quiet. Once spigot for water. Trash cans. 2 mins walk to the bathroom. Tent pad, fire pit, grill, picnic table. It was perfect.

  Willow Beach Rv Park — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Great get away.

  Stayed in site C3. A very clean and well maintained campground. Visited in December and spent 3 night. Full hook ups for all drive thru and back in camp sites. There are tent sites also and everything is well maintained. There are tables and fire pits  at all sites and lantern pole in all tent sites. Very quiet, within walking distance to Lake Mead, but all up hill on the way back. Great scenery, and a lot of recreational things at the marina.  Boat, kayak, paddleboard rentals are available. Fishing dock close by. Can even visit the fish hatchery up river, which is a short walk. Store with about everything you need and a small restaurant. Campground has showers and laundry. They take passes and the price is going up next season. But still a good deal especially with a pass. Reservations thru the Campground website. No cell service, but internet is available. Will be going back.

  Boulder Beach Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Large campground with limited amenities

  I spent one night at this campground as I was passing through the area and assumed a campground this size would at least have shower facilities. It is a typical large more for RV than tent camping sites but was OK for a one night stay only because of the view (note only a few of the front sites have a decent view of the lake).

  Boulder Beach Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Boulder Beach Campground

  It’s a very large campground with a good amount of trees in some locations. There are plenty of bathrooms and places to get water, no showers though. Lots of places for RV’s to park, so keep this in mind when tent camping, there is a lot of people RV camping right next to you. I enjoyed the convenience of the location but it was not a quiet camp ground.

  Boulder Beach Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  There is a campground and RV Village next to eachother

  The Dyrt has the listing for the same spot. There are two completely different areas, the campground site is directly next to the RV village. The campground has potable water spots throughout and is completely shaded with lots of foliage. The RV village has a few permanent residents, but there are many spots in the front, rear and side of the village for rv campers. There was no tent camping in the RV village, but you can tent camp in the regular campground next to it. The best spots are right in front of the village, which had at least 20 spots that are able to be reserved. Full hookups in the RV village. All front spots are on concrete pads, so no guessing if your rig is balanced. There is a little general store on property and its also where you check in. Went in the spring, when the weather isn't too bad at Lake Mead. You can walk to the lake, but it is a looooong walk. You can drive your vehicle right onto the lake shore and park directly next to the lake. I did this a few times when there. It was great to back up the truck, open the tail gate and sit right on the lake shore. Boulder City is a short drive with plenty of food and activities to check out.

  Fun Tent or RV Camping

  The campsite is very clean and pretty. We were tent camping and cooking in the provided firepit or on out coleman stovetop. The extra stand for the stove was great and freed up table space for dining and cards. The level tent spots are great. Wild horses came by our tent at night and kept us awake for a short time. Cool to see though. The bristlecone loop trail nearby was an easy to moderate 6 mile trek. I wish there was a shower since we got very sweaty from or hikes. They do have nice clean restrooms and plenty of water to fill up my portable shower.

  Very nice for the location

  This place has all the basic amenities you will need. There is no tent camping, only rigs. The prices start around $40 a night with hookups. They did have security patrolling through the park, so that is a plus for the location. Everything was clean and well kept. They do allow up to two pets, however, large dogs and aggressive breeds are not allowed. "Don't follow the GPS coordinates on The Dyrt app." It lead me right into the middle of the neighborhood next to the facility.  Not cool when pulling a trailer.

  Open and beautiful surroundings

  Visited today and this campsite is open. The other site Arch Rock is still closed. This area has tent and rv spots, as well as walk in tent sites along the back against the boulders. Very clean campsite and facilities. Many rv sites appeared to be almost perfectly level. Plenty of space between sites and lots of room to easily park a trailer and park your vehicle. Had many pull thrus for those large rigs. Water and electric hookups. Dump site is located at the entrance.

  Atlatl Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park

  Beautiful rock formations

  If you stay here stay in an RV . The tent sites are exposed to the elements and you have to pitch your tent on sharp rocks. When we stayed in our RV it was a great experience. The way the campground is set up the rock formations block your views from your neighbors so you feel very secluded. The hikes we so much fun here. We hiked up to fire wave, the elephant, and hiked the prospect trail. Late fall is the perfect time to go so you don't melt.

  Super clean

  A really nice and clean park. Super impressed. They have a pool, laundry and dog relief areas. Nice designated parking for your vehicles as well. The staff is super nice and accommodating not to mention the sites are being totally sanitized after each use(the hook up boxes and grounds being raked) Please lock your belongings this is not the best part of town like I’ve said about Boulder highway before. Your about 10 minute drive to down town Las Vegas and about 15 minute drive to the strip. Oh and NO tent camping allowed either it’s a law here.

  Clark County Shooting Park

  Full Hookups next to the range

  This campsite is on the Clark County Shooting Complex property. It has 62 RV spots with hookups. There is a 14 day max on staying with a 24 hour break before you can stay another 14 days. Ensures others get the chance to stay at this location. The cost is $30 per night. The place is secure and well-maintained. You have full access to come and go when the facility is closed if you are staying at the RV site. I didn't notice any tent camping areas, but all the RV sites were lined up with no shade/trees.

  An oaisis in the dessert

  Very nice spot for tent camping. Each space has a large concrete picnic table and bar b q grill along with a nice fire pit and metal table for your camping stove. There is a 10:00 pm quite time so if you are looking for a place to party this is not it, but if you are looking for a place to relax surrounded by ponderosa pines then you have found the place. There is no hook ups for RVs but in the summer the night tempartures are in the low 60s so no need for air conditioning.

  Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area - Red Rock Campground

  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.

  Perfect Spot

  This campground is pretty magical with forest ponies wandering in the woods.  At night the stars are incredible and I usually see multiple shooting stars.  I camped here one night during a meteor shower and it was awesome.

  The bathrooms are clean and have flush toilets with sinks.  There are water faucets throughout the grounds and water tastes really good.

  I've seen horses, donkeys, deer and squirrels here.  The tent sites are nice and clean and lots of dumpsters for garbage.  The camp host is also very nice.

  Lake Mead RV Village — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  RV Park and campgrounds

  First, there are two areas. The RV park and the campground. The RV park has all your amenities and full hookups. Store, propane and great views of Lake Mead. If you are able to reserve a rv pad nearest the lake, you will be in for a treat. All spots have full hookup and picnic table. You have full unobstructed view of the lake from these pads.

  The campground is separate from the RV park, but located directly next to it...really adjoining. Separate fees go to the National Park for camping. Currently, showers are not running. Has many pull thrus for rigs, as well as tent camping. Plenty of shade and spaces are not to close.

  Truly a experience!!

  If you like camping this is a must go to spot. Landscape is unlike any other, millions of years of erosion to create a breathtaking environment. They have both tent sites and RV sites. It does cost but there’s a self kiosk you can pay at. You can’t go wrong with any spot to camp at but the one’s towards the back were better in my opinion. They do have three spots in the back that are tents only that are pretty sweet spots. But overall it was a experience I will never forget and I will definitely be returning multiple times, especially since it’s only an hour away from Las Vegas. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Willow Beach Rv Park — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Campground

  This is a fairly new camping area. Offers full hook ups as well as tent only camping. Landscaping and spacing is really nicely done. Camp ground also offers clean toilet and shower area accessible only by keycard. You get the key card when you check in. Also has a laundry facility. The Marina offers boat, kayak, canoe and paddle board rentals but reserve in advance!! Advance reservations for full hook up is also a must! Campground is quite. All sites have a picnic table and campfire ring. Tent sites also have poll for lamp. Small store at marina offers bait, food for camping souvenirs and firewood. Also a restaurant with a full service bar. Must wear face mask to go into either.

  Great site in a beautiful and under rated park

  This campground was perfect for us. We stayed for a week while I worked remotely. Although there was very little cell reception, there was good WiFi at a reasonable price. The internet, power, water, and showers (even in December) were all steady. And while I worked, my husband hiked the park. Lots of beautiful trails to explore and rocks to climb (at all levels of difficulty)!

  The only criticism I have is that I wish that some of the tent sites offered electric, too. We were just van camping and really didn't need a whole RV spot, but those were the only ones with power.

  All in all, a great site!

  Boulder Beach Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

  Perfect little getaway

  Took my kids and my mom camping for a little vacation away from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. I chose Boulder Beach campground as it was our first time and didn't want to be too far from home. It was perfect!! It was quiet, relaxing and no one was around us so it felt really secluded. At night we watched the bats flutter about and heard a lot of coyotes far off. When we woke in the morning, we had the most beautiful view of the lake. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to go again!! Only thing I wish we had access to were showers. There are bathrooms all over and water spigots really close to the campsites, but if you're tent camping plan ahead for no showers.

  Wifi and Showers

  We camp here when we rent kayaks to go on the river.  They have showers, bathrooms and wifi which is really convenient due to spotty cell reception.  I feel like the spots are a little tightly packed (I am a tent camper) and I also feel like its a little pricey - I think the last time I camped here I paid 30 dollars a night for a tent site.  They do have online reservations and they tend to fill up quickly especially in the springtime which is the nicest time of year to camp here.  

  I've never seen coyotes here or have been bothered by any wildlife at all.  I also really appreciate that people here keep their dogs leashed so they don't come roaming into my site.  My dog likes people but she doesn't like other dogs.

  Great Access To Colorado River To Launch Your Adventure

  I had been staying in this area for a while searching for various campsites and had been to the Arizona Hot Springs a couple times, continually seeing people pulling in via boat and never knew where they were launching from, until I found this place. it seems like this place is where it all begins for those adventures.

  With much of the area being desolate looking around, this was like an oasis just waiting to be discovered. It isn't that there is some magic lawn that spawns up out of the desert sands and makes it look like something it isn't, though there is grass that isn't what I am speaking on. Instead it is that this place is very commercial in comparison to almost every other campground in this area, much of which are barebones and basic. This site however has nice showers and bathrooms, a restaurant, gift shop, a marina, fishing dock, boat rentals and a laundry. Unlike so many campgrounds the sites here are also WIFI ready.

  The tent site I checked out was $30 but included access to the ramp which is why a lot of people choose this site for their adventures. This is one of the best launch areas in way of well maintained sites you will find on this side of the Lake Mead Recreational Area.

  I enjoyed a great shower here with amazing pressure, had awesome night sky views down by the water and finally was able to figure out just where all these people were getting their water fix. Not to mention there was some great access to rock scrambling along the shore line for some amazing peaceful places to relax and take in the clearness of the water.

  TIPS:

  • Come early or call in advance, there are only 6 tent sites. Everything else is set up for an RV.

  • Check out their discounts available for veterans which is a great deal.

  Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area - Red Rock Campground

  Open seasonally for groups or singles

  Summer time might not be the best time to try to camp in southern Nevada but with mild fall and winter this campsite leaves a lot of options for those looking for an outdoor adventure.

  I spent much of early spring at Red Rock enjoying the facilities, the hiking, the vistas and yes the camping. This campground does accept reservations for group sites however individual sites are walk up first come first serve and with those mild weekends they do fill up quickly. Weekdays are suggested if you can make it out as it is a bit easier to get a site during those days.

  One thing most do not consider with camping at this location is the proximity to the Las Vegas strip and all the tourists which that includes. This campsite is coveted and many who wish to venture beyond the brights lights find themselves at this nationally acclaimed facility.

  A few things to also consider before traveling here:

  1- No cell servIce at the campground for any provIder, fact is unless you hike to the peaks you wIll not fInd any cell service for miles.

  2- Campground sometimes appears full when in fact people are parking here instead of camping so do not get turned away without a quick once through the campground itself.

  3- No hookups for electrIcal or water at individual sItes. If you must have power you will want to consider alternative sources.

  RV campers as well as tent campers are able to stay at thIs locatIon however It does sway a bIt more toward tent campIng In way of spacing and availabilIty.

  Cost to camp are $15 for single tent campers like myself. ThIs Includes a pIcnIc table and awning but more Importantly proximity to the park itself. Most don’t inquire about stay length but for a blogger lIke myself I had to know and elected to ask, because who wouldnt want the best vIews In the area as long as possIble! 14 days!!
