About
National Forest
Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest
Kyle Canyon Picnic Area is set in the beautiful Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, just 23 miles from Las Vegas. Visitors enjoy hiking, horseback riding and scenic driving in this forested desert oasis. Natural Features: The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is a beautiful island in the desert, brimming with breathtaking scenery and diverse flora and fauna. The Bristlecone pine, the worlds oldest organism, and the rare Mount Charleston blue butterfly are both found within the Spring Mountains. More than 100 springs create the namesake for the mountain range, making it an ideal place to escape the heat of the city. The picnic area is set in an open forest of ponderosa pine, mountain mahogany and Gambel oak, which provides partial shade. Manzanita and wild roses dot the landscape. A seasonal stream and the highway parallels the area. Most sites have views of the surrounding towering canyon walls. Recreation: The 1.6-mile Fletcher Canyon Trail begins nearby. Facilities: This year-round picnic area contains several single and double sites, four of which are accessible. Sites are equipped with a picnic table, campfire ring and grill. Flush toilets and drinking water are provided. Roads and parking spurs are paved. Nearby Attractions: More than 60 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails crisscross the area; two trails allow mountain biking. Rock climbing, picnicking and scenic driving are popular activities.

TravelerNice location, Great sites and facilities
Roomy site for my SUV with a rooftop tent. Great views of the nearby mountains. Clean and easy to get to. Great quick getaway from Las Vegas.
LegendGreat camping spot
Didn't camp here this week. Tried to avoid the holiday weekend campers. Usually pretty full on weekends but early in week is not to bad to find a spot. To get out of Vegas for a shory time, I split my time between this spot and Hilltop campground. This place is a lot more dense to block out some wind then Hilltop. Great facilities and camping is between $12-$36 a night. Higher rates for weekend. All sites are earshot from road, but after 6pm, gets pretty quiet.

LegendThe mountain life
All of mount Charleston Is so pretty once you get off the Main Street and get out and explore. All the camp grounds and picnic areas are well kept and maintained very well. Not to mention all the cool trails you find. It’s cold because of the cold weather we have been having so make sure you bundle up and prepare yourself well enough. This area is day use only as of right now. The rangers are not sure when it will Be opened for the camping season but this is also a campground not just day use so make sure you check that it’s open for camping. It’s all first come first serve and it’s the cheapest place on the mountain when it is open for camping. The ranger said April or may they will open but not sure on a date yet. 12 during the week and 18 weekend prices. If you have a big spot I recommend the double spots, all spots are great for RVs no hook ups but they have tables, grills and fire rings. Super nice camp host bob who is there and super helpful. Keep enjoying nature and taking care of her along the way! Cheers
