Nevada- when you first think of it- maybe a bit underrated with a seemingly one stop destination–Vegas. However, this state has a lot more to offer than just one city, in fact, there are some unforgettable views, destinations and activities to do. If you love to take your RV out camping, here are eleven fantastic places you must go to make your vacation rich with memories that only Nevada can offer.

1. Canyon Trail RV Park

The first spot to be on your camping adventure radar is located in Boulder City. This is one of the coolest places to vacation on this side of Nevada for a couple of reasons.

The Hoover Dam is located just a few miles away and Vegas is only about 20 miles from this campground (if you must go try your hands at the slots.) So, even though you’re out camping, doesn’t mean you can’t catch an awesome magic show while out.

The price range for this place is super economical- it includes the price for two people a night. They also offer monthly pricing if you want to stick around for a while.

Nightly, for two people is $48 dollars with an added $4.00 per additional person (12 years old & older). If you are also a super saver, they offer a 10% discount for AAA, Good Sam, Coachman’s, and Military members.

The weather in Nevada is great especially in the spring or fall where it is a little cooler in this part of the state. However, if you do decide to go in the dead of summer, Lake Mead is right around the corner to help you cool off.

As a full-service RV park, all your camping needs will be met and with friendly staff. They have large pull-through sites, full hookups for sewer, water, and electric. Dump stations are also located nearby.

If you packed too much, don’t worry, there is overflow parking so if you want to drop off a car or two the site has accommodations.

Among these perks, the Canyon Trail RV Park has free internet and digital cable that will help you stay connected to either friends or work.

Each site comes with access to 30 & 50 amp hookups, showers, and a laundry station. If you are looking for an extra bit of pampering, you can access the Canyon Trail’s pool and spa. Not to mention after you’re done having a blast in the pool, a BBQ area is located nearby for dinner with the family.

If you are looking for something to do outside the park Bootleg Canyon, Boulder City Golf Course, and Club, Racquetball complex. tennis courts, hiking trails are located nearby!

2. Las Vegas RV Resort

With over 300 positive reviews, you won’t be disappointed with the Las Vegas RV Resort. For the last nine years, they have got nothing but 10’s from Good Sam, voted top twelve best RV parks, and top-rated in local Vegas polls you won’t want to miss out.

As an Adults-only RV resort, it’s a fun place to spend some time with your friends while the kids spend a few nights at grandma’s house.

Located just minutes from the Strip, this is a super fun location to have a blast all summer. The clubhouse is equipped with plenty of tables and chairs for you to play cards or checkers with your friends–good practice time before actually going to Vegas.

The Las Vegas RV Resort has full hookups and accommodations for pull-thrus and slide outs. Some amenities include a relaxing pool and spa, laundry, immaculate restrooms, a 24-hour guard, fitness center, pet area, and picnic tables at every site as well as planned activities you can do at the park for fun!

If all this wasn’t enough, this resort uses tankless water heaters, energy efficient washers and dryers and solar heating for the swimming pools so you and your green thumb feel right at home.

Rates are unbeatable here. A standard night is 32.00 US dollars if you have an XL site they accommodate with a 55.00 dollar charge. It is a first come, first serve site, however, you can stay monthly.

They charge a monthly fee of electricity, water, etc. if you want to be a long term tenant, however, if you spend less in energy costs than what the monthly charge is, you will be reimbursed for what you didn’t use!

A helpful tip to know about this site is that they require good-great condition rigs no more than 15 years old.

3. Cathedral Gorge State Park

One of the most amazing sites to go and camp near is the Cathedral Gorge State Park in Lincoln County, Nevada. These clay formations are formed from years of erosion.

The park is named Cathedral Gorge because the rock has eroded into pillars that look like church spires. After all those years, nature created a maze of breathtaking formations. Needless to say, bring your camera.

Definitely, this is a more rustic site than a resort, but you couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. The formations are unique and make you feel like you are on another planet! It’s that cool!

Camping is available with 22 sites, however, they don’t do reservations. Group accommodations are available, so you can go to your family reunion here and have a ball.

For the outdoor amenities enjoy hiking, picnicking, and just having some good old “getting in tune with nature” moments. Do you vibe? For each day you are there it is $25.00 dollars, 15 per nightly sleep and 10 dollars for utility hookups.

Some activities to check out while you are here are the following; first is the Visitor’s Center. The Park Rangers know all the cool details to help you maximize your time while here. They can tell you the history of the formations and how you can have a safe, fun time exploring this wonder of Nature’s.

Second, hiking trails located near this park are fun for any age. The Bullionville Cemetery trail is a little less than a half mile long, but you get to see the cemetery that has been there since the 1800s.

Miller Point trail is another hike (two miles round trip) that has a beautiful overlook and goes through a canyon.

However, if you want something a little longer go check out the Juniper Draw Loop trail. It’s about 4 miles long and can’t be missed.

Eagle Point Trail is a 1.6-mile hike that is extremely scenic and easy on the legs.

Some of the coolest formations here include the Cathedral, Moon, and Canyon Caves. Although not technically caves because they aren’t enclosed, the steep walls and crisscrossing trail gives you the feeling you are deep in the earth.

You won’t be able to stay at this site to camp for more than two weeks in a 30 day period but, they are happy for you to come back! It is open every. single. day. all year round so you can just keep coming around.

4. Sun Resorts RV Park

Located in the lush, mountainous area of Mesquite Nevada, this park is a must visit! Palm trees galore! Even though it’s not Hawaii, you’ll definitely feel like you’re getting the sunny vacation you’ve always wanted and in the comfort of your RV!

Located near some of the coolest golfing and casino places, you’ll have a blast outside the confines of your RV.

This site has full hookups, 30 & 50 amp services, water and sewer, laundry facilities, cable TV, a dog run (whooo! Pet-friendly!), putting green, WiFi, clubhouse, showers, bathrooms and last but not least, a pool table.

Sun Resorts isn’t just nice for you and your vacation buddies, but it’s also nice for your wallet. Prices range from $32 dollars per day, $200 weekly, and if you want to stay for a few months it is about $550 US dollars per month.

Even outside of the resort you have a lot of options to adventure! Valley of Fire State Park is just south of Mesquite which has sandstone formations formed long ago…like 150 million years ago.

Zion Canyon National and State park are nearby in Ivins, Utah which is really close for an excursion. Not to mention the close proximity of Lake Mead with the Hoover Dam! You can go boating, fishing, swimming, etc! Or if you’re feeling historical and want to see an old mining town, Gold Butte Back Country Byway is located near Lake Mead.

Not forgetting about the casinos nearby, but if you’re traveling with kids or youth and wanting somewhere family friendly, plenty of museums and yummy restaurants are in the area to take them to. Luckily, a lot of places are with in walking distance, so you can enjoy the day car for a little longer!

5. Valley of Fire State Park

The Valley of Fire State Park is a great place to camp if Sun Resorts RV park isn’t rustic enough for you. Located near Moapa Valley and unbelievably close to Lake Mead, this is a beautiful desert location to spend a few nights.

With 24 hour access to the campgrounds, you are sure to have a blast here. 40,000 acres of Aztec sandstone outcrops are quite the sight to see! Make sure to check out the Visitor’s Center to get the full scoop of how nature crafted this area!

Groups are welcome, but make sure you call ahead for a reservation–they only have about three group sites, fitting about 45 people. You can also arrange to have special programs given to your groups upon request.

I’m not sure what it is about Nevada and it’s awesome park locations, but this location is also open seven days a week, 365 beautiful days of the year. It pays to have a park in a warm location!

Speaking of “paying” the rates for this place go as follows; camping is $20.00 US dollars per night and an additional $10 US dollars for sites that have utility hookups.

6. Whiskey Flats RV Park

The staff can give you the details for what the usage cost for what you need would be without reservations! You won’t be the first one that has enjoyed this perk!

Because of it’s more rustic and rural location, you can take your ATV or four wheelers out sightseeing. Expect to see some wildlife!

An abandoned mining town is also nearby, giving visitors a glimpse into the past to what the old prospectors were up to!

Whiskey Flats has a ton of adventurous local events and activities as well. Golfing tournaments, a Vegas to Reno off-road race, an Armed Forces Day parade, and other general events are a must see!

In contrast to a lot of Nevada’s desert-like terrain, here you get to see the lush outdoors. Did I mention it has a breathtaking beach? It’s the perfect balance between the woods and the ocean.

RVs are allowed, however, the use of off-road vehicles aren’t allowed. Because of the area’s lushness, a lot of wildlife including bears roam freely, so although it is beautiful to watch nature in action, tie up or store your food in a safe place.

8. Great Basin National Park

The Great Basin National Park is one of the neatest places to camp due to its variety not only in wildlife but in terrain. With a handful of beautiful groves, guided cave tours, and the most breathtaking skies you’ll see highlighted by mountains, you will love your stay here.

You can actually camp in five different developed locations; Upper Lehman Creek, Lower Lehman Creek, Baker Creek, Grey Cliffs, and Wheeler Park. Each campground has the same amenities so it comes down to your preference and when you are going.

Lower Lehman Creek is the only site open year round. The other sites are open from about May to October each year depending on the weather.

All RV camping is on a first come, first serve basis. The RV camping sites all come equipped with vault toilets, picnic tables, tent pads, and campfire grills. Even though there aren’t any hookups, the sanitary station is fully equipped with a dump station, potable water access, and trash receptacles.

The fees for this site are well worth the location. Coming to $15.00 US dollars a night per site (developed campground) and as needed an additional $5.00 dollar sanitary station fee. If you are a senior citizen or an Access Pass holder, you get a discount! Whoot!

Showers are available outside the park at the following locations: Whispering Elms Motel, Campground & RV Park, the Baker Sinclair Gas Station, and the Border Inn.

If you visit the Lehman Caves year-round guided tours are given, except on Christmas and Thanksgiving. It takes about an hour to complete the tour only being about .4 miles long making valuable memories with the kids.
