Whether you want to get away from the buzz of Vegas or you are coming to Vegas for a mix of the nightlife and nature, there are some amazing campgrounds near Las Vegas. Read on to find out where the absolute best camping is near Las Vegas, Nevada.

Absolute Best Camping Near the Vegas Strip:

1. Las Vegas KOA Journey at Sam’s Town: 7 miles to the Strip

The Las Vegas KOA is right next door to the Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino so you can enjoy a night at the casino and walk home to your RV for a restful sleep. There is a North Camp and a South Camp with similar amenities. The South Camp is the larger of the two. There’s a small pool and spa for guests as well as a small fenced-in dog run. Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino next door has an 18-screen theatre, bowling alley, Roxy’s lounge for shows and a food court. All within walking distance. This is not the place to stay if you want to get close to nature, it is more like a parking lot with a few cleverly placed trees, but you will be close to the action of Vegas.

2. Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort: 6.6 miles to the Strip

The Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort has an oasis feel to it with extensive landscaping with palm trees and waterfalls. The gated park has a “Casablanca” feel throughout. If you plan to stay awhile in Las Vegas this is a wonderful camping community. Located only 6 ½ miles south of the strip it is an easy access to Hwy 15 to the downtown strip. There are two large pools, a hot tub, clubhouse, several dog runs, an onsite café and a small golf course.

3. Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort: 7 miles to the Strip

Voted as one of the top 5 Luxury RV Resorts by USA Today in 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort really takes everything one step further. This resort only allows Class A Motorcoaches, so no Class B or C or bumper pulled campers. Each site has plenty of room for your Motorcoach plus an amazing patio buildout with thatch covered picnic area and BBQ grill. The grounds have 5 pools, hot tub, mini-golf, pickle ball, clubhouse, diner and a gated entrance.

4. Main Street Station RV Park: 6.8 miles to the heart of the Strip

If you want to stay north of the strip and be able to walk to the Freemont Strip Entertainment District, then this basic RV park is for you. It is a small parking lot of a campground with a few trees, but it’s right next door to the Main Street Casino Brewery and Hotel. When you stay at the RV park you also get access to the California Hotel’s pool and fitness area which is just a short walk away. If you plan on spending most of your time seeing Vegas instead of at the campground this is one of the absolute best places to stay!
