Answer
The Spring Mountains are nice - they have developed (Forest Service) campgrounds in both Lee and Kyle Canyons. Of course, you could also hike up the North or South Loop (to Charleston Peak) or the Bonanza Trail (up to Bonanza Peak) trails and camp out away from people, too.

Valley of Fire State Park is about 1.5 hours (or so) north off of I-15. Lots of nice camping in developed campsites.

Lake Mead has some campgrounds, too - but they tend to attract a loud party element.

If you want to drive a little bit, there's lots of stuff up in southern Utah (Zion, etc.).

Camping in Lake Mead NRA near Hwy. 93?

Traveling from Grand Canyon to Las Vegas airport, then to Zion N.P. Want to pitch a tent somewhere so we have an easy morning drive to the airport. I see campgrounds on Lake Mead, but better would be somewhere close to the highway, maybe along the river below the dam. Any suggestions? How about Boulder City, NV? Might we have better luck finding a campsite on the Nevada side?


Answer
The only campground I know of is on the Nevada side. It's close to a major road the 93 which will feed into the airport...just watch for signs. This is the best time of year to camp around the lake it's not hot and just about perfect!!!
