Best Camping spot for first time campers near Vegas.?




Crystal


so my 4 year old daughter recently decided that she reallllllyyy wanted to go camping (thanks a lot Dora).. anyways I figured it was time to start planning a fun family get away, I've been camping as a kid and loved it! but im a little worried since it will only be my daughter and myself and maybe my mom, no man to scare away the big bears, or get the fire started. So i guess my question is there a reasonably priced family friendly camping area anywhere near Mesquite Nevada. Id like to stay fairly close to home so closer than 200 miles id say. I would really like to take my daughter fishing if at all possible. So i guess we are looking for something like this:
*tent camping
* not to far from home
* Close enough to other people in case we needed help :) Lil but far enough apart to fell like we are actually camping.
* fishing :)
* I guess just a good first time camp spot! if there is such a thing! Ive looked at bryce canyon online but didn't find a lot of info.

Update :
If Zion is too civilized to your liking then you may want o think about using campsites in Dixie National Forest

Answer
Zion National Park has three campgrounds. South and Watchman Campgrounds are in Zion Canyon. The Lava Point Campground is about a 1-hour drive from Zion Canyon on the Kolob Terrace Road.

South Campground is $16/night

Watchman Campground:
-Electric campsites are $18.00 per night.
-Riverside electric campsites are $20.00 per night.
-Tent only campsites are $16.00 per night.
This is the only campsite that allows you to make reservations.

Lava Point Campground is free, but there are only 6 sites, first come, first served.
