Red Rock Canyon Campground

The camp host was SO KIND. She was so so so helpful when we had issues with our site. She truly saved our trip.

We stayed off and on in a van at this campground in the month of December in both RV sites and regular sites. We have also tent camped in the walk in previously in 2023. Overall, this is a great experience, but agree with many other reviewers that the rules are confusing, there are often open sites (despite the sign ALWAYS saying it's full) and lack of visibility of camp hosts. When we first arrived for the series of stays, I walked to the office multiple times/days to get the parking pass that "must" be displayed but it was more than 5 days until the hosts were there. After that, we just gave up and didn't worry about checking in. Every time we entered the campground, without fail, the full sign was on, but there were plenty of sites in the walk in and appeared to be several open sites in the other parts (though I suppose cars/RVs could've arrived late/left early). One night was so windy many tents were blown throughout the campground and this was also our experience when we tent camped in the past - tie everything down very securely. Toilets were clean and the area is quiet. Verizon cell coverage was very, very spotty. Overall vibe is very chill.

On Sunday morning, I went around the campground and counted 8 sites that were no shows. This should not be allowed to happen. People that have reservations should all be required to report in two days before their arrival date and, if they don't do that by midnight, their site should be placed back on the reservation list, as available. Also the group campground is very under utilized and should be converted to individual sites. Two smaller sites that accomodate a maximum of 6 vehicles should be included. There is plenty of room for campground expansion and that should be done. With the obesity, diabetis and phone addiction in this country more outside recreacional activities should be provided, not less, even at the expense of overcrouding. Many of the people coming to red rocks are hikers so more trails should be provided like the loop trail in Pine Canyon.

I had to cancel my trip. I notified the day of arrival that I would be late by a Day or two. The second day I contacted campground to ask for a cancelation and a refund. I never got a response or money back. They never once reached out to me.

I loved how in the rv section you feel like you have the place to yourself with only 4 rv sites spread out. It's a beautiful area in the desert surrounded by mountains and the campground was clean and nice. However, I had expected to be able to fill up my drinking water in my rv since the campground says it has drinking water and this was a specific rv area I stayed in, albeit a dry area. However you are not allowed to fill up your tank and it would have been nice to know in advance. We used pots and pans but it was a little walk for it maybe 100- 200 yards where the portapotties also were. I might have chosen a site in the regular camping area instead as there were more spikets spread out and many sites had covers which the rv area didn't. However you are very close to explore both red rock canyon and las vegas from here. I'd definitely come back - but with water in my tank!!

Clean and quiet.
