Fletcher View Campground is set in the beautiful Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, just 24 miles from Las Vegas. Visitors enjoy hiking, horseback riding and scenic driving in this forested desert oasis.
There is paved nature trail.
This recently updated campground is open year-round and contains several single and double-family sites, all of which have electric hookups, tables, campfire rings and grills. Drinking water is provided. Roads and parking spurs are paved.
Due to this campground being located in a flood plain, reservations are not available during the monsoon season (mid-July to mid-Sept.). During this time, overnight stays are available only as weather permits. High chances of rain in the forecast equal no overnight stays.
The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is a beautiful island in the desert, brimming with breathtaking scenery and diverse flora and fauna. The Bristlecone pine, the world's oldest organism, and the rare Mount Charleston blue butterfly are both found within the Spring Mountains.
More than 100 springs create the namesake for the mountain range. It's the perfect place to escape the heat of the city.
The campground is set in an open forest of ponderosa pine, mountain mahogany and Gambel oak, paralleling a seasonal stream and the highway. Most sites have views of the surrounding towering canyon walls.
More than 60 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails crisscross the area; two trails allow mountain biking. Rock climbing, picnicking and scenic driving are popular activities.
From Las Vegas, Nevada, travel north on Highway 95 to the junction with Highway 157/Kyle Canyon. Turn left and travel approximately 18 miles; campground is on the left side of the highway.
Very nice RV and tent camping sites available, the restrooms were well maintained, and convenient trails nearby the campgrounds. The traffic noise was loud during the day and somewhat disruptive during the evening while sleeping as the car noise was waking me up. We had an overall pleasant stay.
This campground is perfect for the quick getaway from Vegas. I had cell signal which was a plus on this trip because I was still needing to finish a few calls before shutting off for the weekend. The restrooms are very clean. The sites are well designed with firepits and tent pads. I was the only tent camper I saw. The rest were RVs. There is an easy trail that goes down to the picnic areas and farther down the road. There is also a more difficult trail that heads up the mountains. The one negative is it is close to the road but the cars just turn into white noise to me.
Excellent place to camp just make sure you have a reservation for almost the entire season as they are usually full only 11 spots but they are very well maintained campgrounds and the host is a great guy. Remember drinking water they only have water spicket’s alongside the road not sure if you can drink it
What a relaxation! To be able to escape the city to this wonderful but peaceful place. My niece invited me and I really had a nice but beautiful time with the family camping here for few days. Imagined, closed to 5,000 above sea level I sort of was running out of air. But thank God I hot use to it. You have come here. For the price of $99 it was worth it every moment. This place has breathtaking views of the mountains and and nice beautiful little town up the trail. I fully recommend this place. It was cold at nights but nice during the day. By the way there are wild horses running around. I love this place
