Mahogany Grove Campground is set in the beautiful Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, just 40 miles from downtown Las Vegas. Visitors enjoy hiking, horseback riding and scenic driving in this forested desert oasis.
The North Loop-Mt. Charleston National Recreation Trail begins less than a mile away. Robber's Roost Trailhead is nearby as well. The Spring Mountains Visitor Center is a short drive from the campground, offering guided hikes and educational programs.
The campground was reconstructed and now contains six group sites, picnic and serving tables, grills, campfire circles, and tent pads. The sites are tent only, with lot-style parking. This means there are short distances to carry equipment to the campsites. Vault toilets are provided. Roads and parking areas are paved.
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, making it an ideal place to escape the heat of the city.
The campground is situated so campers are awarded sweeping views of the Spring Mountains. Stands of juniper and mountain mahogany forest the site, providing privacy from the highway but only limited shade.
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, take Highway 95 north to the junction with Highway 157/Kyle Canyon. Turn left and travel approximately 18 miles to junction with Highway 158/Deer Creek. Turn right and travel approximately 6 miles to the campground.
Beautiful site. There is no running water of any kind so remember to bring plenty for drinking and cleaning.
Description said no water. Bring your own. Toilets were clean. Campsites were nice. Will definitely be back.
My 13 year old daughter and I decided last second to go camping. We packed up at sunset wondered around to all the other camp site which were full or closed. And thank goodness because it led us to this one!!!! Beautifully kept up! Clean! Spacious! We had such a great time. My daughter and I are use to roughing it. So that fact of no water, electricity, or cell service didn't bother us a bit. We like it that way!!!
I WILL BE BACK AGAIN!!!!
The sites are huge with lots of parking and picnic benches. The grill is extra large. The bathrooms are the pit kind without running water but did not smell too bad. Views were beautiful with lots of space between other groups. Note that they do not have running water but rangers told us we could bring containers and fill from a neighboring campsite. Rangers were friendly and helpful.
