Many of the BLM and NFS CG's in NV are first come, first served. Except on busy weekends, you'll often have the whole campground to yourself. In NV, most (if not all) of the SP's are also first come, first served. Some CG's are actually at a little higher elevation and not quite so hot. Plus the desert cools off at night.
Are these just places to stop while passing through to see you, or are they looking to vacation at these places?
This.
Check uscampgrounds.info
for a good list of public campgrounds. It gives elevations of the campgrounds, which is a good way to hunt for something cooler.
