Las Vegas Valley Boondocking

Though Las Vegas is surrounded by BLM administered public lands, much of it is closed to camping and the following BLM map shows closed to camping areas in the valley.

Up Kyle Canyon, Lee Canyon, and especially Cold Creek roads are some nice boondocking sites NW of town.

To the SW of town on the west side of the Spring Mountains and north of Nevada highway 160 up Lovell Canyon Road (20 miles west of the Strip)are numerous boondocking sites at 5500+ ft the national forest.

South of highway 160 heading to Good Springs are some nice spots for those willing to explore.
  • WOW!!! Thanks

    These might come in handy as we sometimes have to wait for an opening at our regular spot that's in town.
