RV Park suggestions in Las Vegas, NV

[foovay]

My husband and I have been living full time in our Class C RV for three years. Recently we moved to Las Vegas, NV in order to get the health care that he needs. What I didn't know then is that NO campground here will allow you to stay with an RV over 10 years old. My RV is a 1975 Dodge Class C. It's very livable, and dependable transportation even, but not the prettiest ever.

We are quiet people who keep to ourselves. We try to leave any place we stay nicer than it was when we moved in. We are drug free. My husband is on full disability and is on in clinic hemodialysis. His new clinic and new doctors are in downtown Las Vegas and we ride the public bus system rather than try to drive a Class C around town. Since we can't seem to find a campground we have had to rent an apartment that costs over 3/4 of our income. We are literally now having to choose, his prescriptions, or the high protein diet he requires to survive on dialysis. Most weeks, I live on one dozen eggs. Two a day. Because he HAS to eat well or die.

Because he worked most of his life, he receives a "good" SSD income, which means that we are not eligible for ANY state assistance.

I am so desperate that I may have to sell our RV soon. Then we will be at risk of being homeless as well as food insecure. Homelessness is a DEATH SENTENCE for my husband.

Please, help me. I desperately need to find a campground or park where we can park our older RV and have a lot rent we can afford. I can not make a deposit either - we are barely living at this point and I don't have a few hundred to spare laying around!

It must be close enough to at least the outskirts of Las Vegas for us to be able to walk to a bus stop so he can get to his dialysis treatments three days a week.

WE ARE NOT TRAILER TRASH OR CRAPPY CRIMINAL PEOPLE. We are simply quiet people who want to have a decent life and keep my husband alive. But I'm not proud, I'll live anywhere if it means he will be able to survive. The RV is not self contained so we cannot go live on BLM, even if there were any close enough to his dialysis.

You're my last hope. I don't want to sell the RV. But I can't afford for us to continue living here.

So far the only park I have found is Midway Trailer Park in Las Vegas, but they are full. They have been telling me for three months they will have an opening soon. Then when the date comes, they do not have an opening. Please help us. Thank you.

I do wish there was a slam dunk easy answer. All I can do is wish you the best.
We stay at Sam's Town KOA when in LV but that probably is no help either, sorry.

Nope. I'm just as confused.

Folks here seem to be wishing her the best. She's in a stressful situation though, which can cause unpredictable behavior. I hope nobody holds this against her and hopefully we can continue to provide constructive answers to any more questions she may have.

Even the insulting ones that assume I asked here before picking up a phone book or walking into an RV park. Or planning a trip cross country and living in the State Parks and BLM in New Mexico for two years.

I'm not going to be visiting again, so no need for more suggestions.

Please point out the insulting ones!:h

All the responses I see are actual attempts to help you.

If that insults you, maybe you dont want any help.

She posted similar threads on at least 2 other web sites, and on each said she was not returning - perhaps she's gone. 😞

The Thousand Trails Las Vegas park definitely allows older rigs.

I don't know about seasonal/annual sites there, though.

Stayed twice at Hitchin' Post, North L.V. Good clean place. Close to Air base, so in daytime lotsa jet noise (which does not bother us).

God bless you and your husband. Have you looked into a "Mobile Home" or regular "trailer" park? I don't know about LV but there are some here in NM that accept "long-term" RVs and even have a separate area for them. Is it possible for your husband to receive treatment at another facility in a different area?

[catkins]

Sometimes a current picture and some bio info can get you approval to stay longer term. Can't hurt to ask. 10 year rule is to make sure RVs look decent in their park. Best wishes for success.

[foovay]

Thank you both for your time. Main Street Station downtown currently limits your stay time to one week per year. They do not allow any long term stays. Road Runner does not accept rigs more than ten years old. If they have a big website or are listed in Yelp or the Yellow Pages I have called them. I have been looking from Las Vegas in Las Vegas for four and a half months now. I posted at RV forums hoping that someone would know some neat little hole in the wall park that allows older rigs. I have no reason to sit here and lie to you about this rule - it is so pervasive (no rigs over 10 years old) I finally called the City to find out if it was some sort of city ordinance (it is not).
