Camping near Laughlin

·

Set in southern Nevada near the Arizona and California borders, Laughlin is often considered a laid-back and cheaper alternative to Las Vegas, with a scenic riverwalk and waterfront casino row. Its location on the Colorado River, along with proximity to Lake Mohave, Lake Mead, and Lake Havasu, means there’s plenty of water activities to be had, from river cruises to more active pursuits like swimming, kayaking, water skiing, and fishing. The surrounding desert also offers opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, biking, and off-roading. Campers will find amenities-filled RV resorts in town, while nearby parks and recreation areas offer tent, RV, and primitive camping options along the water and in the desert.

Rent kayaks at the property to drive them down, a 7 min drive off the property. Book an off road tour around the mountains and down to the river.

19. BackCountry Camp

26mi from Laughlin · 1 site · Tent, RV
True Remoteness Feels far away without being impossible to reach. Perfect for unplugging and resetting. Adventure-Ready Terrain Dirt bike riding Off-road exploration Overlanding routes Endless walking and wandering Mental Reset Zone Ideal for meditation, writing, and reflection No campground chatter, no schedules Primitive & Flexible Camping Tents Vans Truck campers Minimalist RVs Pet-Friendly Space Dogs love the freedom Plenty of room to roam responsibly Backcountry Camp offers primitive desert camping near Lake Mojave with wide-open space, incredible stargazing, and a true off-grid experience. It’s ideal for hikers, dirt bike riders, overlanders, and campers seeking privacy, silence, and authentic backcountry vibes—while still close enough for lake days and supply runs. This is true backcountry-style camping: wide, untamed land with sweeping desert views, open skies, and a deep sense of space that makes everything slow down. Days are made for exploring on foot, hiking desert terrain, dirt bike and off-road riding, and wandering quiet washes that feel untouched. The land is open and forgiving, ideal for overland rigs, vans, dirt bikes, and minimalist campers who want room to move and breathe. When night falls, the desert really shows off. Stargazing here is unreal—no city glow, no campground lights, just stars stacked on stars and the Milky Way stretching across the sky. Campfires (when legal) bring warmth and stillness, and the silence feels intentional, not empty. You’re close to Lake Mojave for daytime adventures like fishing, boating, or swimming, yet far enough away to feel completely disconnected from crowds and noise. Laughlin is within reach for supplies, but Backcountry Camp stays firmly rooted in solitude. This is a place for people who want space, quiet, and authenticity—no amenities, no distractions, just land and sky.

20. Rollo Ranch

33mi from Laughlin · 12 sites · RVs
Primitive camping! This 2 acre property is on flat, open, desert terrain and is accessed off road, so please be sure your RV or vehicle can drive off road. Located off I-40 ( old Route 66 ) in Holbrook, Arizona. No power, toilet, water, or sewage. You will need to drive ~1 mile or so off road to get to the provided coordinates.Just 49 miles away you have Castle Mountains National Park. You'll need a high-clearance, 4WD vehicle to get into this extremely remote national monument in the eastern Mojave Desert. Accessible only by dirt roads, Castle Mountains is surrounded on three sides by the Mojave National Preserve. It's the northernmost of the desert region's three new national monuments designated by the President in 2016. This park in northeastern San Bernardino County protects 20,920 acres, located between the interstates I−15 and I−40. There are no facilities, developed campgrounds, or established trails within the monument. Backcountry camping is allowed. Castle Peaks is one of the stars here—a cluster of imposing spires that climb skyward. The peaks are composed mainly of volcanic tuff, and the deep erosion of the rocks has created distinct, sharp summits. You're also rewarded for your efforts to get here by lush grasslands, Joshua tree forests, mountain vistas, and abundant wildlife. The rugged Mojave Desert is home to mountain lions, bighorn sheep, golden eagles, coyotes, and bobcats. Castle Mountains National Monument is always open, but the best times to come are spring and fall. March and April are peak times. The spring rains turn the desert into a carpet of vivid, vibrant wildflowers. Summers are very hot, with daytime temps in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Camping near Laughlin guide

When to go

Summer temperatures can regularly soar above 110°F in Laughlin, making outdoor activities other than water play dangerous. Spring and fall offer the best weather for outdoor activities, including camping. Spring is a good time for fishing, especially for striped bass. Visit in late April for the Laughlin River Run, one of the largest motorcycle events on the west coast.
