Tips for Planning Your Las Vegas Camping Trip
Las Vegas and the surrounding areas are popular camping spots for a reason: they're full of
beautiful scenery and fun activities for individuals and families looking to spend their vacations
outdoors. Whether you're looking for an adventurous excursion or a relaxing nature trip, the Las
Vegas area is full of great options.
If you're planning a Las Vegas camping trip, follow these steps while planning to make sure that
you and your family get the most out of your trip:
Pick your spot online – One of the main obstacles that keeps many people from
planning an outdoor trip is that they aren't sure where to go. Will campsites be available
when they need them? When is the best time to visit different parks and camping sites?
Which ones are conveniently located, and which ones are too far away? Will the park be
too deserted? Too crowded? The internet is a great resource for better camping planning,
and removes a lot of the doubt involved in the process. Check out different camps online,
see what attractions and features each one has, and pick the location and season that
meets your camping needs and desires.
Plan your packing carefully – The best way to make sure that you don't forget any of
the crucial items you'll need on your camping trip is to make packing a carefully planned
process. Make a list, double and triple check it, and before you pack up all the stuff
you've gathered together, confirm that you have everything. Get the whole family in on
the planning – one family member might remember something important that another
forgets. Again, going online can help with planning; look up camping resources and
check what they list as necessary items against what you're planning on bringing.
Plan around the environment – Las Vegas may commonly be known as a desert city,
but there are a lot more types of environment in the area than just flat sand. The area
around Las Vegas is home to mountains, canyons, valleys, lakes, and rivers. Depending
on where you and your family will be camping, you'll need different supplies to match
the environment.
Reserve your spot ahead of time – If the camping ground you'll be staying at has
reservations, book your spot before you leave. Camping can be a very popular activity,
especially during vacation times and warmer seasons, and you don't want to drive all the
way out to your site only to find there's no place for you to camp. If you're not sure if
your camping site takes reservations, call or email them to find out.
Avoid fancy meals – Part of the joy of camping might be throwing some dogs on the
grill and not worrying about making complex meals, but there's a practical reason to eat
simple on your camping trip as well. Part of the art of camping is packing as light as
possible, and bringing along too much cooking gear and extra food only weighs you
down and makes it harder to transport everything. Stick to the basics that are easy to
transport, prepare, and cook when it comes to foodstuffs.
Explore! – When planning a camping excursion, it's easy to just book a campsite and
then stay there for the duration of your visit. While that can be fun and relaxing, it's also
means you and your family are missing out on lots of great natural wonders and
attractions. Instead of just reserving a site, book a Las Vegas tour of the area. Take a
Grand Canyon tour from Las Vegas before or after you hit the camp site, look up nature
trails and other possible excursions, and find ways to (safely) explore as much of the
area's wonderful scenery as possible.
By following this Las Vegas camping guide, you and your family can be sure that you'll be
making the most of your fun camping adventure.
