Fletcher View

Fletcher View Campground is set in the beautiful Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, just 24 miles from Las Vegas. Visitors enjoy hiking, horseback riding and scenic driving in this forested desert oasis. This recently updated campground is open year-round and contains several single and double-family sites, all of which have electric hookups, tables, campfire rings and grills. Drinking water is provided, and roads and parking spurs are paved. There is a paved nature trail. Because the campground is located in a flood plain, it may be temporarily closed during the monsoon season (mid-July to mid-September); during this time overnight stays are available only as weather permits. The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is a beautiful island in the desert, brimming with breathtaking scenery and diverse flora and fauna. The Bristlecone pine, the world's oldest organism, and the rare Mount Charleston blue butterfly are both found within the Spring Mountains, and more than 100 springs create the namesake for the mountain range. It's the perfect place to escape the heat of the city. The campground is set in an open forest of ponderosa pine, mountain mahogany and Gambel oak, paralleling a seasonal stream and the highway, and most sites have views of the surrounding towering canyon walls. More than 60 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails crisscross the area; two trails allow mountain biking. Rock climbing, picnicking and scenic driving are popular activities.
