Camping near Laughlin, Nevada
Laughlin sits on the Nevada bank of the Colorado River at the southern tip of the state, directly across from Bullhead City, Arizona. The town is best known for its casino strip along Casino Drive, but it also functions as a low-elevation base camp for water recreation on the river and on Lake Mohave, the reservoir formed by Davis Dam just upstream. RV travelers use Laughlin year-round because the desert climate keeps most parks open every month.
Lodging options for RV renters cluster in two areas. In-town, Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort RV Park offers full hookups steps from the river and the casino shuttle, while Colorado River Oasis RV Park and Silver View RV Resort sit a short drive away on the Arizona side near Bullhead City.
Upriver on Lake Mohave, Katherine Landing Marina and the associated Lake Mohave Resort provide the closest lakefront camping inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area, roughly seven to eight miles from town.
Things to do around Laughlin
Water activities anchor most trips. Lake Mohave supports boating, swimming, kayaking, water skiing, and fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, catfish, and rainbow trout, with boat rentals, a fuel dock, and a launch ramp available at Katherine Landing Marina. From Katherine Landing, boaters can reach roughly 198 coves along the lake, and shoreline anglers have access to fish-cleaning stations and docks near the marina.
On land, the Colorado River walkway connects Laughlin's casino properties on foot, and short desert hikes leave from Katherine Landing, including the Lake View Trail toward Sand Cove and Arizona Telephone Cove, and the Fisherman's Trail toward Turkey Cove. Day trips reach Davis Dam, Oatman's burro-lined main street, and the Newberry Mountains for higher-elevation hiking. Families also use the casino resorts for pools, arcades, and cinemas on hot afternoons.

Laughlin has a hot desert climate. Summers are extreme, with July highs commonly near 109°F, and tent camping in exposed desert sites is not recommended during that stretch. RV renters who visit in summer should plan for early-morning activity, shaded midday breaks, and reliable air conditioning at the campsite.
Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for outdoor recreation, with daytime highs in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit and cool evenings. These shoulder months bring the highest RV-park demand around Laughlin, so hookup sites at riverfront and lakefront parks fill well in advance, especially on weekends and around spring break.
Winter is mild rather than warm. December and January highs typically sit in the low 60s Fahrenheit with cool nights, and February is the wettest month of the year, though annual rainfall is still very low. Snow is essentially absent, and most area RV parks operate every day of the year.
How to book campgrounds near Laughlin
Reservation systems vary by operator. Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort RV Park is a private, large-format park open year-round; bookings are made by phone or through an online request form, and a representative confirms availability directly. Silver View RV Resort and Colorado River Oasis RV Park are private commercial parks that take direct reservations, typically online or by phone.
On Lake Mohave, the concessioner-run Katherine Landing RV Park offers 24 full-hookup sites on a first-come, first-served basis, while the larger 173-site Katherine Landing Campground inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area is also primarily first-come, first-served. Because Katherine Landing does not use Recreation.gov for individual sites, plan to arrive early on shoulder-season weekends and holiday weekends when the area fills quickly.
What to expect on-site
Full hookups (water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric) are standard at the private parks in and around Laughlin, and the concessioner-run Katherine Landing RV Park also offers full hookups on back-in sites that accommodate rigs up to about 40 feet. The larger Katherine Landing Campground provides restrooms with showers, a dump station, laundry, and a marina store within walking distance.
Expect a low-elevation Mojave Desert setting: open sky, limited natural shade, and reflective heat off gravel pads and rock. Bring extra drinking water, sun protection, and leveling gear. Casino-adjacent parks offer easy access to hotel amenities via shuttle or walkway, while lakefront sites trade proximity to town for direct access to boat ramps and swim beaches.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Laughlin, NV
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Laughlin?
RV rental in Laughlin is one of the most affordable warm-weather escapes in the Southwest because the local market is more relaxed than Las Vegas. Expect roughly $90 to $140 per night for a campervan or smaller Class C, $150 to $220 for a mid-sized Class C or travel trailer, and $225 to $325 nightly for a spacious Class A motorhome that comfortably sleeps six. You will also factor in fuel, a campground site (Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area is around $25 per night for non-residents), and any add-ons like generator hours or extra mileage. Pro tip: book Sunday through Thursday and skip the Laughlin River Run weekend in late April for the cheapest RV rental Laughlin rates of the year.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Laughlin%2C%20NevadaDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Laughlin?
Good news: your regular driver's license is all you need for almost every RV rental in Laughlin. Nevada only requires a commercial-class license for vehicles over 26,001 pounds, and virtually every motorhome, campervan, and travel trailer on RVezy falls well under that limit. You must be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking. Visiting from outside the US? An International Driving Permit paired with your home license keeps things simple at pickup. Most first-time renters are surprised how easy stepping into a Class C motorhome rental in Laughlin really is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I rent an RV in Laughlin?
Every RV rental in Laughlin comes with an RVezy protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built right into your booking, so you can hit the Colorado River with confidence. During checkout you choose from RVezy's renter protection plan tiers, letting you pick the level of coverage that fits your comfort zone. The plan covers eligible physical damage to the RV, giving you real financial peace of mind whether you are parked at Avi KOA or rolling toward Lake Mead. This is not traditional auto insurance, but it is purpose-built for peer-to-peer RV trips. Pro tip: record a quick walkaround video at pickup and dropoff for an extra layer of confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Laughlin RV rental?
Booking is lower-risk than most people expect. RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every rental in Laughlin, not the host, and there is a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. If plans shift, the exact refund depends on how far out you are from your trip start date. You will see the full cancellation details on the checkout page before you confirm. Pro tip: book early for spring Colorado River weekends since the best riverside rigs in Laughlin disappear weeks in advance.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Laughlin RV trip?
Absolutely, Laughlin is a fantastic destination for a pet-friendly RV rental. Many hosts welcome dogs, and you can use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see only listings that allow four-legged co-pilots. Once you're here, your pup will love the Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park and Trails along the river, plus Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area, which permits leashed pets in the campground and on the sandy shoreline. Avi Casino KOA even has a dedicated dog-run area. Pro tip: desert pavement gets blistering hot by 10am in summer, so plan walks for sunrise and bring booties or stick to grass and shaded sand.
parks.nv.gov/parks/big-bend-of-the-coloradoCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Laughlin?
Yes, RV delivery in Laughlin is one of the most popular options for first-timers and groups flying into Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport (IFP). Many hosts will drive the RV straight to Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area, the Avi KOA, or a casino RV lot, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to find hosts who offer this in the Laughlin area; fees usually scale with distance. This is the smart play if you want to skip driving a large motorhome on Needles Highway. Pro tip: message the host with your exact campsite number so setup is seamless.
parks.nv.gov/parks/big-bend-of-the-colorado/How does mileage work, and how far can I drive from Laughlin?
Most Laughlin hosts include a daily mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 150 miles per day), with extra miles available as a small per-mile add-on; some listings even offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage package, which is ideal for a longer RV road trip from Laughlin. Realistic distances from town: Lake Mead is about 75 miles north, Las Vegas is 95 miles, Oatman ghost town is 30 miles, Lake Havasu City is 60 miles, and the Grand Canyon West Rim sits around 70 miles east. Pro tip: estimate your full route before booking and buy a mileage package upfront, since prepaid miles are almost always cheaper than overage fees.
nps.gov/lake/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Laughlin for an RV?
You've got excellent options for RV camping Laughlin without driving far. Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area sits right on the river with 24 full-hookup sites (water, electric, sewer) and a 24-unit campground open year-round. Avi Casino KOA Journey offers pull-through sites with 50-amp service, a private beach, and a pool just south of town. Riverside Resort RV Park puts you on Casino Drive with 740 spaces and full hookups, while Katherine Landing at Lake Mohave (about 15 miles north) gives you marina access. Pro tip: Big Bend sites book up to six months out for cooler-weather weekends, so reserve through Reserve Nevada the moment your dates firm up.
parks.nv.gov/parks/big-bend-of-the-coloradoWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip to Laughlin?
Laughlin's sweet spot runs October through April, when daytime highs sit between a perfect 70°F and 85°F and overnight lows stay comfortably cool. February, March, and November are arguably the best months of all, with mild, dry desert weather and uncrowded riverside campgrounds. Summer (June through August) regularly tops 105°F to 110°F, so if you visit then, plan early-morning hikes, midday river time, and run the RV's air conditioning generously. With over 300 sunny days per year and just 1.78 inches of annual rainfall, you can plan a Laughlin RV trip with real confidence in the forecast. Pro tip: aim for the Laughlin River Run in late April only if you love big crowds and live music.
weather.gov/vef/I've never driven an RV before. Is Laughlin a good place to start?
Laughlin is honestly one of the friendliest places in the Southwest for a first time renting an RV. Roads are wide, traffic is light compared to Las Vegas, and Casino Drive plus Needles Highway (SR-163) are flat, well-marked, and easy to navigate. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, slide-outs, and the dump tanks, so you won't be guessing. If a Class A feels like a lot, start with a Class C motorhome or a campervan rental Laughlin offers, both of which drive close to a large van. Pro tip: ask your host to send the RV manual a few days early so you can watch the orientation videos before pickup.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rv-safetyWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Needles Highway or a stubborn generator at Big Bend gets handled fast. Your host is your first call for quick questions, and the RVezy support team is reachable around the clock before, during, and after your trip. Laughlin has the advantage of being close to service shops in Bullhead City, Arizona, just across the bridge, plus Las Vegas RV dealers about 95 miles north. Pro tip: save the roadside number in your phone before you leave the host's driveway and screenshot your RV's make, model, and license plate.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Laughlin RV rental into Arizona or California?
Yes, and you absolutely should. Laughlin sits at the tri-state corner where Nevada, Arizona, and California meet, so an RV road trip from Laughlin naturally crosses borders. The Laughlin Bridge puts you in Bullhead City, Arizona in about five minutes, and the Mojave National Preserve in California is roughly 40 miles west. Interstate travel between US states is covered by your booking. The one hard limit: travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend across the border. Pro tip: confirm with your host before booking if you are planning to cross into Utah for Zion (about 230 miles), since some hosts cap total trip distance.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Laughlin RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line item after the rental itself, but Laughlin has a built-in money-saver: cross the bridge into Bullhead City, Arizona where gas typically runs noticeably cheaper than on the Nevada side. Class B campervans average 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes 8 to 12 MPG, and Class A motorhomes 6 to 10 MPG. For a 300-mile loop to Lake Mead and back in a Class C, budget roughly $120 to $180 in fuel at current Southwest prices. Pro tip: fill up in Bullhead City before crossing back, and check the AAA fuel price map the morning of your departure to time it right.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Laughlin?
For Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area, reserve through ReserveNevada.com up to six months in advance, especially for October through April weekends when the riverside sites disappear quickly. Avi Casino KOA and Riverside Resort RV Park accept reservations directly on their websites and tend to fill up two to three months out for holiday weekends and the Laughlin River Run. Weeknights are far easier to grab last-minute. Pro tip: if you're set on a riverfront site at Big Bend, set a calendar reminder for exactly six months before your check-in date and book the moment the window opens.
reservenevada.com/What are the driving conditions like around Laughlin?
Laughlin driving is refreshingly straightforward for an RV. Casino Drive is wide and flat, SR-163 (Needles Highway) is a scenic, well-paved two-lane out to US-95, and I-40 is just 25 miles south. Watch for two things: strong crosswinds in the open desert between Searchlight and Las Vegas (gusts can top 40 mph on spring afternoons), and summer pavement temperatures that can stress tires, so check pressure cold each morning. Wild burros sometimes wander onto the road near Oatman, Arizona, so slow down through that stretch. Pro tip: time longer drives to Lake Mead or Las Vegas for early morning when winds are calm and the desert light is unbeatable.
nvroads.com/What amenities do campgrounds near Laughlin offer, and where can I dump and refill?
You'll find excellent infrastructure for RV camping Laughlin. Big Bend of the Colorado has full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, sewer) at all 24 developed sites, plus an on-site dump station and clean showers open 365 days a year. Avi KOA offers 50-amp pull-throughs, free Wi-Fi, laundry, and a dog run. Riverside Resort RV Park has 740 full-hookup spaces and a shuttle to the casino. Potable water fill stations are available at all three. Pro tip: if you're boondocking out by Christmas Tree Pass, dump and refill at Big Bend's day-use station for a small fee on your way back into town, and stock up on groceries in Bullhead City where prices beat the casino strip.
parks.nv.gov/parks/big-bend-of-the-coloradoWhat is inside a typical Laughlin RV rental?
Expect more comfort than you would guess. A standard Class C motorhome rental in Laughlin sleeps 4 to 6 in a queen bed, over-cab bunk, and a convertible dinette, with a full kitchen (three-burner stove, fridge, microwave), a wet or dry bathroom with shower and toilet, roof and dash air conditioning (essential here), a generator for off-grid power, and seatbelts for every passenger. Many listings include a flat-screen TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and camp chairs. Wi-Fi is hit or miss in the desert, but cell service from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon is strong throughout the Laughlin/Bullhead corridor. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count and AC capacity if you are booking a family RV trip Laughlin in summer.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Laughlin%2C%20NevadaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in Laughlin offer some genuinely useful add-ons that can elevate your trip. Common options include generator hours ($3 to $5 per hour), camp chairs and tables, kitchen kits, linens and bedding packs, kayaks and SUPs (perfect for the calm Colorado River below Davis Dam), portable grills, and the delivery-and-setup package mentioned above. Pickup is typically at the host's home or a meeting point in Laughlin or Bullhead City, with most hosts offering a 2-hour pickup window and a full walkthrough. Standard mileage is 100 to 150 miles per day, with prepaid extra-mile packages available. Pro tip: add the kayak rental if your host offers it; launching from Big Bend's beach into clear, cool, dam-fed river water is a Laughlin highlight.
parks.nv.gov/parks/big-bend-of-the-coloradoHow do payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy at booking using a credit or debit card, never directly to the host, which keeps everything tracked and protected. Each listing sets its own refundable security deposit (commonly $500 to $1,500 in Laughlin depending on RV class), held as a pre-authorization on your card before pickup and released after dropoff once the host confirms the RV is returned in the same condition. To keep things smooth: complete the walkaround video at pickup, refill fuel and propane to the starting levels, empty both holding tanks at Big Bend's dump station, and return on time. Pro tip: use a credit card with no foreign transaction fees if you are visiting from Canada for the best exchange rate.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow do I handle the desert heat on a summer RV trip in Laughlin?
Laughlin's summer heat is real (regularly 105°F to 110°F in July), but it's very manageable with a few smart moves. Choose an RV with both roof and dash air conditioning, plan to be plugged into 30 or 50-amp shore power at a full-hookup site like Big Bend or Avi KOA so the AC can run nonstop, and drive between 6am and 10am when pavement is cool and winds are calm. Spend midday on or in the Colorado River, which stays a refreshing 55°F to 65°F year-round thanks to releases from Davis Dam. Hydrate constantly and carry extra drinking water. Pro tip: book a riverfront site, then float, nap, and grill at sunset, it's the Laughlin summer playbook.
