Our ranty review on Campground Reviews:
Large resort, near The Strip
This could have been so much better than it was, but the annoyances started early and kept adding on:
– Upon arrival, we had to wait for a long line of RVs to be checked in. When it was our turn, we found out why it took so long: they checked every rig for the “RVIA sticker”. I’ve never had that before and it was weird because our rig was originally bought in Canada so it had a different sticker than they were used to. Look, if you’re just looking to keep Schoolies and homemade conversions out of the park “for insurance reasons”, I get it, but when someone shows up in a pretty well-known make and model, just wave them through.
– Once you get inside the gate, you have to sign some paperwork and head inside to registration, which was incredibly slow even with four people on duty. Got through that process where I signed as much paperwork as when we sold or bought a house.
– On our way out the door we were accosted by a “Good Sam Rep” that had obviously been waiting for the tired and weary travelers to try to Shanghai them into a timeshare presentation without knowing what was going on. We were halfway through signing up for the seminar when we cottoned on to the shenanigans and walked out.
– Got to our “Premium Pull-through site” and it was quite a squeeze to fit the 40′ motorhome and tow vehicle on the pad. We had to unhook and park the truck diagonally across the pad to keep our bumpers out of the road, also being sure to avoid the lamp post, the garbage can, and the sprinkler heads.
– They have an extensive rule booklet, but nobody else seemed to read it and nobody in the park actually enforced the rules.
– Went to soak in the hot tub, which is a welcome perk after a day of driving, and despite being “adults only” there were many, many children jumping into it with no parents around.
– Wanted to partake in the café, but it was only open sporadically. The one time we did get in, though, the martinis were strong and the tater tots were amazing.
– When you leave the park and come back you have to sit in the long line of RVs checking in because there isn’t a separate line for checking in versus returning.
– On the other hand, it was a conveniently short drive to The Strip.
We camped at Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Tip for Other Campers: Convenient to The Strip, but if you want a bit of nature and amazing scenery, Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire are each a decent day trip.

When one enters the park, they first need to check in with security, that hands over a registration form:
Then one parks in one of the several registration lanes:
And goes into the office:
To the registration desk:
They really like their paperwork and inefficient procedures. Perhaps necessary with such a large park, but it didn’t seem very streamlined.
Swimming pools:
We used the hot tub, though despite all the signs about no kids in the hot tub, there were several that used it:
They have family and adult swimming pools; this is the family one, which nobody was using as it wasn’t heated — so of course all the kids were in the adults-only pool. Yay:
A fairly large store:
Always nice to have an on-site restaurant too; we had dinner there once (and were going to another couple of nights, but they were closed — having an onsite restaurant is well and good, but having it closed unexpectedly is almost worse than not having one, though I know lots of restaurants struggle with staffing nowadays):
Tasty martinis; yes, they had a full bar:
Jenn’s sandwich and tots:
My burger and lots of fries:
Also nice when an RV park has a mail room; we got several packages delivered here:
Outdoor game area:
Bathrooms:
Other RVs:
The elevated freeway was very near, resulting in a constant hum of noise:
The big Las Vegas airport was also nearby, so planes would frequently fly over:
The entrance at night:
A nice RV resort; not great, but good, and close to the Vegas attractions. We might stay here again, but would probably prefer to try another place, or go back to Lake Mead.
