McWilliams Campground

McWilliams Campground offers a serene high-altitude escape in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, just 50 miles from the bustling energy of downtown Las Vegas. Situated at 8,300 feet elevation, the campground offers a cool retreat with paved roads winding through a lush forest of Ponderosa and white pines, providing both natural beauty and partial shade. Its proximity to hiking trails, such as the Bristlecone Trail and Sawmill Trail, makes it a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts.

This campground features 75 well-maintained campsites, accommodating tents, trailers, and RVs up to 64 feet. Each site comes equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and grill, while amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, trash collection, and food storage lockers to prevent wildlife encounters. For extended stays or group activities, ten double-family sites are available. The quiet mountain setting is ideal for stargazing, wildlife viewing, and day trips to the Spring Mountains Visitor Center, which offers guided hikes and educational programs.

Located off Nevada State Route 156, McWilliams Campground provides easy access to exploring the natural wonders of the Spring Mountains. This area is home to unique flora and fauna, including the Bristlecone pine and the rare Mount Charleston blue butterfly. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway or an extended outdoor adventure, this site offers the perfect blend of accessibility, tranquility, and recreational opportunities.
