About 5 years ago I was sitting on the steps because I'm getting a very bad sharp burning sensation in my leg and the women who work there threatened to call the police and shoot me with a gun I should have had a phone and recorded them and press charges they are rude and very mean at this RV Park

30 dollar just for dumping - more expensive than in the state parks! We drove past the camp ground - the rvs were so close together no privacy at all - not recommended!

A bit off the beaten path. Nice little park with good amenities. Pool, sauna, games room, small gym, and doggie park. Clean and updated bathrooms. Everyone was friendly and super helpful. Even came up with a cork screw late in the evening when I realized I'd forgotten mine.

We moved into this park 5 years ago. We love living here. Also, our New Management seem to be more professional in the office now!

We are full-time RVers that usually boondock but needed a place nearby Las Vegas to stay with hookups for two weeks. RV parks aren’t usually our cup of tea but we really enjoyed our stay here. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, and the amenities are impressive especially considering the great nightly price. We especially enjoyed the super clean and spacious bathrooms with showers (it even had a sauna) and the pleasant pool area with a hot tub. On-site laundry was a bonus, as were very friendly office workers who graciously received our many Amazon packages that we had for pickup. Our only criticism is the ever-present cigarette smoke about everywhere you go here—staff, residents, and short-term guests are all constantly puffing chimneys and it will permeate into your RV, so an air purifier was helpful. Nevertheless, this was a small issue and we enjoyed our stay. We will stay here again and again. Thank you Desert Sands for offering a great place at an affordable cost! 🚐

Beware if you need 50 amps! I don't want to badmouth this place - we only stayed one night, but it was kind of disastrous. I picked Desert Sands because it was away from the highways, not realizing that put us on the airport's landing path, but that wouldn't be a deal breaker. We arrived, got situated, everything was fine, then, early evening, our power went off. It came back on, no problem. Then it went off again, twice more, and then it wouldn't come back on. We checked outside for anything obvious - nothing. On our check-in paperwork, I found a "Camp Host Phone (After Hours) 702-387-8977". I called - it's not a working number! We eventually found a camp host to help us. He was very friendly and wished to help, but knew nothing about electrical issues, and assumed the problem was with our rig. He called somebody else. That person showed up and plugged in a tester. It showed no power on our side. Eventually he said, "You can't plug two 50 amp rigs into that tower." The tower was shared between two sites and the other rig - already plugged in when we arrived, was also a 50 amp. When we asked why they put us in that spot, he said, "They don't listen to me. You could probably put a 50 amp and a 30 amp fine, but not two 50 amps." We made it through the night - thanks to our generator - and got out of there as soon as we could the following morning. Our electrical worked perfectly at our next stop. Needless to say,we will not return to Desert Sands.

The negative reviews of this place seem to be old before new management took over. I called to book a same-day reservation, and the person was extremely friendly. They have a 24-hour guard that was at the gate when we arrived for late check-in. He escorted us to our site to make sure we didn’t get lost since it was already dark. They have a pool and clubhouse. We didn’t get to use them because of our late arrival and early departure, but they looked like a lot of fun. We saw people enjoying the clubhouse patio and misting fans on our walk after we arrived. This was a great full hookup RV park with a lot of amenities in a good location between the airport, Hoover Dam and Vegas strip. Would definitely stay again

Is this a scenic park? No. Is this a top-of-the-line park? No. Is it free of full-timer hoarders and some run-down RVs? No. Is it clean and quiet with good size spaces, full hookups, and excellent Wifi and cell service? YES! They also have a pool but we never used it. For reference, we currently live on the road full-time in our 40' fifth wheel with large Chevy truck. We were staying at a different RV resort on Lake Mead but needed somewhere to stay for a couple weeks between when we left Lake Mead for a different area. This fit the bill for what we needed. Super nice people working the front office, close to everything you could want or need, and all guests/residents keep to themselves. We did overhear neighbors talking about engaging in some less-than-legal activities but nobody was bothering anybody else. We always kept everything locked up but in general we felt very safe. I definitely wouldn't want to live there for longer than a week or two but if we were back in the area and needed somewhere to stay, we'd be back at Desert Sands no problem.

I usually only give reviews for extraordinary reasons, good or bad. This time I'm glad to say it's good. The park itself is fine, very quiet which is my priority. Excellent cell service with Verizon, which is my second must have. Close to everything and clean. But this review is about customer service, everyone in the office I have dealt with so far has been great but I have to give praise when it's due and Cameron has been an absolute ace in helping us out. In the year we have been full time we have been around the country and stayed at countless parks, most have been decent at least and I have rarely had bad customer service but nobody and I mean nobody has gone above and beyond like Cameron has.

Specific to the RV Dump: $20 and fantastic service! Had my black and gray water tanks dumped by the gentleman who was there to help. Also rinsed through the sani-t-rinse with their provided fresh water hose. Quick and easy, took cash or credit card. Will use again if I'm in the neighborhood!

We stayed at this park for 3 days the host and the staff was very friendly The park itself was very clean and had security at night time to front gate. Definitely a nice place to stay can't wait to come back

Cam's the man! I was very well received and assisted by Cameron when I stopped by to ask questions and possibly move in. He spoke to me and my father in a very respectful manner, answered our questions, took us on a quick tour, and gave us a good feeling about the place. I reserved a spot and I'm excited to move in soon! - Tomás

We are moving across country and sightseeing along the way. Our reservation at another campground was for the wrong date. I called Desert Sands late on a Friday and they accommodated us. The guard took us to our sight. He was so helpful and kind. The park is super clean. It's quiet. It's so pleasant here. On Saturday morning, we were about to pull out and noticed our rear tire looked low. Turns out the inside tire was flat and had to be replaced. This is the Vegas area and the replacement tire was $852. The park didn't charge us for being here until 3pm and were extremely understanding. We decided to stay the night and the park was so fantastic and helpful. I highly refined this park. It's convenient and wonderful.

They seem to be trying to modernize an older park, but it was disappointing; small sites, not close to much of anything, normal city noise. Prices are equivalent to other older LV RV parks, but I think you will find better value elsewhere.
