There are three words that I never imagined I would ever say in a single sentence : Las Vegas camping.  Somehow the terms just don't seem to mesh, do they ?.  This is maybe why I told my hubby he was silly when he claimed that he booked a Las Vegas camping trip last year.

When most of us think about Vegas, campgrounds aren't the first thing that is evoked.  With all the top Las Vegas hotels available, all the casinos and shows, many of us never think of this as a destination although we might love the great outdoors.  Yet, besides being one of the greatest locations for travellers who prefer to live the high life, Vegas is also one of the top places to enjoy outdoor life.  Vegas camping is truly top-notch.

Of course, Vegas camp grounds vary very greatly in quality, so you have got to do your homework meticulously.  Vegas camping is only really a smart idea if you are there for something other than the shows, nightlife and casinos. By all means have a day or two in town but the main reason for camping should be the outdoor attractions that you will find near your campsite. The reality is, if you would like good Vegas camping at an inexpensive price, you have to get well outside the city boundaries.  Otherwise, all you may find will be drive-in camping at much higher costs than you really should have to pay.  The best Las Vegas camping is along one of the brooks that flow through the state of Nevada.  For example, you can kayak below the Hoover dam on the Colorado River.  There's a profusion of camping sites in Las Vegas, but unless you have a specific area in mind , or you are looking for a camping holiday that includes a trip to a show or casino then there are far nicer locations for you to take your vacation.

Camping is by far the best way to see the Australian Outback. But if you only rely on caravan parks in towns and near the big tourist attractions, you will miss out on many things and at the same time waste a lot of money. So, it is best to take the help of a site that has detailed listings on hundreds of places to go camping in Australia.

There are many advantages to being able to camp for free rather than staying at commercial caravan parks. Besides the cost, you get to choose your own site. When you are free camping, most sites have plenty of room and you choose how close you are to your neighbors. You can have a campfire every night and sit and chat and toast delicious marshmallows - the perfect camping holiday!
