Desert Eagle RV Park

This was our first visit. We were in site 86 which was perfect. Sites are spacious and afford privacy with trees and shrubs. Campground is very well maintained and staff on the ball and very friendly. This is definitely one of the best campgrounds we have stayed. Good location for touring the area. Recommend Red Rock Canyon and Valley of the Fire and also Hoover Dam. All within an hours drive. Commissary and Exchange very good and located across LV Blvd either through Main Gate at end Of Craig road or gate across from Range gate. We enjoyed watching the Thunderbirds and flight training. We plan to return end of 2013. Also want to mention dog park next to office is good and there are lots of dog stations in the park for bags and waste. Feel this is one of the cleanest parks we have stayed. Nice walking path around the park for exercising of dogs. Laundry facilities are clean as are the restrooms and showers. This is for sure first class operation and we have no complaints. Thanks to all the staff. Amy and John Stanton

Great FamCamp!! Located within sight of the Las Vegas Strip! Checkin was quick and painless. Well kept and given the Nevada climate the landscaping was commendable. We were here for the Air Force vs. UNLV football game. Too bad the Falcons lost but the Desert Eagle FamCamp was a hit! Our first stay and not our last!

What a great place to park for seeing the sights of Las Vegas and the surrounding area. The staff was friendly and helpful...The only down side, and this no one has any control over, is the weather.....HOT...HOT...HOT.over 100F the entire stay...but we managed to "donate" to the local economy thru playing the slots...just had to go in the morning when it was cooler...lol...The RV park is well maintained and does have shade trees, etc....Laundry room for our circle was neat and clean....75 cents to wash and 75 cents to dry....bath house very clean....an unpublished benefit is that you are allocated 1 bag of ice per day FREE....all you have to do is go to the office and sign for it....Small shoppette near park with minimal items & gas....A 24 hr. shoppette/class 6 store located on main base near the BX/PX....great commissary....we plan to stay again in the future, only we'll make sure to come when it is cooler...BTW....these folks deserve to get the west "Best Campground/RV Park" this year. They are aware of it and truly work hard to make your stay the best in the West....

Stayed here the last night of our 23-day trip. Plenty of spaces available, we had a nice pull through spot with full hook-ups in a quiet location. Friendly and helpful hosts and staff made sure we found and got properly situated on our site (the park layout can be a bit confusing...). We will definitely stay here again. Traveling in a Motorhome.

We stayed two weeks and the sites are beautiful with trees and lots of space between rigs. The staff is friendly and provided us with excellent service. This is the best FAMCAMP we have stayed at.

Didn't think we would enjoy camping in Las Vegas: nothing to do but go to casinos. Right? Wrong! Although these reviews are usually just for the RV Park, a lot has been said to make folks want to stay here. Rightly so since the amenities, staff, location adjacent to an excellent AF Base, and other items make this a choice place. The jets do fly low over the Park, but that is the sound of freedom. And many are Thunderbirds practicing, so you get quite an air show every day. Spaces are roomy, landscaping is terrific, the bath/laundry facilities are great, and the pace is just so clean! We haul around our recycling looking for a place to stow it: Desert Eagle has multiple recycling boxes for all commodities. The BX and Commissary are outstanding. Location is far from the tourist trap places. Although many here sit in their RVs all day, you can get to really great parks and such in a few minutes. Must see places include Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, and of course Hoover Dam. You can easily spend days on end at Red Rock and Valley of Fire: the Bighorn Sheep at VoF are only a few meters away at worst (makes for great photos) and one actually lets you touch it as it blocks the highway (he's like me...too old to breed, and senile). Come for the warmth and stay for the enjoyment. Get outta your RV and partake of the attractions. The staff treats you well and the price is great. They don't have cable but we get good antenna reception; they do provide wifi, but you spend a lot of time re-connecting the signal. We have good AT&T wireless service here. We came for a couple of days and stayed two weeks...only leaving to tour Death Valley. Can't say enough good things about this place.

o.k. lets see, yada yada, yada, cool, cool, cool, best, best, best, darned what else can ya say. yep, best fam camp in the system.

Great place for overnight or longer stay; easy access to Fam Camp. Staff is outstanding; easy check-in, staff provides a very handy guest package for base and local information. A little airport noise but nothing that can't be handled. Rest rooms and laundry cleaned daily and in good condition. Will come back when in the area.

Our overall experience was great. The host was very helpful and the campgrounds were very well maintained. Lots of space between sites. For the price add cable or at least wifi and this place would be a 5 star place.

What a First Class RV CG by any standards. This is a very nice CG with a good layout, First Class landscaping and Super great Hosts. You can't do better than this.

Stayed only one night but will return. Truly the best military RV campground I have visited to date. Only drawback location is in the middle of an industrial part of the base. A bit of an eyesore. Staff is extremely friendly, helpful and polite. Bathrooms are super clean. It's just down the road from Las Vegas Speedway and of course the "strip". There are walking paths being installed. It's a great place for an early evening walk. We had no problems with water pressure. A PX Shopette with gas pumps is about half mile away. Base itself is awesome.

Value is in the proximity to really what I'd call a "signature base" - but you do feel like you're socked away in an industrial park. We've been here before and it was packed; this trip, in the heat of summer, it was rather open! Campground staffer (manager? not sure) was an extremely polite fellow Texan. Female on phone who made reservations very polite as well. Main base itself is just plain awesome.

This a great park with excellent staff. Big sites, good wifi, high pressure water, stable electricity, it's all good. This is our first experience with a Fam Camp and any others will have a tough standard to meet. It was very hot during our stay so we didn't wander around outside much, but the location was great for getting to the strip in Vegas. We will come here again.

First time over-nighting in our new Class A with a toad. The staff was cordial and informative. When I told them I was new to the RV life, they jokingly (I think) assigned us to the "honeymoon suite" -- a pull thru site that was large enough for our 35 foot coach, the tow dolly, and our Honda Fit. In fact, one of the host staff led us in a golf cart to our spot. The weekend was relaxing and a great first experience. We will stop there again, on the way back from our trip to Seattle in July.

As always -- nice -very, very nice !!

P.P. left this review using the Directory software: We so enjoyed staying at this park. Would come back again & again. Even though Las Vegas is not my thing I so enjoyed this park. People was very nice & helpful. The sites are clean & level. Great!!!!!!

This family camp is run by the most friendly and helpful staff. I have just recently started R.V. travel and this is my first experience with a military camp,I just hope that the other family camps are run as well as Desert Eagle R.V. park is.The staff and condition of the park are a shining light for the base command, one he should be very proud. Thank-you again for making my first experience with family camp a great one. Carl Shepherd

We wish Nellis was closer to a city that had more to do than gamble. The staff was delightful and most helfpull. The facilities were very clean. The dog run was exceptional. The walking paths throughout the park were well maintained, as were the sites. There was a circle host for each of the various hubs of RV's, who showed genuine interest in helping but not interfering. Although across the highway from the main base, it was most enjoyable to watch the Thunderbirds practice, as well as the Australian AF planes. The Exchange and Commissary provided very adequate choices. Overall fantastic experience.

Everything is very nice at the park except the activities director at the park she is very mean and rude, surprising she is even a activity director. The rest of the staff is really nice and friendly and the park is very clean and quiet.

We really appreciated the very nice staff and volunteers who checked us in and helped us park. Everyone was exceptionally nice, helpful and accommodating. We had an unfortunate experience with the park manager. When we checked in we paid for six nights with our Visa card. We decided not to stay the entire time and informed the staff we were leaving early and wanted three days' fees refunded. The park manager said the fees were non-refundable. This non-refundable policy was not listed on the credit card receipt, or on the park receipt. When I informed him that he needed to make the refund because the so-called non-refundable policy was not properly disclosed, he then shifted to saying he would process the refund if there was some type of an emergency. I told him to call it an emergency and issue the refund. He then attempted to pry into the nature of the emergency. He finally agreed to issue the refund, but found himself far too busy to do so that afternoon. He asked me to return in the morning. I asked if we were going to go through the whole non-refundable scene again or if would simply process the refund when I returned in the morning. He assured me he would simply process the refund. Well, I returned in the morning and he started with the whole routine again. I asked him to simply process the refund. He stated refunds had so many steps and it would take such a long time to get all of the steps done. I asked him to start on step one. The refund was processed.
