Bathrooms were disgusting the camp site had a lot of trash around the area which is not normal as weve stayed here numerous times to which this has never occurred. Bring extra trash bags to pick up prior to starting camp.

was a very private camping and the park rangers were very helpful. Area was clean and well kept.

Camp site was beautiful. 6 vehicle spots and 6 tent sites. Plenty of space

The site itself is fine, except for the lack of water.

First, the campground was excellent. plenty of room, lots of tables, and fire pit very safely placed in reference to the tent pads. We will be going again, for sure. I rated it three starts because we have four different groups of people try and set up on our site. these sites have more than one tent pad and are intended for groups.... we booked the site two months ago and paid for the entire site. i had to ask the ranger to ask them to leave, and (if what the people said was true), the ranger told them that i asked them to leave. if that is true, it shouldn't happen like that. even if it isn't true, it shouldn't happen that way. the rangers should be going around every day and asking for the reservation numbers -- if the site is booked (and is reservation only), there is no reason that i should have to ask as a paying customer. the ranger was present and did several circles, so the fact that i had to ask was slightly disappointing.

I found it frustrating this website does not tell you how many tent pads and parking spots there are for each site, so here you go:
McNutt - 7 tent pads and 6 parking spots, plus one handicap spot (my favorite)
CCC - 6 tent pads and 8 parking spots, plus one handicap spot
Smith - 6 tent pads and 9 parking spots, plus one handicap spot
Young - 7 tent pads and parking spots, plus one handicap spot (best views)
FDR - 7 tent pads and 10 parking spots, plus one handicap spot
Scrugham - 7 tent pads and 9 parking spots
The tent pads are 12ft x 12ft.
One of my favorite places to go camping. The site is at 8,300 ft, so the air is a little thin and the temps are 20-25 degrees cooler than Las Vegas. Make sure to secure your food at night because there are a couple of foxes who aren't afraid to help themselves. We secured our food, but they still managed to chow down on some spilled dog kibble 20 feet away from where we were sitting by the fire. Speaking of fire, to find the current fire restrictions, I went here https://www.nevadafireinfo.org/restrictions-and-closures and click on "Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest- NEVADA Fire Restrictions" Also, the rangers like to keep the front gate closed with a "Road Closed" sign. Just push it open, and the rangers ask you to close the gate behind you.

It is wonderful to be in the mountains above Las Vegas and to enjoy to cool mountain air. The group campground has nice sand-filled tent pads and good concrete picnic tables and a fire ring. It can be a challenge to reserve a site far enough ahead in time, but not as difficult as many national parks. The big down side is that the pit toilets are some of the worst we have been to for two years in a row. There were thousands of flies. They fly in and out of the toilet and bump into you. It is disgusting. You can smell the toilets from over 100 feet away, and further depending on which way the breeze is blowing. Aaah, the smell of camp food... and toilets. Unless we hear that they have improved the toilets, we will probably travel a little further for our summer camping in mountains in southern Utah, California, or Arizona.
In my opinion, the Mt. Charleston area over all is being used at a rate that maintenance and forest service employees cannot keep up. Trails are getting eroded, parking lots are often full, snow sledding is difficult to access, and facilitates such as toilets are not in great condition. I have heard others suggest making Lee and Kyle canyons a fee area, and this may help increase payment for maintenance, but the population and growth of Las Vegas combined with the fact that this is the only cool mountain area within 1 hour of just about any part of Las Vegas Valley, may mean other measures will be needed to avoid having the area feel too overrun.
