About

Hilltop Campground is perched at 8,400 feet in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, providing a cool escape from the Las Vegas heat with sweeping views of the Mojave Desert below and the Spring Mountains above. The area is a biological island in the desert, home to ancient Bristlecone pines and the rare Mount Charleston blue butterfly. Stands of juniper, mountain mahogany, and ponderosa pine provide limited shade throughout the 35-site campground. The North Loop-Mt. Charleston National Recreation Trail begins just a quarter-mile from camp, and nearby trailheads at Robber's Roost and the CCC Trail offer additional hiking options. The Spring Mountains Visitor Center is a short drive away, offering guided hikes and educational programs. More than 60 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails crisscross the recreation area, with two trails open to mountain biking. All sites include a picnic table, fire ring, and grill with paved roads and parking spurs. Some sites have stairs from the parking area to the campsite. Vault toilets and trash collection are provided, but campers must bring all water needed as no potable water is available on site. The campground operates seasonally from May through November as weather and conditions allow.
