Since we toured much of Californina last summer we decided to head to the Northwest this summer, staying in as many Thousand Trails parks as we can. Our first big stop on the way north is in Las Vegas. We had been to Vegas once for a few days, but this time we’ll be here for 3 weeks so we can see more of the area.
The drive from Mesa was pretty uneventful, through a whole lot of desert and a few medium sized mountains. Fortunately, our new truck had no problem with the hills – and it’s SO much quieter than our old one!
As we were researching the Thousand Trails park in Las Vegas we heard a lot of negative reviews, and also a few positive ones. We debated and decided to give it a try. Now that we’re here we really don’t understand what all the negative reviews were about. The sites are definitely tight, which we expected, but the park is fine. We have been here a few days now and our only complaint is some barking dogs, which is an issue in many RV parks and campgrounds. Fortunately, they don’t bark all the time, just a lot! We’ve had a lot of really windy days since we’ve been here, one with gusts up to 75 mph! It makes us think maybe it’s not so bad being close to our neighbors – it helps buffer the wind some!

The place gets a bad rap from a lot of ‘campers’ that complain about tight sites and helicopters and sirens. It’s in the eastern edge of a major city – not sure what they expect – you’re not out in the middle of nowhere in some rural area … it’s Las Vegas for cryin’ out loud! We’ve been in much tighter campgrounds and far worse cities – LOL, try New Orleans – where they tell you when you check in don’t walk home at night, take a cab – even though it’s 3 blocks from the French Quarter.
