Nevada offers some of the West's most dramatic landscapes for tent camping, from the red rock formations near Las Vegas to the alpine forests surrounding Lake Tahoe. Tent campers flock to Nevada to experience world-class natural attractions like Valley of Fire State Park, where towering sandstone cliffs create an otherworldly backdrop, and the Mojave Desert's wide-open spaces perfect for stargazing. Whether you're drawn to iconic spots like Red Rock Canyon or seeking solitude in the high desert, Nevada's diverse terrain provides memorable camping experiences year-round.

Outdoorsy Yosemite in Bass Lake, California, offers 141 full-hookup RV sites, four cabins, 10 tent sites, and six glamping sites in the Sierra foothills, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 40 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Superior back-in, premium pull-through, and standard back-in categories join a pool, clubhouse, boat and kayak rentals, and lake access. One hundred forty-one sites run in standard back-in, superior back-in, and premium pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV, sized to 40 feet, with picnic tables. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Four cabins, 10 tent sites, and six glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. Reservation holders must be at least 18, and guests of all ages are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with boat rentals, kayak rentals, and bike rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A clubhouse, game room, billiards, ping pong, basketball, horseshoes, sports courts, walking trails, hiking, mountain biking, a playground, community fire pit, dog park, and on-site dining fill the rest, with strong stargazing and birding. Eighteen miles from Yosemite's South Entrance with Bass Lake's warm water immediately adjacent, this works as both a park basecamp and a lake destination. Summer fills both Yosemite and Bass Lake. Reserve well ahead.

14 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site
Trailer Lane Campground in Weed, California, offers 14 full-hookup RV sites and a tent site in the shadow of Mount Shasta, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 65 feet. Back-in, pull-through, and dedicated van camping sites sit directly off I-5 in Siskiyou County, with a general store and laundry on site. Fourteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 65 feet, with picnic tables. Dedicated van camping sites serve the growing number of guests traveling in converted vans rather than trailers. A general store handles supply needs after long highway stretches, coin-operated laundry serves extended stays, and WiFi reaches the sites. Arrival is between 2:00pm and 6:00pm. On-site facilities are practical rather than recreational — restrooms, laundry, the store, and a dog park. The campground's position directly on the I-5 corridor makes access and departure straightforward for drivers pulling large rigs through mountain terrain, which is the main reason travelers choose it. Pets are welcome. Weed sits where the Shasta Valley's wide grasslands meet the forested slopes of the Cascade Range, at the foot of Mount Shasta — one of the most visually commanding volcanic peaks in North America. The campground serves both through-travelers using I-5 between the Bay Area and Oregon and guests basing themselves to explore the volcanic landscape of interior Northern California. The campground operates through the Siskiyou County season. Summer brings the heaviest I-5 traffic and the best conditions for exploring the Shasta area. With 14 sites, reserve ahead for summer weekends rather than arriving on spec.

Every site carries water, sewer, and electric with cable TV, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. The grounds are gated. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane exchange, and a dump station cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park on site.

Creek frontage, walking trails, and hiking round it out. Willits sits just off US-101 in Mendocino County, at the junction of the redwood country and the road west toward the Mendocino Coast. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. The premium hot tub pull-thrus are limited and book earliest.
