in reading this thread I decided to check into a few in your area and I found one that is just sooooo ironic -- I will share it here.
Las Vegas Mormon Fort National State Park. It doesn't provide camping though. But I think it'd be CLASSIC and JUST... to have our very own lil PRIDE parade.. in full fashion.. hell , I might even let Xal paint me as a leprechaun again just for the damn sheer audacity of it !!!!
Gawd sakes I just Love the idea of walking arm in arm with other women walking across their ' fort' as we defy their reasons for casting judgement and hatred on us during PROP HATE . Hell why not go topless and put one of our rainbow flags on the roof of their fort ? Oh, I have some grand ideas in this head of mine.. but, for now they will stay there.
It'd be damn well worth the trip to spend a few hours there and blend their history............ with some of our own. ; )

LMAO at the kewlness!!
ok we found a campground at lake mead.[url] http://www.nps.gov/lame/planyourvisit/campinglakemead.htm[/url] not that far out of Las Vegas and has tent camping and RV sites. There are also group sites at some of the places and its fairly cheep i dont know how far in advance i need to make the reservation tho i will be calling monday. the max persons at a campsite is 30. I would love to have to reserve 2 but i am not getting my hopes up. And i will be looking at sometime in Aug as that's really the only thing i have heard for dates.

Star-- umm
not to put a damper on your efforts but ..
ya might wanna check the opening page for that place. This was there when I checked.
LAKE MOHAVE: Dead carp washing up on beaches in some areas, water safe for swimming, Marinas, tours still open.
how can the water ' be safe for swimming' if the fish that live there are dying? ** jus something to think about**
Lake Mohave and Lake Mead are in the same campground ... and there's this lil tidbit>>>>
While not a persistent, widespread problem, the “Swimmer’s Itch” parasite is believed to be present in Lakes Mead and Mohave.
I'm all for staying out of the waters there... but i'm wondering if the same water from these lakes is piped in to the showers?
maybe some questions to ask the people when you call on Monday yanno.
Again, thanks for all your efforts in this. It's not easy to plan or please everyone..

ok i have tried to find a nice shaded campground but have come up with nothing in or around Vegas. So i offer up my apartment either the first or second weekend of Aug. There is plenty of free stuff to do in Vegas and Gabe is a good cook!! If they get their butts in gear and get it open we have a pool too! So if your up for a "Camp IN" let me know which weekend works better and we will go from there!
Aug 7th, 8th and 9th or !4th, 15th and 16th! If you dont want to sleep on the floor bring an air mat or i can look around for cheep hotel rooms!

my place will have a few a places to sleep at too (in vegas.) Lake Mead is not the cleanest lake. nice in the mornings buttt....eh. Might be a bit too hot to be camping out during the day. we could aim for a big ole sweet at one of the nice hotels on the strip if everyone pitches in a few bucks. and for those who are 21 and up there is a drag show on fridays/saturdays to attend. lots of fun.
august would be good if we shoot for then.

Ok, so we haven't really found a good campground here and besides summer is so not the time to be w/o shade in Vegas. SO the option is for a camp IN either crashing here at myplace or if we can get enough people seeing about a sweet at a casino... my be able to swing a discount at Planet Hollywood, will have to see... I am thinking the first or second weekend in Aug. that would be the 7th - 9th or the 14th -16th. what works from people?? _________________ I'm not ready to let go
