Vegas Glamping
Quick Facts
Why Cottonwood Cove & Lake Mohave
Cottonwood Cove sits on Lake Mohave’s Nevada shore, part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and just an hour south of Las Vegas, with the Colorado River backed by the Davis Dam stretching 67 miles between rugged desert canyon walls. The surrounding Mojave Desert offers houseboat rentals, hidden beaches, and desert bighorn sheep sightings, with Hoover Dam and the historic Route 66 town of Oatman both reasonable day trips.
Vegas Glamping is a genuinely unique desert escape less than an hour from the Las Vegas Strip, with bighorn sheep sightings on the drive in and some of the darkest skies you’ll find near a major city.
