Enter your Nevada pickup details on the search page and you’ll see insured RVs, motorhomes and camper vans listed by owners and local operators near you.
Every vehicle is listed by its owner — private owners and local rental businesses — and booked through our partner Outdoorsy, with insurance and payment protection on every booking.
RV, Motorhome and Camper Van Rental in Nevada
The choice runs from compact camper vans that are easy to park and manoeuvre near either city’s downtown to full-size Class A motorhomes with a kitchen, bathroom and slide-outs. A camper van or smaller travel trailer is the easier choice for Reno’s mountain-adjacent roads toward Tahoe; a larger motorhome is fine on I-15 near Las Vegas and I-80 near Reno, the state’s main corridors. Las Vegas and Reno sit roughly 7–8 hours apart across the state, effectively two separate trip bases rather than one loop.
Rental cost depends mainly on vehicle class, season and rental length — a camper van is consistently the cheaper option, a Class A or large travel trailer the most expensive, and per-night rates usually drop the longer you book. Spring and fall in Las Vegas, and summer in Reno, are each city’s busiest, priciest stretch; enter your dates above for a live quote rather than a generic average.
Pickup cities in Nevada

Best road trips in Nevada
- Red Rock Canyon — right outside Las Vegas. A 13-mile scenic drive loop through dramatic sandstone formations, an easy half-day.
- Zion National Park — about 2.5 hours from Las Vegas. Red-rock canyon country just over the Utah line.
- Lake Tahoe — about 35–45 minutes from Reno. Alpine lake scenery straddling the Nevada–California line.
- Pyramid Lake — about 40 miles from Reno. A striking turquoise desert lake on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation; a tribal day-use permit is required.
- The Extraterrestrial Highway — Highway 375, north of Las Vegas near Area 51. A genuinely remote, empty stretch of desert road for something different.
Desert driving around Nevada
Summer heat across most of the state, especially around Las Vegas, is intense and genuinely dangerous — carry extra water and avoid strenuous activity in the middle of the day from roughly June through September. Winter and early spring travel over the Sierra passes near Reno, including I-80 over Donner Summit, can require tire chains by California law when crossing into California; carry chains if travelling that route between October and April. Nevada’s Great Basin desert is high and dry throughout, with genuinely cold nights even when days are hot.
When to travel
Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons around Las Vegas, avoiding the worst summer heat. Reno’s peak season is summer, when it’s a popular escape from the desert heat further south and the Sierra passes are fully open. Winter brings snow to the Sierra Nevada near Reno and mild but occasionally cool conditions to Las Vegas.

The park warns that apps can route you to remote locations, so set Lehman Caves Visitor Center or Baker as your destination. See the National Park Service directions page.
