Pahrump, A RV Mecca

Pahrump, Nevada. I've never been there and all I've known about it is that former Coast To Coast radio show host Art Bell used to live there, which led to a "hat tip" from Tim Burton in Mars Attacks! Until now, that's about it.

It is roughly 63 miles from Pahrump to Las Vegas.

According to the Good Sam Club, Pahrump is a "Mecca" for RVers.

There’s a reason Pahrump, NV was dubbed “RV-er’s Paradise.” There are three perfectly-rated 10/10/10 RV Resorts – Lakeside Casino and RV Park, Wine Ridge RV Resort & Cottages and Nevada Treasure RV Resort, not to mention, the town has a considerable amount of other highly rated RV parks to choose from.

There are places to hike, do water sports, wineries, attend a hot air balloon festival, a fall festival and firearm training. And, of course, gambling.
