Hitchin’ Post RV Park

While in Las Vegas we stayed at the Hitchin’ Post RV Park.  We chose it based on the fact that it was the closest RV park to Valley of Fire.  There is a campground at Valley of Fire, but it’s first come, first serve and we are too risk aversive for that.  I’m not sure our bus would make it through some of the low spots in the roads.  We have very little ground clearance.

Anyway, we hate the Hitchin’ Post.  We don’t like the layout.  Streets are very narrow.  At first we thought they were one way only, that’s how narrow they are.  The rule against vehicles encroaching into the streets is poorly enforced.  There is a gate through which you must enter and exit.  Getting out requires a sharp turn to make it through the gate.  We made it, but we didn’t like it.



The power pedestal did not have a breaker.  We don’t like plugging in without the breaker turned off.  The cover for the receptacle was broken off, if it rained, it would have been hitting one of the prongs on the plug.

Power was good, water pressure was good.  The Verizon 4G worked well.  No data on laundry or restrooms.  Interior roads used to be paved, now they’re kind of a broken surface with dirt.  Sites are a fine powder sand that tracks everywhere.  There are many trees that want to scratch your RV’s paint.

The park is very close to Nellis AFB.  They do fly at night, all night.  There were many sirens. 
This was not a repeater for us.

  4. Not sure the good outweighs the bad. No repeater sounds good.
