What are some places in the US where I should avoid going camping?

Q. Other than the obvious, Golden Gate Park, other towns, the middles of rivers and oceans, and Florida.

Answer
Next to me...

Seriously...Lake Mead National Recreation Area - most people's idea of camping in Vegas is to party at the lake. It's loud and crowded at Boulder Beach. Not a lot of fun.

Supai, AZ - While the falls are awesome, the campground is awful. Overflowing pit toilets (poop ovens we called them), WAY overcrowded (people on top of you), and "car camping" 10 miles from the car (I could not believe what people had packed down by horse - cots, coolers, BIG tents...not like backpacking at all). And noisy. Oh...and one runs the risk of being assaulted or worse.

Las Vegas, NV?

kk i'm from Arizona, getting new job in Las Vegas with regional manager, love off-roading, and jet skis.

Jet Ski at lake Mead okay, but what about camping, rockcrawling etc?
Thanks for the advise!! Also meant as rock crawling, jeeps type offroading... thanks!

Answer
Yes. But you'll need a boat to get to the good camping spots on Lake Mead. Or else you have to carry your tent and other gear on your jet skiis. We go camping there, and on Lake Mohave (the water is warmer and it's prettier than Lake Mead) and the Colorado River. (cold water!!) All good spots.

You can go rock climbing at Red Rock Canyon. And there's other places to camp too.

Edited to add: Yes, offroading here. Of course, lots of desert.
