About
State Park
World-renowned for its 40,000 acres of bright red Aztec sandstone outcrops nestled in gray and tan limestone, Valley of Fire State Park contains ancient, petrified trees and petroglyphs dating back more than 2,000 years. A Visitor Center provides exhibits on the geology, ecology, prehistory and history of the park and nearby region. The park also hosts an Annual Atlatl Competition in which participants test their skills with replicas of ancient spears. Open year round, the park has numerous campsites equipped with shaded tables, grills and water, as well as many intriguing trails to tempt hikers.

Big spots, beautiful views, petroglyphs and hiking trails nearby
We’ve been here a few times now, and we always loved it. It’s very quiet in general, the spots are big, the neighbors are not directly on top of you, bathrooms are clean, check in process is very easy. There is wifi in the middle of the campground, we haven’t used it because we have starlink. Cell service is not good but it’s also not completely absent, we have Verizon. The weather in November & January was a lot cooler than expected. We had very cold winds in December and in January it rained. Every time we stayed here we saw Bighorn Sheep passing by our campground which was really neat.
Nice rocks Hot weather
Arch rock campground is further up the road from Atlanta campground. It used to be a first come first serve campground, but just this month changed to a reservation system. If a site is not reserved and it is after 3pm, you can pay the iron ranger $10 for the site. Arch rock sites are more scenic than the other campground, but also more primitive with just vault toilet and water spigots distributed throughout the camp. No electricity. Desert big horn sheep do frequent the area. It can be very hot temperature. Sites are only modestly separated with little screening. Though the sites further up the loop are more dispersed. Each site has sun shade, table, fire ring, and 12’x12’ tent pads. No T-Mobile.
Awesome! If you can get a site...
Absolutely beautiful. Sites are amazing and well cared for. A little Expensive but expected due to amount of campers in area. In among the rock and cliffs, close but still nice. Bighorn herd in among the sites. Water fire rings, grills, close bathrooms. Would give a 10 star if easier to get a site. Come Nevada, enlarge your camp grounds, People love this life! The rest of the park has great hikes and unbelievable scenic drives.
