    Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.

    Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).

    Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.

    Western Diamondback Rattlesnake

    Seems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.

    Incredible experience

    What a magical night spent surrounded by red rock. We stayed in campsite 21 from a previous reviewer and it was amazing. Gorgeous scenery and rams walking around. There was some toilets at the entrance, hot showers available for free at neighboring campsite. We had absolutely no phone service here. Private picnic table with cover and fire pit for each site. Definitely a must visit but be prepared for the heat and sand!

    Sublime.

    This entire region is breathtakingly beautiful. The campground is small with a pit toilet at one end. My large, private spot backed up to spectacular rock formations. There was water at the site, but no electric. The dump station was located as you exited the campground and perfect for my needs. Absolutely loved it there. My dog and I were greeted by a pair of bighorn sheep that hung around the area the entire time we were there. Absolutely loved it.

    Echo Bay Lower Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    Horrible

    This campground is the worse in lake mead rec area! Nothing has been done, no lights in the bathroom half the toilets are half functional, the guys who drives around in his canam is always drunk an shirtless claims he is the maitance man for the area,

    If you have children I do not recommend camping here better places for the same price. Las vagas bay! The parks service is a disgrace when it comes to keeping echo bay up to date will never return for my children to be exposed to drunk park employee,

    The store is over priced an misleading as the sign says showers but you must stay at the rv park for those amenities this whole little campground is a joke! Most people don't even pay

    Perfect for a quick overnight stay

    The two spots are about 1.5 miles off the highway on a dirt road, you'll see a spot off the right on a narrow trail. BLM property. Free-roaming cows, didn't bother us at all. Beautiful sunset on our nights stay. The second spot is just around the first corner after the first one, less used, but probably flatter. Could hear the highway, but wasn't bothersome.

    The coolest

    This might be one of the coolest state park campsites ever! Being tucked away in the giant rocks was awesome! Easy walking distance to the pit toilets. Site was very unlevel, but thankfully someone dug a shallow “hole” that worked for us to put our back tire in and it made our camper level. Thankful for the covered picnic tables as well. No hook ups was fine with me as I enjoy primitive camping. Atlatl campground has a bathhouse with showers to use.

    Pull off spot

    Great little pull off camp spot. I wouldn’t spend more than one night here. The cows are super cute to wake up to. I didn’t smell them at all. The road is a little washboard and there aren’t a lot of good turn around spots. Overall very happy with the spot. It was quiet and perfect for a road trip camp spot.

    Beautiful remote spot

    Gave only 3 stars due to sketchy cell (AT&T) and no internet. Only 2 spots, but there was a fire ring and free roaming cows. Great for an overnight stay.

    Lovely park

    I stayed here 2 winters, and I love this park. It's in the middle of the desert, between two great towns. It's really quiet, no light pollution at night so you can see the Milky Way, the mountain views are spectacular everywhere you look, and if you're a rockhound like myself, this area is a little piece of heaven. This park is managed by some of the nicest, most accommodating people I've met in my almost 6 years full time running around the country. The bathrooms and laundry rooms are always sparking clean, the clubhouse has a homey community feel, this place is just awesome. I couldn't say enough good things about it. I'll be going back for a month next week, in fact. Two winters so I now have friends I wanna visit🥰

    Amazing views

    Really cool campground just outside of the valley of fire. Hills on one side and an open plain on the other. Rocky road probably requires higher clearance. Road was slightly flooded when I was there but cleared up by the morning. Plenty of spaces, no services. Very beautiful place

    Will Return!

    The campground was easy to find with well-spaced sites. If you have a few in your group, some sites are large enough to accommodate. There are many fire pits already assembled.

    Easy to find and relax after seeing the valley of fire

    Easy to find spot right off the main road. If you go through the valley of fire watch for mountain goats. Pretty open spots, fire rings made of rocks, and if you like to walk around looking at rocks there are some neat ones lol Side note: Valley of fire does not take some park passes fyi, at the time they said no America the beautiful passes. I had to go through there to get here but it was beautiful.

    Lower CG review

    The lower CG is bigger but most sites are very small and suitable for tenters, the sites on the open lower end (13-20) are best for TTs and RVs, but no shade. CG has dumpsters, water but no cell signal, whereas the upper CG does get a cell signal. Sites are now cashless and you can either reserve or pay online as you choose a site, no FCFS like previous years. Guess you need to go up to upper CG to get cell though? This lower CG is close to the marina mini Mart store.
