Off a rocky access road, Pierce Ferry Road Dispersed sits within Lake Mead National Recreation Area as a small, primitive camping area. The National Park Service manages this free dispersed site, which features established fire rings and allows campfires and pets. Reviewers note the rocky road requires careful navigation and may not suit RVs, though small vehicles and tents handle it well.
The site provides cell service but no facilities—no restrooms, water, or hookups. Campers report finding solitude here, with minimal traffic from other visitors. Commercial rafting companies use the nearby boat ramp for Lake Mead access. For those wanting developed amenities, Happy Trails Campground offers full hookups less than a mile away.
