Arch Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park

You can now make reservations! If you want to feel like you are alone but not be, #24 is for you. Site 24 is surrounded by red rocks hiding all the other campsites on a well-maintained dirt road. There is a little canyon behind the site with great rock scrambling opportunities, even a little arch rock. Site 22 is also nestled into the red rock, but campsite#23 is viewable right across the road. At dusk every night we had a herd of desert big horn sheep come through munching on shrubbery that grows along the road and campsites. There are no hookups in Arch Rock Campground, but a dump station is close by. We had no Verizon service in the campground or most of Valley of Fire state park. The visitor center is very informative and the only place you will find snacks and souvenirs as well as internet service. Atlatl Campground offers hookups, showers and Wi-Fi services for an extra fee. Valley of Fire State Park offers loads of hiking opportunities, and many are short easy trails. On these hikes you can view petroglyphs, petrified logs and unique rock formations. In the month of January our temperature was in the low 50’s Fahrenheit to low 30’s. Beware that in the summer months temperatures can be up to 120 Fahrenheit.

Secluded site.

Nice campground in Valley of Fire State Park. There are two campgrounds close together. Atlatl rock has hook ups, flush toilets and hot showers. Arch Rock has water at each site along with pit toilets. My favorite campsites were at Arch rock. Both are first come, first serve. We arrived at 1:00 on our first day (a Wednesday) but there were no campsites available. So we went back out the West entrance and stayed on dispersed camping and tried again the next day. We went at 10 and were successful. Beautiful area, we will be back!
