Excellent place to camp next to the Valley of Fire

It's a really great place to camp very close to the Valley of Fire.  There is a store with a restaurant and gas station about 6-8 miles down the main road. (depending on where you put your camp) The last time I camped here it was extremely windy so it has motivated me to move to a canvas tent although my tent held up, surprisingly.  

It was really quiet, there were other people around but nobody was being loud or anything.  I don't think I'd recommend camping here much past the beginning of May as there is no shade and it heats up during the day.  

I camped here this past week for 4 nights and it was splendid.  I didn't see or hear any coyotes.  But we did have a brief issue with bees being attracted to any water we were using.

Most people camp pretty close to the main road, but if you follow the dirt road down a little further there are some really private sites that are much nicer and it didn't seem like you needed a high clearance vehicle to get back there.
