Gass Peak Rd Camping Area

3 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A dirt road leads into open terrain within the Desert National Wildlife Range, and the drive in is rough enough to keep crowds thin. This free, dispersed site managed by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sits north of campgrounds around Las Vegas, with open sightlines toward the city that are visible at night. Cell service is available. One recent reviewer noted the area near the road may have limited space for tents, and late-night OHV traffic has been reported. Bring all supplies, as there are no facilities on site.

Many visitors appreciated this remote off-grid spot with stunning 360-degree views and guaranteed solitude. However, access is now restricted and occasional late-night OHV activity can disrupt the peaceful experience.

Not good anymore

This used to be an area where you can camp but it is closed off now. You can maybe park 3 cars and then walk to a spot to setup a tent. About 1:30 in the morning, at least 20 OHVs came by blasting Mexican music and waving Mexican flags. Just ruined the experience.

Wonderful. Would recommend. 10/10

Pretty sunset, desolate dirt road to arrive. Guarantees that no one else will be in this spot…this is your spot. Wonderful little camping spot in the middle of nowhere. If your on a road trip, and looking for a nice place to lay thy head, don’t hesitate, you will not pop your tire. Lovely view of Vegas. :) 🏕
