Back in 1990 we decided to aspire to the surrounding area and embrace what this town of Rachel was really all about during this period in history. Thus the name of the Little A'Le'Inn was born. Some believe the name to sound like an inn that serves ale (ale inn), while others believe it to mean alien. We leave this up to you to decide. We like the sounds of both. There are so many memories, so many wonderful people, and so many good times that have been had here in our little establishment. Thank you all for what you have allowed us to do here. This has been my life's dream. Some of those who have shared this dream have passed on and will be remembered forever each and everyday as we pass through the Little A'Le'Inn's front doorway on our way ...... to serve you. Look up as the truth lies there. Always keep your eyes to the skies whenever you can. You just never know when that special event will happen. At those times there may be no answers, leaving you only to wonder what just happened or what you saw, and having to ask more questions... getting no answers. Life is a mystery, enjoy the ride.

I spent a couple of days here in August and did some nude hiking around the rock areas. I had the whole place to myself for most of the time. It was hot, but that's perfect for me since I'm nude all the time. I'd return here when I'm headed to the Lake Mead area in the near future (one of my very favorite nude destinations).
Ranger
Amazing spot. Lots of birds!
RangerBring your boat kayak or paddle boards and enjoy the lake. There is abundant
wildlife to view and peace and quiet.
14 days stay limit and free, unbelievable. There are paths for walking or e-bike riding. We did not go to the Visitor Center but would make sure and check it out next time.
We got the last available spot and counted ourselves blessed. Gets pretty busy here so the earlier in the day you arrive, the better your chance to find a spot.

This place is in the middle of the desert and it is not really pretty. And yet, it is worth a visit. This is all about Area 51 and the stories around it (we met a guy that claimed he would communicate with aliens there). If you’re into it, enjoy! The guys at the restaurant are really nice. Only downside: you can only use the bathroom during opening hours. One night should be enough.
Scout
I didn't want to leave but we were running out of previsions. However before we left I hit a rather large root in the pathway and popped a tire. It is all dirt roads. I had to change a tire on a soft dirt road, it was almost impossible. We caught some sprinkles, which was awesome to escape the Las Vegas heat. The hike at sawmill was great. Not to hard. We made it to a peak. Seen horse's, lizards rabbits, and preying mantis. No amenities or water source. There is no fires allowed, stoves ok. There is a picnic area at sawmill trailhead with tables, grills and bathrooms. A few minutes walk or about 1 minute drive. I will be back. It is first come first serve there are no fees except gas and maybe a tire.

ScoutWe have stayed here a few times with no issue. The people that answer the phone are nice and helpful. We stayed at this park along our commute to Oregon.
Full Hook Ups.
Easy to get into the park and easy to get situated.
All dirty, with concrete pads for your RV or Trailer.
Not a bad spot, felt safe and headed out the next day during our commute.

We arrived at the campground in the early afternoon on a Friday. There was no one at the gate but we had reserved a site so we did not need to check in. Our site was ready for us so we quickly set up camp. Our site was #16. It was spacious and clean. The views from the windows were great. The sites are a little close to each other but not too close. Our site was an end site so we had plenty of private space. We had electric and water hookups. All worked well. The bathrooms at the campground were clean. The showers were large and private and water pressure was good. It is a quarter for 4 minutes but it seemed to run much longer. The campground has a little free library if you want a book to read and also offers firewood for a "donation". The state park is very nice and has some nice trails to walk on. Dogs are allowed on the trails. The location of the campground was convenient for exploring the area. We did have some military jets fly over the campground on Friday evening and again on Monday. I guess they give the locals a break from their practice on the weekends. The area is beautiful and there are lots of cool places to visit especially if you like rockhounding and history. We did not have any cell service for 4 days in this area. Verizon is the only tower and we have T-mobile.
Scout
Full hookups for $13 (plus $5 to use sewer), level sites and 4 bars on Verizon. A couple dirt bikers on nearby trails during the day, very quiet in the evening (only 2 other rigs). Not pristine; a good bit of horse dung around but it is a rodeo grounds so no surprise. Only drawback was bathrooms were closed. Would definitely stay there again.
ScoutI've stayed here once before and wanted to stay again and found no open spots. The camp host Marian found me a great spot. She is the best 😁
RangerFun little spot for the night right off the 93. BLM land. You can see two distinct rock croppings off the highway. Turn down a dirt road and then right on the first turn off. There are two or three areas where you can camp. Probably not the best for long term, but great for a night and pretty secluded. The back drop of the rocks makes it feel even more remote. I had good Verizon cell service. You don’t really hear the noise from the highway. About a mile off the highway. Good soft dirt. 
TravelerArrived late afternoon and the cafe was closed which was understandable. We were looking to stay the night and a kind gentleman said we could do some dispersed camping opposite the cafe for free! Their hookups weren’t on because the tills were off but we were just happy to be in the area. Would go back! Lovely flat space and great scenery
TravelerThere was no one around the entire night, and for the price, it was very nice with all the hookups for $13.00. The weather was windy and stormy in the distance, which made for excellent sleeping weather and a beautiful sunset and sunrise. Some cattle were in pens not far off, but otherwise, it was vacant.
Alamo is a small Mormon town, so it felt safe even though we were the only people in the area. When it got dark, there was a quad driving in circles very close, and sometimes coming directly at us. I was a little nervous about being alone out there so I called 911, and they sent an officer out. By then, the quad had gone, but we felt safer because the officer said he would be nearby all night.
The area has a large lake and a river running through it and is very lush and green in some places. They sell fishing supplies if you feel like fishing in the middle of the desert. :-) I highly recommend it as a nice stop-over.
The Sinclair gas station has a well-stocked grocery store, but they're a dry county so if you want a beer you need to go 7 miles up to Hiko and you'll be able to buy beer and wine.
GuideWe had planned to stay the night here as a mid point stop between Bryce Canyon and Mono Lake. Pulled in and every space was open. But the vibe was sketchy. Toilet paper and trash everywhere. Close to the road and minimal privacy. Despite being tired of the road we decided to push on for another 4-5 hours. I would only consider this if you were simply too exhausted to go further. Then I’d lock the doors and sleep lightly…
Scout
This spot is really unique, if your like me, you like to be away from the crowd. Then this the perfect spot for you. Very clear sky, full of stars and STRANGE unexplainable activity. The owner took my call. Very nice an attentive. I would recommend watching his video on how to get to the property as it is a few miles south inland from the highway. Bring your own fire wood and connect with nature..
RangerStopped here short of intended destination due to lateness of the hour and long drive. Great sites along the lake with tables and fire rings and fireplaces. Able to set up in one of the RV sites next to the water. Bike trails available, boating allowed but no swimming. Visitor center is nearby. Reasonable temps. Proximity of water does mean bugs of all kinds(gnats, nozzles, dragonflies etc.) 8 person occupancy. Only downside is proximity to the highway but not as heavily trafficked as it could be.
TravelerI have stayed at this campground a couple of times now on my way to/from Las Vegas. The lake is so pretty. Plentiful wildlife. A great 3.1 mile loop around the lake to shake out the legs. Camp hosts are friendly and helpful. Pit toilets are clean. The only drawback is the highway noise. Trucks/traffic noise all night.
Traveler
The drive on 375 was decent road, all uphill but not bad. Great views. Drive back down was super easy! A bit disappointed as the app had said showers and toilets.
TravelerThere is so much hwy traffic that it makes it hard to sleep.
Staff approach you unfriendly and confrontational before they even get a chance to understand what you are doing. We were sitting in the shade of a tree in the next camp spot as there was zero shade in ours and instead of understanding or having any conversation the staff approached us like we were criminals. We were barely encroaching on the next camp and were literally just sitting in the shade getting relief from a blazing hot day, with no shade in our camp spot. And staff came at us aggressively and acusaltional. Two female campers, sitting quietly reading books in their shade. Camp spot #15 requires a HC plaque and we were watching everyone who came by to see if they were HC at which time we would happily move out of the shade of the tree separating the two camps. But the staff made us feel so uncomfortable and so not understanding or people friendly that we couldn't even talk to him nor have a conversation about it.
No campfire pit in #14 as well and #15 had no one all weekend, What a waste.
ScoutBeautiful place to stay. Even though it’s right next to the road the mounds help buffer a bit. The lake & wildlife in amazing. We will definitely stay here again.
TravelerThis is an OK spot to stop on your way through going north or south, but probably not the best place to stay for more than a day or two. The people are extremely accommodating, and the spots are easy to get in and out of. The price is great for what you get and the Wi-Fi it’s just fine. There is a grocery store right next-door and a gas station but that’s about it. I couldn’t get any network connection through my cell phone, so it was a good thing we had Wi-Fi. The owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. 
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt! We're so happy to have this new partner on our platform! Tent camping, the least light pollution in this part of the world, and maybe even a UFO sighting. Come give this place a try and leave your review here.

For in town, it’s superb! Beautiful views, little to do and the store is expensive.
The Rangers were very helpful in telling us some of the secret spots as well.
Things to do and hiking the area is a must!
Definitely stop here for a night or two!
LegendWe didn’t stay in the Primitive camping because it was $15 a night. We ended up staying on the road in a pull-off section.
The road was flooded and in very bad shape. The site was very spacious.
There looked to be a Pull-behind in one area with no vehicle. A resident i presume.
The mountain view was spectacular. Very cold as it snowed the day we decided to set up.
We heard a coyote just outside our camper around 3am. It’s howls echoed throughout the range.
Right next to a railroad track. There is no crossing so the trains don’t blow their whistles through there. We are used to trains as we have a home along the Mississippi river and about 10 yards away from BNSF railway. Felt like home.
I would come back for sure, in warmer months.
Scout
This is BLM land and we did not stay at the campground but on a level spot a few miles away. The camp has nice sites and shade structures. We saw quite a few wild horses too! There is a lot of stuff to explore in this area, especially if you have a 4x4 or SxS. Very dark area so lots of stars. Beautiful area so please leave it nicer than you found it.
