  Quiet haven

  Bring 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.

  Nice

  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.

  Excellent

  I'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 😁

  Great location with lake

  Stopped 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.

  Pretty Lake

  I 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.

  So much noise and unfriendly staff

  There 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.

  Beautiful 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.

  Okay spot on the way through

  This 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.

  Basecamp for exploring

  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.

  Convenient stop over , very friendly !

  Alamo is an oasis in a otherwise long stretch of road. Park is family owned and operated, clean and neat bathrooms. Recommend and will stay again.

  Was full, stayed across the street.

  Stayed: 5/28/2022

  Cost: FREE

  Site: N/A

  Vehicle: GMC Terrain

  Equipment: Car

  AT&T and T-Mobile: Good Service

  CAMPGROUND WAS FULL- DID NOT STAY HERE– BACKUP ACROSS THE STREET

  Was a nice campground, would be great to stay here.

  We were on our way to Great Basin from Las Vegas and this was essentially the only option. We arrived around 9PM and the Pahranagat National Wildlife campground was full. Another review below mentioned an open space across the street that they used. It took us a minute to find it, but the entrance is DIRECTLY across the street from the Wildlife entrance.

  We were the only ones, but you can tell others had been using this place. There were plenty of tracks and fire pits. It felt a little weird being there alone, but this did the trick when there isn’t anything else for miles and miles. See video to get an idea of the layout.

  Hidden Gem

  This small BLM trail head campground is a hidden gem. There are a few level areas, overall most spots you can level your rig with ease. Clean volt toilets and a couple of 55 gallon trash cans, no water or dump. We were here at the end of March, it was quite and only a few campers. We stayed a week.

  Windy, desolate, noisy

  03/22/2022 Rode in on motorcycles and checked in at check-in station. Looked for open sites and settled on site 11, which was built upon a mound. Had to park the bikes at the bottom and carry gear to the top of the mound, which provided a partial view from the top. One of the tent pads was hidden between some bushes which was good for some partial wind coverage. After setting up camp we went for a 3-4 mile walk around the lake, didn’t see much wildlife besides a few birds. Didn’t get to use the firepit due to high winds so bed time came pretty early after dinner. The vault bathrooms were clean, not smelly at all. Unfortunately there is constant road noise from the main road being about 75 feet away from the camp sites, and numerous cars hit the rumble strips causing even more noise. Right before bed time there were two large explosions that sounded like a bomb went off right across the lake, but I think it was from the aircraft bombing range nearby. There are no trash cans on site so prepare to pack out all trash. A few mice came out shortly after sundown so keep all food away from things you don’t want chewed through, like backpacks and tents. No other animals were seen during our stay. Camp sites were clean, neighbors were quiet, but the stay was quite boring and windy. Verizon service was good, no 5G but had full bars of 4G. Able to stream videos and check email/social media if needed. There is a gas station 5 miles away that is open from 5am-9pm.
  This campsite is a good spot to stay if you just need a free place to stay for the night and can sleep through road noise.

  Beautiful and peaceful spot

  I stayed here in mid September on my way to Great Basin Natl Park and I couldn't have chosen a better spot. I put down my name in the registration book and drove up a mile or so up on the dirt road. I was all alone enjoying a quiet and peaceful night. There were a couple of people who camped in the area where the registration book and informational leaflets are, but I honestly would recommend going a further out if you want to enjoy the solitude.

  Great spot for mountain biking and off roading

  It’s operated by BLM so it off grid and dispersed. Make sure you bring supplies. If you bike or have an off-road vehicle it’s a perfect spot.

  Ok for only a night

  Camping spots are way to close to eachother and the hwy is right next to the camp sites. Other then that it's a beautiful area.

  Great spots close the freeway

  There are approx. 14 camping spots between the freeway and the lake. The one's I saw had fire rings and grills with great views overlooking the lake. There is quite a bit of freeway noise though.

  This'll do in a pinch....not bad, not great.

  After a long, hot, WINDY ride down the ET Highway, I was ready for a stop.  I found this place via The Dyrt.  A bit difficult to find the actual entrance, to the north of the camps.  The Visitor Center, to the south, was closed.  The camps are rather exposed, but right on the water's edge.  Most were filled, as it is 'first-come' camping.  I was able to share spot #3 with a big motorhome in #2.  Pretty cute extremes in camping.  The camp host was kind, and had no problem with me setting up a clothes line for drying my sweaty gear.  Pit toilets are only at the two ends of the camping area, so plan ahead.  It was about a 5-minute walk from #2, for #2.  Quite a few bugs got me during the evening hours, but not too bad.  Fun to watch the Mexican free-tail bats come out in the evening.

  Easy access

  Easy access from highway. Several flat pull-through campsites. Clean restrooms, garbage cans, fire pits, tables. I stayed there on a Friday night in late March and was the only camper there.
