3. Valley of Fire Dispersed
Overton, Nevada20 Reviews•55 Photos•354 SavesCamping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources. Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska). Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.

Valley of Fire Dispersed
Spacious site
We stayed for one night, loads of space, fairly level as well. Just a little bit off the road and really quiet.

TravelerGregg's Hideout — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Water level too low, ok for some nude hiking and camping
I was here in August (just now getting around to writing some reviews). Of course it was hot then, but that's perfect weather for me since I'm nude all the time when I travel, camp and hike. Did some nude hiking and pretty much had the area all to myself. Water level was very low so access there was a hike.

Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Mostly ok
Well the Camphost Bob is amazing. 1/2 of the campers are folks passing through and either keep to themselves or are kind. 1/4 are homeless from Vegas, that kept to themselves and then there was the one bad one that was supposedly passing through that went to jail. Just be mindful of your area and belongings.

Las Vegas Bay Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
So Close, yet So Far
Quiet beautifully maintained campground with a dump station, portable water, spigots near restrooms and flush toilets. Firings and picnic tables at each site. Very few sites for rigs over 26’. A few larger sites are offered, but be certain to check what size can be accommodated. Most sites are wide enough to park a 26’ trailer and tow vehicle side-by-side. Some vegetation but not much shade. This is the desert! One beautiful trail about a mile and a half long starts behind campsite number 74.Just minutes from the city of Henderson with all the shopping you could ask for and a short distance but LOTS of traffic to the Las Vegas Strip. Hoover Dam is about 30 mins and Valley of Fire 1.3 hours.

Beautiful and wild
We loved it here, stayed the one night to break up the journey. The directions are great, and there are two sites here, we stayed in the second. It was nice and level. The views were beautiful, and having all the space and quiet to ourselves was magical. Didn't see any snakes or other critters.

Too expensive
We booked about 4months ago and were quoted$54. When we got here I was told their rates went up yesterday to$82. That's almost$30! Had I known I would have booked elsewhere. Their website still says$52. Overpriced.

Arch Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park
Hot and beautiful
Went at the wrong time of year because it was very hot and we had no AC, yikes. The rocks retain all the daytime heat and then release that stored heat through the night.
At a better time of year, when it is cool, it would be a great place to visit, hike and explorer.

One sweet place to camp in winter
We absolutely love this place. Need reservations early. Well maintained. Too hot in summer.

Stunning but Hot 🔥
One of the most beautiful campgrounds ever. We had campground 8 and it was great. Very isolated and it had shade in the morning and evening. Unfortunately we only stayed a single night because the temperature was 108° during the day.

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake
Seems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.

Lovely Little Campsite
Our first time camping in Nevada, and first time camping for my son. It's only 40 mins away from us. We went there the weekend before my son's school starts as last hurrah. It was a great way to scape Vegas heat. It hits 64 Lows during early morning and up to 78 on daytime. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I got lucky getting a FF site #6. I went on Friday afternoon and came back Saturday morning to book it for two nights. Left early Sunday evening.
Although most people has trailers and RVs, we had a 9 person tent and plenty of fun. The site we got was perfectly closed to the restroom which was a plus since my brother was on crutches. Site has 30A, 50A,110 Power. Water spigot was also just a step away from the site. There's a little creek on the side, but dried up for summer. Water might be on during rainy days or when snow melts. It's by the side of the highway so you will hear some loud cars time to time, but not too bothersome. It's very quite at night, except for the soothing cricket sounds.
We will be back for sure!

Arch Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park
Incredible experience
What a magical night spent surrounded by red rock. We stayed in campsite 21 from a previous reviewer and it was amazing. Gorgeous scenery and rams walking around. There was some toilets at the entrance, hot showers available for free at neighboring campsite. We had absolutely no phone service here. Private picnic table with cover and fire pit for each site. Definitely a must visit but be prepared for the heat and sand!

WORST RV PARK!!
This is the worst RV park ever they are infested with cockroaches there's no maintenance whatsoever at the property they don't pick up trash they don't maintain sites they don't mow the grass for the pets it's utterly disgusting the bathroom showers are disgusting patched up drywall crumbling from the shower nozzles. Overall people in the office are rude when you make suggestion.

Realy good spot.
Great little spot to stop on the way. Far enought from main road. Fantastic sky at night.
Donna H.GuideArch Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park
Sublime.
This entire region is breathtakingly beautiful. The campground is small with a pit toilet at one end. My large, private spot backed up to spectacular rock formations. There was water at the site, but no electric. The dump station was located as you exited the campground and perfect for my needs. Absolutely loved it there. My dog and I were greeted by a pair of bighorn sheep that hung around the area the entire time we were there. Absolutely loved it.

Echo Bay Lower Campground — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Horrible
This campground is the worse in lake mead rec area! Nothing has been done, no lights in the bathroom half the toilets are half functional, the guys who drives around in his canam is always drunk an shirtless claims he is the maitance man for the area,
If you have children I do not recommend camping here better places for the same price. Las vagas bay! The parks service is a disgrace when it comes to keeping echo bay up to date will never return for my children to be exposed to drunk park employee,
The store is over priced an misleading as the sign says showers but you must stay at the rv park for those amenities this whole little campground is a joke! Most people don't even pay

Easy access from I-15
After climbing the giant hills out of Baker, my 1984 Vanagon was ready for a rest. We pulled off at Bailey Road and it was quickly dirt road, but certainly manageable for any SUV or Truck. After about 10 minutes (3.1 miles) there were campsites. Plenty of spaces and spread out. HOT in the late spring but overnight temperatures were excellent at about 65F.
Ryan N.ScoutW Big Wash Road Dispersed
Perfect for a quick overnight stay
The two spots are about 1.5 miles off the highway on a dirt road, you'll see a spot off the right on a narrow trail. BLM property. Free-roaming cows, didn't bother us at all. Beautiful sunset on our nights stay. The second spot is just around the first corner after the first one, less used, but probably flatter. Could hear the highway, but wasn't bothersome.

The coolest
This might be one of the coolest state park campsites ever! Being tucked away in the giant rocks was awesome! Easy walking distance to the pit toilets. Site was very unlevel, but thankfully someone dug a shallow “hole” that worked for us to put our back tire in and it made our camper level. Thankful for the covered picnic tables as well. No hook ups was fine with me as I enjoy primitive camping. Atlatl campground has a bathhouse with showers to use.

Excellent famcamp with a very friendly staff. All sites are FHU with 50/30 amp water and sewer. Clean bathrooms and showers and inexpensive laundry.

Pull off spot
Great little pull off camp spot. I wouldn’t spend more than one night here. The cows are super cute to wake up to. I didn’t smell them at all. The road is a little washboard and there aren’t a lot of good turn around spots. Overall very happy with the spot. It was quiet and perfect for a road trip camp spot.
Liz Y.ScoutW Big Wash Road Dispersed
Beautiful remote spot
Gave only 3 stars due to sketchy cell (AT&T) and no internet. Only 2 spots, but there was a fire ring and free roaming cows. Great for an overnight stay.

Valley of Fire Dispersed
Amazing views
Really cool campground just outside of the valley of fire. Hills on one side and an open plain on the other. Rocky road probably requires higher clearance. Road was slightly flooded when I was there but cleared up by the morning. Plenty of spaces, no services. Very beautiful place
Christina A.ScoutSandy Valley Road
Garbage everywhere
Lots of spots, but the area is trashed. Garbage all over the place and used tires, looks like folks use this area as a dump. Also looks like there are some folks living in a fifth wheel near the highway.
