Best Campgrounds near Bunkerville, NV

555 Reviews

The desert landscapes surrounding Bunkerville, Nevada provide a strategic base for exploring both developed campgrounds and remote dispersed sites. Located near the Nevada-Arizona border, this area serves as a gateway to Valley of Fire State Park, Gold Butte National Monument, and the Virgin River recreation areas. RV enthusiasts will find several full-hookup options in nearby Mesquite, including Casa Blanca Resort Casino and Sun Resorts RV Park, while those seeking more natural settings can explore the BLM lands extending from the Virgin River corridor. The region's camping options range from casino-adjacent RV parks with full amenities to primitive desert campsites with panoramic views of the Mojave Desert's striking red rock formations.

Road conditions vary significantly throughout the area, with many dispersed camping areas requiring high-clearance vehicles. As one camper noted about Whitney Pockets, "Must have good tires and high clearance... many pot holes and hard gravel roads in the area." Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, making spring and fall the preferred camping seasons. Winter brings milder daytime temperatures but can drop below freezing at night. Cell service is generally reliable near Mesquite but becomes spotty to non-existent in more remote areas like Gold Butte. Many Valley of Fire campsites operate on a first-come, first-served basis, creating competition for spots. "You have to be very patient to score a site," reported one visitor, who recommended arriving early or checking for departures around checkout time.

The dramatic red rock landscapes define the camping experience in this region. Valley of Fire State Park's campgrounds consistently receive high ratings for their unique settings. "Being tucked away in the giant rocks was awesome!" wrote one camper about Arch Rock Campground. Wildlife sightings, particularly desert bighorn sheep, are frequently mentioned in reviews. Visitors to BLM dispersed sites near Valley of Fire appreciate the affordability and accessibility. "Perfect dispersed camping spot outside Valley of Fire State Park and close to Lake Mead," noted one reviewer about Sand Mine Road. Wind can be challenging in certain areas, particularly in canyon settings like Virgin River Gorge, where one camper reported, "At about 3 am the wind became too much and the tent was almost flying out from under our bodies."

    Snowbird Mesa

    Easy Overnight

    Fantastic spot for overnight on the way to Az. Lots of space to spread out and privacy. Valley of fire is a beautiful way to get around Vegas.

    Hidden Springs Rv Resort

    Wholesome, gorgeous with RV sites, tiny homes and suites

    Loved our stay with Hidden Springs RV Resort in Ivins, UT. My parents drive an RV so we like to try to find places that accommodate them but also allow us to visit in the same campus but without a rig. We stayed in a suite and a tiny home over the course of our stay. Both were very nice but the tiny home was extra magical for my 7 year old daughter. We loved the pool, hot tub, fire pit, and all the thoughtful details that made life a little bit easier. The suite and the tiny home were both well appointed and had everything you could need. It was also great that we could get pizza delivered. Convenient to Snow Canyon State Park. Also, I was traveling with just my daughter and I felt very safe, this is a family-friendly, family-focused RV park. Their showers and laundry room are very nice. It's an elevated, luxurious experience in many ways. If we are ever back in Ivins, we will stay here again. Thank you!

    BLM Navajo Rd Dispersed

    Hidden Gem!

    My wife and I arrived to the St. George area late night (past midnight), looking for a place to stop, with plans to hit up the Green Valley mountain biking trails the next morning. We saw there was BLM land nearby, so decided to check it out. You head out of town through a quiet neighborhood on the southwest side of town via Navajo Dr, which becomes Apex Mine Rd as the pavement ends. The road takes you right past the New Bearclaw Poppy Navajo trailhead (quite a mouthful!), but then you have to keep going about 3 miles before you hit BLM land, which is clearly posted as you cross into it. 

    We found a nice flat spot maybe another half-mile in, and woke up to a stunning panoramic vista with not a soul in site. It was a Thursday morning, so maybe not surprising. I believe there are a lot of ATV trails in this area, so might be different on weekend.

    Atlatl Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park

    Amazing

    The campsites were really nice, a bit close to each other but it was fine.

    The facilities had hot showers which was really amazing.

    Overall decent site that I’d recommend.

    Dispersed Camping North of Logandale

    Okay spot for a night, sandy road in, not for big rigs

    Okay spot. Missed two turns on way in. When you see the metal fence post/5 foot stake at the split, go right. Very sandy in several spots coming out. I was glad I had 4 wheel drive as the All Terrain tires I had were definitely slipping, digging for a bite. There were two deep rut sections where a high clearance vehicle is ideal. Camping spot is adjacent to the dirt road coming in. No fire ring. No one else has come out this way, until near midnight. I expect on the weekend to see off roaders out here. Att 5G 1-2 bars. Views are of mounds of rock and sand. You wouldn't stay here for the Views from the campsite. I can hear, every few minutes, a loud semi truck from the interstate. There was someone shooting out here as I could hear them. Worth it as a one night stop over if you're traveling in the area and need a place to sleep. You can see the glow of lights from Las Vegas, to the south west. I will note that at 11:25pm, a UTV came through, shined their lights into my truck, left, then came back and did it again. I went out to see what their deal was and they said, "just checking to see if you're okay." At 12:49am, I heard a sonic boom. I assume from an aircraft out of Nellis AFB.

    Sand Mine Road #110 Dispersed Camping

    Great views, clean, can be noisy

    2nd visit, great location with views of the Moapa Valley and convenient to Valley of Fire SP and Mormon Mesa. Amazing views and even better stargazing here

    While there are always a lot of bigger rigs near the road, there are plenty of sites here and we did not had to look far for a site.

    Only downside can be some extra noise from the road, and the mine across the road (I think it's a mine) but it's intermittent and can be ignored. Noise is almost non-existent at night.

What campers like

Desert solitude: Gold Butte National Monument provides remote camping with minimal crowds. "Stayed 3 nights further in the monument with the place mostly to ourself—one other camper one night and some OHVers and scenic drivers throughout the day," writes one visitor who appreciated the privacy.

If you want a first come site, you have to scan a q code at the entrance... except there is only 1 bar of t-mobile cell service and it's almost impossible to complete the transaction," explains one camper at Virgin River Gorge Recreation Area.

Hookup placement: Mesquite Trails RV Resort offers thoughtful site design. "The pull throughs are long, room enough for slides on both sides, and have 2 hookups per site.... So no matter where you park, you can reach one of the set ups," explains a reviewer describing the practical layout.
