"Beautiful sunsets near waterline. Tent and/or vehicle camping only in this lower area. RV camping up on hill side. Fishing good. Hiking good. Lots of birds and some coyotes. Watch your small pets!"

"The pin took us off-road to a private BLM spot that went to a dead end in which you can get out of your vehicles and hike .8 miles down to the river."

"We came in December and even with the cold weather we really enjoyed the MTB trails directly behind the RV park. Short walk to shopping. The park was very clean and the people super nice."
"Prefect midway stop between Vegas and Lake Mead. The park is extremely clean and has everything you need. The front office staff is very friendly and helpful."
"It’s very isolated and secluded and it surrounded by trees. If you can make it you can camp and have A whole lake to yourself. Huge fish everywhere and cliffs to jump from."
"All sites has prefect views of the surrounding mountains. All sites that are situated on the outer rim of the campground, be weary. Most have a good steep decline not to far away from the pavement."
"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’."
TravelerAfter a bumpy drive down a chopped up paved road you will go past a few houses that may or may not be lived in, some of them give off a bit of a suspicious feeling if you’re not from around the area.
There is a spot you can walk down to the water and go for a nice swim with a little beach, great when you’ve got it to yourself. We didn’t stay because of the sketchy feelings being international travelers. Due to the nearby buildings with sketchy people and remote location. Close by valley of fire park which is a plus!
TravelerHave been coming here for a couple years now, usually spend two weeks camping. It used to never have much visitors but the traffic has picked up a bit. They added garbage cans because there was so much litter it was getting gross and even the garbage cans get overly filled. I usually pick up garbage around the area to keep it nice.
Most the time I’m alone here with the lake, in a giant fishbowl surrounded by mountains.
GuideI stayed the max time on and off. 30 days. This is where it all started. In that time I have toned my camping skills.
Bathrooms where good to do your morning necessaries. Views of the lake, roadrunners, quails and a bird I don't know.
I wish more people "packed out what they packed in" but what ever.
GuideOk avec RV de 30 Ft. Piste d’accès assez longue
TravelerWe love it here! Some sites have a gazebo. Handicapped sites are available, all sites have a picnic table, firepit, accessible well water, clean restrooms and concrete pads to park rv's.
ScoutThe stay here was great, I went during the week so it was not busy. I had a great time but it isn’t called the Valley of Fire for no reason it was boiling even at night. However the bathrooms were clean and I felt safe.
RangerWe stayed here back in November 2021 and really enjoyed this campground. It was clean and well kept. The sites were paved and level. No electric at site but a dump station and fresh water was available and use of generators was allowed
ScoutFriendly staff, pool, gym, wifi, and clean washrooms for a reasonable price
TravelerVery basic. Spots to pull over, make fire, sleep and leave. Dirt rd. Easy to maneuver.
