    Overview

    Foxtail Group Picnic Area is located in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, just 47 miles from downtown Las Vegas. Visitors enjoy hiking, mountain biking, scenic driving, and winter snowplay in this forested desert oasis.

    Recreation

    Hiking and mountain biking are popular activities on the 1.3-mile Sawmill Trail and the 6.2-mile Bristlecone Trail. Both begin just a short drive from Foxtail. When there is at least 12 inches of snow on the ground, Foxtail becomes a winter playground for sledding and tubing.

    Facilities

    This picnic area is a day-use site only. During the summer, seven group sites are available, each with picnic and serving tables, grills and campfire circles. The two largest have pavilions and fireplaces. Flush toilets and drinking water are provided.____ During the winter, fees are per vehicle for snowplay. There is a selfpay station. Firerings will be usable. Restrooms will be provided.

    Natural Features

    The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is a beautiful island in the desert, brimming with breathtaking scenery and diverse flora and fauna. The Bristlecone pine, the world's oldest organism, and the rare Mount Charleston blue butterfly are both found within the Spring Mountains. More than 100 springs create the namesake for the mountain range, making it the perfect place to escape the heat of the city. The picnic area is set among a forest of towering ponderosa pine which provides limited shade. The area affords views of the surrounding Spring Mountains.

    Nearby Attractions

    More than 60 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails crisscross the area; two trails allow mountain biking. Rock climbing, picnicking and scenic driving are popular activities.

    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!

    Nice to escape heat

    Need a capable vehicle to get here. Toilets were clean and there was paper but don't count on it. There are about a half dozen sites mostly geared towards tent camping. Kind of dispersed.

    Great Views

    Parking Coordinates: (36.3636285, -115.6685757)

    Relatively easy dirt road. This spot was located right before the road closure. Was able to fit the truck and a ground tent with amazing views overlooking the valley below. Visited June 22nd it was 110 in the city but up here at 7700 feet it was a nice 85-90 during the day and a cool 65-70 at night. Not a lot of tree shade at this spot but if you create your own it helps during the day.

    Further up the mountain

    We went further up near intersection of 157 and 158. Lots of open spots and almost no one around. Height of your rig could limit site selection. Even with high roof Sprinter we had some issues with low branches. Lots of shade. No real views, but lots of privacy. Some trash. Not horrible, but a good reminder to pick up after yourself so we can keep these public lands open.

    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.

    Pretty views, but pretty sketchy area and so much trash

    The options were nice and the views were gorgeous but there seems to be a lot of long term living people around in their cars as well as a decently large homeless population around. I didn’t feel very safe so I only stayed one night. Along with that, there was so much litter and trash.

    Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area - Red Rock Campground

    Hard to believe how close to Las Vegas this campground is!

    This campground is open September through June and all sites are dry camping. There is a separate area for RVs, trailers, and vans but many camper vans (including ours) were in the tent section. The camper pads in this area are dirt/gravel and not all of them are level but we made it work. Each site has a fire ring, BBQ grill, and picnic table. Some of the sites (but not all) have a covered picnic table and the table is located on a cement pad. 

    There are more than sufficient vault toilets sprinkled throughout the campground and all the ones we used were clean. No showers. No dump station.

    The hosts were great – they are from Minnesota, and it is their third year at this campground. They made daily rounds and were very friendly. 

    This campground is located just outside the park and therefore not subject to the park fees. You will need a timed entry for the 13-mile scenic drive from October through May (but if you enter before 8 am, you will not need it). We had only a fleeting one bar of Verizon cell service. Make sure you make reservations as the campground was full on a Monday night in mid-November.

    Beautiful free dispersed camping

    It was beautiful and easy to get to, just recommend something a lil bigger than a sedan, it can make it, just kind of sketchy. Lots and lots of flies, keep that in mind, didn’t get a single bite but heard buzzing around our heads and near our food most of the time.

    A little less privacy just because the open sites are pretty close to one another, just across the roads from each other, but enough privacy to feel comfortable, and it’s dispersed so remember there’s no facilities. Also states you can stay for 14 days.
