    Dispersed-jean/roach Dry Lakes

    Sure bet on saving money

    Didn't have to drive as far aspin. Saw RV and others on left after signs. Few turnouts then none. Big dump trucks coming out. One flashed brights at me idk why. After seeing no more turnouts for half mile I turned around and parked a little north from others. Bit of highway noise and truck traffic on road. Maybe gravel mine. Lake definitely had water so maybe not good hence flashing brights by the truck. Saves time, but would like more quiet far the away from highway. Will explore next time

    Shaded private camping

    Was so nice to get out of Vegas and have trees around! We enjoyed a relatively cool day and just enjoyed the nature.

    Keep in mind that as other have mentioned, many people leave trash, ride ATVs, play music, etc.

    You can not have fires, only propane, fuel stoves with a shut off.

    T-Mobile has no signal here.

    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.

    People ruin it

    Fair warning, my boyfriend and I camped on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend so this may have skewed my rating.  

    The campsite was amazing!  Private, very big for just the two of us, and a good combination of sun and shade.  The site was very easy to get to in a 4WD truck even on the narrow two way road, smaller cars may have some issues.  The views were limited but beautiful!  It was hot during the day and wonderfully chilly at night.  Bring lots of water, sunscreen, and good food that you can eat cold or heat up on a propane stove - no fires allowed! 

    The bugs were BAD all day, I swore off DEET but that trip I would've bathed in it.  I was very excited for a quiet get away and quiet I did not get because of a group that rode their ATV up and down Champion road incessantly.  Due to this, the dust was absolutely horrible and unfortunately the birds stayed away which is my favorite part of camping :(.  The campsite was LITTERED with used pieces of toilet paper, baby wipes, glass, plastic - all the trash you can think of.  We spent about a hour trying to pick up as much trash as possible, please do the same.  We decided to call it a night when the sun set however people were blasting music in a neighboring campsite... why do people play loud music in nature? No clue.   

    So to summarize, my boyfriend and I had a WONDERFUL trip however inconsiderate people really know how to test a camper's patience.

    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.

    A Little Oasis in the Desert

    There’s a lake at the end of the sketchy road that makes it all worth while especially in the heat. Water is clear and plenty of space to park if you’re just there to visit. May feel too crammed if you have a camper though. I thoroughly enjoyed staying here for 2 nights.

    Great view from the top of the hill.

    Short drive to furthest sites but viewable from the main road. Road out to sites is a little rough but easily passible. On top of the hill with excellent views of the valley below but exposed to the wind. Some rough roads around for biking/walking. Maybe 8 or so sites available.

    Lovell Canyon Dispersed Camping (Spring Mountain)

    Several campsites demarcated by vegetation, very pleasant and lots of possibilities

    We arrived before sunset, full of small spots along the road, which allows everyone to have their own space surrounded by vegetation. We have a van, it is easy to leave the main concrete road to enter the pitches, some are bumpier than others. The sites I saw were clean with leftover campfire pits. I recommend this spot, it is specific to Death Valley and located 30 minutes from Red Rock or 1 hour from Las Vegas. For the night of May 2, no problem with the wind, very good weather conditions

    Safety issues here

    None of the other reviews mention that there's a rehab center compound located here with lots of in and out traffic at all hours. We spoke with a local ranger and that's how we learned about it because it's hidden. We then looked it up online and read scary reviews about it. Others need to be aware and make their own decisions. We also found questionable items in our site here.

    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

    Amazing

    This was an amazing campsite. The drive there was a bit choppy especially towards the end, but the view of the lake was worth it. There were wild donkeys that were friendly and a beautiful view of the lake. The weather was very nice too.

    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.

    Lake Mead NRA - Stewart’s Point Dispersed Camping

    Dispersed Camping Right on Lake Mead

    Road in is a little bumpy but there were rigs from a massive 5th wheel pulled by an HDT, class a, down to car campers and everything in between. Numerous places to camp spread out over a very large area. Pit toilets. Free water and dump station 12 miles away at Echo Cove. Pretty peacefull and decent night sky except for the lights of Las Vegas coming over the mountains. Lots of services in Overton (grocery, hardware, laundry, gas station, couple of restaurants, post office). There are burros, cows, and could hear coyotes in the distance but never saw one

    Easy to find and relax after seeing the valley of fire

    Easy to find spot right off the main road. If you go through the valley of fire watch for mountain goats. Pretty open spots, fire rings made of rocks, and if you like to walk around looking at rocks there are some neat ones lol Side note: Valley of fire does not take some park passes fyi, at the time they said no America the beautiful passes. I had to go through there to get here but it was beautiful.

    Old Highway 93 Dispersed

    Secluded & great views

    Apple Maps wouldn’t get me here. Use google maps instead.

    This is just a little pull off from Old Highway 93. Had to level my truck because there isn’t any flat ground and there unfortunately is a fair amount of trash.

    That being said the views are amazing and it’s extremely secluded if that’s your jam!

    Decent Verizon and T-Mobile coverage. Made it up here in 2wd but there are a few spots where clearance will be your friend.
