1. Valley of Fire Dispersed
Overton, Nevada19 Reviews•55 Photos•346 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.

Be the first to review!Mount Charleston, Nevada•6 Photos•5 SavesOverview
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.

Peaceful and pretty
We got in late, but had no problem finding it and setting up. We just stayed for one night, but it was great. It’s right by Sawmill Trail head if you are going there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wheeler Pass Rd Dispersed Camp
Random dispersed location
If wheeler pass camp is flooded, try coming to this hidden spot. Looks like other people already began camping here since there was multiple fire pit put together. This area gives you a great view and has some flat grounds if you plan on sleeping in a tent. Car camping is also a very viable option. I wouldn’t take an RV up here though. Anything bigger than a truck might be a problem.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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

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.

Good spot for the night
While a bit close to Hwy 15 it works for a rest stop or overnight. Nothing here. No amenities. We didn’t venture further down the dirt road. Have 2 bars Verizon. Found a flat spot to park. Enough spaces for a couple of rigs but other spots might not be as flat.

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

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.

The campground was easy to find with well-spaced sites. If you have a few in your group, some sites are large enough to accommodate. There are many fire pits already assembled.
