Description

Bureau of Land Management

Camping 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.

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

Will Return!

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.

Good I15 stop

Arrived after dark and it was easy to find. Lots of spots with only a few other campers. It was very windy all night long and in the 80s. Good place for a place to stay off of highway 15 north of Las Vagas. Could see the stars at night but too much light from the city to do nighttime star photography. Was very queit and cleen. Road to camp is dirt and in decent condition. Had a 2 bars of tmoble signal in camp. Also at the I15 exit there is a Moble gas station that had reasonable prices to fill up at. It had both gas and diesel.

Great location, beautiful views

Dirt road for entry is a little bumpy, but not too bad. Traveling in a 40 ft tag axle pusher. Plenty of space to camp along the road. Use caution during/after rainfall.

Great place to stay overnight

The access is through an unpaved road, quite rough, but still quite easy. Although it definitely is subject to flooding, watch out for heavy rain. There is OK cell signal, plenty of space to park any car/RV, when we were here on the weekend there were about 4 or 5 other campers. There are some fire rings if you're interested.

Quiet and free!

Very convenient, only a couple miles off interstate 15. Quiet throughout the night. Only one other group camping there on a Tuesday night. Gas station, restaurant, fireworks, liquor store combo located right off 15 for all your needs. Fell asleep to the Las Vegas glow on one side and the desert stars on the other.

Spaced but not entirely secluded

Google maps did a great job getting us to the area. Not far from I-15. Several sites along the 2/10 dirt road. Plenty of space for RVs down to tents. Most sites looked level and had rock fire pits. Several sites were occupied so the secret is out. Beautiful sunrise.

This place is about 6 miles off I-15 on paved road. When you turn off the paved road it is only half a mile to spacious level sites. No amenities. 5G Verizon. Very secluded.
