This campground exceeded our expectations by a bunch. Very popular, but the sites are situated in a way as to make you feel like you are living in a cave. We were in a camper van, got there 3 pm on a Friday and were really lucky to get the last spot.

So much to see in the park itself. Check out the visitors center and Walk of Fire (7 Wonders connects and makes it an almost perfect half day loop.)

We recommend getting there early and on a weekday to get the cool spots up in Arch rock. You can probably park at the petroglyphs and watch for people pulling out. But any site at Valley of Fire is at least “pretty good”. If we could do it over, we would bring a tent and some gear and use the walkout sites at Atlatl. That last one up in the canyon might just be the coolest campsite I have ever seen.
