Atlatl Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park

We’ve been here a few times now, and we always loved it. It’s very quiet in general, the spots are big, the neighbors are not directly on top of you, bathrooms are clean, check in process is very easy. There is wifi in the middle of the campground, we haven’t used it because we have starlink. Cell service is not good but it’s also not completely absent, we have Verizon. The weather in November & January was a lot cooler than expected. We had very cold winds in December and in January it rained. Every time we stayed here we saw Bighorn Sheep passing by our campground which was really neat.

Arch rock campground is further up the road from Atlanta campground. It used to be a first come first serve campground, but just this month changed to a reservation system. If a site is not reserved and it is after 3pm, you can pay the iron ranger $10 for the site. Arch rock sites are more scenic than the other campground, but also more primitive with just vault toilet and water spigots distributed throughout the camp. No electricity. Desert big horn sheep do frequent the area. It can be very hot temperature. Sites are only modestly separated with little screening. Though the sites further up the loop are more dispersed. Each site has sun shade, table, fire ring, and 12’x12’ tent pads. No T-Mobile.

Absolutely beautiful. Sites are amazing and well cared for. A little Expensive but expected due to amount of campers in area. In among the rock and cliffs, close but still nice. Bighorn herd in among the sites. Water fire rings, grills, close bathrooms. Would give a 10 star if easier to get a site. Come Nevada, enlarge your camp grounds, People love this life!  The rest of the park has great hikes and unbelievable scenic drives.
