Jean Dry Lake provides hundreds of miles of trails to the casual and expert Off-highway vehicle enthusiast alike. At the center of the area is the area's namesake, Jean Dry Lake. Although the name implies that the lakebed is dry, it has the potential of flooding and holding water long after a rainfall. After substantial precipitation events, the lakebed can hold several inches to several feet of water. Travel on the lakebed after a precipitation events is not recommended. Outside of the dry lakebed, motorized vehicle use is limited to existing roads and trails.ADA Access: No accessibility

A lot of trash, people shooting guns day and night

The space was nice and there’s several places to park but it’s filled with trash. Also, there’s people constantly shooting guns in the BLM so I didn’t feel super safe and couldn’t let my dog off the leash. However, it’s pretty close to Vegas and the surrounding area. Also literally behind the seven magic mountains!

Unique Experience

Arrived easily following directions on GPS. A storm was moving in as we approached lake bed, decided to find a spot along the road instead. Plenty of room for our truck camper towing a Jeep. Great dark sky, Vegas glows from the north.

Sitea wide open space off the road

campground in the middle of the desert

There is lots of space. I only campt for one night and pulled off the freeway. It was quite a bit of drive on the Blvd to get there. And there was also a lot of traffic on that road. Lots of moths in the night and no shade in the day.

No facilities, but very convenient, as it is close to Vegas.

Had cell service.
