Fifteen primitive lakeside campsites are available along Upper Pahranagat Lake. Sites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. They are free of charge, though a donation box is provided at the registration kiosk if you choose to make a contribution. The refuge may reserve sites for youth groups participating in a service project as part of their stay. If you'd like to organize a service project, contact the Visitor Services Specialist at 775-725-3417 ext. 101.
Several of the sites can accommodate multiple tents, camping trailers, or RVs. No electrical, water or waste treatment facilities are available. Vault toilets (no flush) are provided. Visitors may stay for a maximum of fourteen days within a 31 day period. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am. Generators are allowed, but if the generator is noisy it should be shut down overnight to respect other campers.
Fires are allowed only in provided grills and fire pits. Please do not construct rock fire rings.
This place is nice! There are a few free camping sites and a nice trail. No swimming or wading is allowed. There are pit toilets, but no water. Pack it in, and pack it out. There is a large dumpster on your way out.
Passed by while driving through and had to immediately stop and check out this beautiful place. The water was calm, the sky blue with a few scattered clouds. I grabbed my camera and captured tjlhe moment. I also noticed the abundance of birds here. The reduge is teeming with life. I understand there are trails here, but I was unable to get any hiking in. Next time!
