World-renowned for its 40,000 acres of bright red Aztec sandstone outcrops nestled in gray and tan limestone, Valley of Fire State Park contains ancient, petrified trees and petroglyphs dating back more than 2,000 years. A Visitor Center provides exhibits on the geology, ecology, prehistory and history of the park and nearby region. The park also hosts an Annual Atlatl Competition in which participants test their skills with replicas of ancient spears. Open year round, the park has numerous campsites equipped with shaded tables, grills and water, as well as many intriguing trails to tempt hikers.
Valley of Fire Camping: There are two campgrounds with a combined total of 72 units. Campsites are equipped with shaded tables, grills, water and restrooms. A dump station and showers are available. All campsites are first-come, first-served. A camping limit of 14 days in a 30-day period is enforced.
RV Camping: RV sites with power and water hookups are available.
Group Area: There are three group areas, each accommodating up to 45 people, though parking is limited. These sites are available for overnight camping and picnicking by reservation only. Call the park for reservations.
Located six miles from Lake Mead and 55 miles northeast of Las Vegas via Interstate 15 and on exit 75.
Clean well maintained RV/Tent campground in a 'cul-de-sac' of red graggy redstone rock towering up in all directions. Absolutely beautiful.
This is probably the most beautiful place I have ever camped. Easy access to all parts of the park from here. Good wildlife viewing during the day and great stargazing at night. The restrooms and showers were surprisingly nice/clean. Recommend reserving online before you go.
I’m disabled, so we stayed in the ADA spot. It is nice and open, lots of space. And fully concreted all the way around and to the fire pit, and perfectly level for our trailer. Great set up for a wheelchair. Table was wheelchair accessible as well.
