We tried to get a spot in Valley of Fire after spending a week at Lake Mead. Well, that was not gonna happen, the parks there are not on reservation and extremely popular, so we decided to camp just outside the park and go back in later. We first stopped at Snowbird Mesa and Poverty Flats but man, was it crowded there! We backtracked a... more

Signage says 4x4 advised, but most rigs should be able to get in here. Don't go too far in though-- the last good turn around opportunity is just over a mile in before the road begins to drop down into the wash. Couple miles to town, Valley of Fire, and Lake Mead NRA. Good hiking down the wash. 15 day limit. 3 bars VZ 4G LTE unboosted.

This is a delightful location, with an expansive view down into the Moapa Valley and the mountains beyond, and a clear view of the confluence of the Virgin and Muddy Rivers. It's close to Valley of Fire State Park, the Lake Mead NRA north entrance, St. Thomas ghost town and the excellent Lost City Museum. It's about a mile from Snowbir... more

For just an overnight I'd maybe go to Snowbird Mesa because it's just easier. This location is generally breezy with frequent high winds. Most sites are within the first 1/2 mile though the road is okay a mile deep. Go too far and reversing course might be difficult for RVs. Overton is very limited, but the grocery store is decent. The... more

Sand Mine Road is on the other side of a hill from popular Snowbird Mesa. Because the sites are smaller and the road a bit rougher, it doesn’t have nearly the crowding of Snowbird Mesa and has an equally beautiful view. The area is close to Route 169 which makes for a quick and easy trip into Overton for supplies, though it does mea... more

We camped here due to the amazing location just minutes outside of Valley of Fire State Park. There is plenty of room with lots of spots (some with fire rings) along this road. We chose a spot on the edge of a bluff/cliff which had great views. There were other RVers around which made us feel safe, but far enough away that we had priva... more

We live in Vegas so this is on our favorite weekend getaway spots because we can get there in 90 minutes from our house, it's free, the cell service is strong, and we're never close to another camper. Last fall (October 2016) we even held a rally here for our Las Vegas Airstream Club - there was plenty of room for 7 trailers at one of ... more

This Boondocking area holds a very special place in my heart. During a much needed getaway time back in April 2010 I boonddocked there overnight in my Nissan Sentra car right next to the bluff. Since then, I have revisited the area several times. And, most recently I drove there in my jeep with two of my granddaughters and we did a li... more

The proximity to one of the most beautiful and unique state parks in the country, Valley of Fire, make this a great spot. Overton sucks, there is nothing there really except a small, expensive grocery, a McDonalds and a laundromat that is closed, but there is a fantastic amount of free camping. Skip past the overly crowded Snowbird Me... more

Hoped to stay at Valley of Fire but the park's campgrounds were full and they directed us this way. Easy access off the highway - well graded dirt road. Quickly found a large site and parked because we didn't know what was further up the road. Our site had some trash strewn about and some road noise, but it was pretty far from any n... more
