Older park that has seen better days. That said the staff were the sweetest. Super quiet place. All the campers were friendly and had a smile. Hookups were easy to get to. Best location to stay to go to the valley of fire state park from the east entrance.

We stayed here for a week while visiting Valley of Fire State Park, which is a 25-minute drive from the campground. Since the campground is located in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, you will need to pass a fee station to get there: the fee station between the town of Overton and the campground wasn't operational during our stay in March, but they were collecting fees / checking national park passes at the Las Vegas entrance. The campground entrance will be on your left as you drive in, but you'll need to drive past it to reach the office building. The office building, which also contains a convenience store, has a large parking lot (no issues turning around even the largest rigs) and a gas station (they don't sell diesel; you'll need to go to Overton for that). The campground is a loop of back-in sites with a row of back-to-back back-in sites in the middle. The roads are asphalt and the site surfaces are gravel. Each site has a picnic table and has thick wooden posts on the left and right sides of the site. Fortunately most sites are fairly wide so the posts don't present a problem when backing in. A number of sites have adjacent trees but not the kind that provide much shade or block satellite signal (at least not in March). The outer sites in the loop are more desirable because you usually have some kind of view of the surrounding mountains. On the flipside, you want to avoid staying in sites 44 and 45 as they are adjacent to the trash and recycling dumpsters. We stayed in site 4, which was a blind-side back in with a nice view of the mountains to the south through our back window. We had to do some leveling front-to-back and side-to-side, but nothing dramatic. There is a bathhouse building in the inner row of sites secured by keycode. The men's bathroom was clean and had several shower stalls, including a handicap-accessible one. There is also a small coin-operated laundry room in the corner with 3 washers and 3 dryers. A small communal firepit area sits next to site 47; no one used it while we were there. Behind the campground on the north end, accessible by a gravel road between sites, is an open dirt and gravel area which is home to the recreation center building (also secured by keycode), a small playground set, a horseshoe pit, and two basketball courts on opposite ends of the building. This open area is probably the best place for walking dogs; there aren't a lot of places around the campground that aren't rocky. In terms of cell service, the best bandwidth I saw on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna showed 9 Mbps down and 2.5 up. I was able to work remotely and stream most of the time, but occasionally the signal would stutter or drop out for a minute, and uploading photos took forever. Contrary to what I read in other reviews, the AT&T signal was mostly non-existent on both our 5G smartphones, not even with our WeBoost cell signal booster. The campground does offer WiFi through TengoInternet, and at check-in campground staff gave us two coupon codes to pay for the service (each good for single device for a week) and instructions for connecting, but I didn't go through the bother of creating an account to test the bandwidth. The remote location and the lack of overhead lighting in the campground does make for good stargazing when the moon isn't out. We'd stay here again for a quick stop.

Cute place out of cities ear shot!! Back in only spots in lowered lot. Upper lot is dry camping and tenting. Reasonable pricing, too. Daily, weekly and monthly prices available. Fire pits at designated spots in camp. Near boat launch, store and fuel for boats. Boat launch is concrete but super steep. I saw a sigh that said you need 4 wheel drive at times for launching a boat.

A very special place! Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Reservation process over the phone is very easy. Washrooms are clean. Our spot looked over the reservoir at Lake Mead. Full hook up and cable available. Staff met us, even though we arrived later in the day, to escort us to our space. Nice touch. The view was spectacular!

Beautiful place. We didn't stay but had to use their RV facilities. We're here for 10 days so we'll be back to the Lake soon.

Great drive through the park.

Four stars for good spacing. Self-checkin was slightly confusing but not rocket science. We would go back.

Came here in the middle of August, 2021. Hotter than blazes but only here for 2 nights. On a camping trip for an extended time. Only 1 other trailer in RV park. Many many spots open. We were given must have been the worst spot in the EMPTY campground. Spot 25. First off, its 110°, and the pedestal circuit breaker pops for no reason. Then we enter the trailer and smell sewer gas. Have to unhook the sewer hose due to nauseating smell. Look down the sewer.... its full. Then leave for a ride thru Valley of Fire SP, come home and guess what.... once again, circuit breaker popped. 99° inside trailer. No elec was left on besides refridge. Seriously..... dont come here.

We really enjoyed this campground. It is so peaceful! It is quite always out there but worth the drive. Full hookups, and the spaces were spaced apart well. The campground was not full in October. We checked in at the office/store and the guy there was super nice. The guy that rode around on the golf cart in the campground was also very nice. The campsites have full hookups. We have not been able to get our TV to work in our camper so we can not attest to the cable or antenna reception. The bathrooms are fine but the showers could use an upgrade. It is locker room style so there is nowhere to change in private. It’s pretty dingy so be sure to bring your shower shoes. Water was super hot - which is nice - but unable to change the temp. There is also a laundry room that seems well appointed.
