Summary
It’s entirely dispersed—no established campsites. There are no amenities: no toilets, water, picnic tables, fire rings, or hookups. RVs and tents are allowed, but the dirt roads can be rough, so high-clearance vehicles are recommended. The vibe is peaceful and remote, with scenic desert and lakeside views of Lake Mead. Sunrises and sunsets over the water are stunning. Best in fall through spring—summer can be dangerously hot. Boating, fishing, and nearby hikes like the Historic Railroad Trail add to the appeal.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
