Summary

There is a $18 per vehicle fee per night. Campgrounds feature pit toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and access for RVs (no hookups). Potable water is not reliably available—bring your own. Set in a striking desert landscape of sand dunes and sagebrush, it's popular for OHV riding, hiking, and stargazing. The atmosphere is open, arid, and social, especially on weekends. Open year-round, but spring and fall offer the most comfortable temps. Nearby attractions include Sand Mountain and Black Mountain trails.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
