Valley of Fire State Park Parks and Outdoors Travel Tips

By Deke Castleman
  • Nevada's oldest state park (established in 1935) encompasses 46,000 acres and is located only 55 miles from Las Vegas. It has two campgrounds, prosaically named A and B. The combined 51 sites are first-come first-served and are equipped with sheltered picnic tables, grills, and water.
  • Campground A is the bigger of the two and is open year-round. It can host RVs up to 30 feet, with three walk-in sites in back. It has flush toilets and showers.
  • Campground B is closed for two to three months in the summer. More compact and scenic, the back sites, under fiery red cliffs, are the most spectacular in Nevada. It has vault toilets.
  • Ten miles southeast of the park entrance is Echo Bay Campground, with upper and lower loops—the lower campground has more shade. The 155 sites welcome tents and RVs up to 35 feet. Water, toilets, tables, and grills are provided.
