Experience the magic of Arch Rock Campground at Valley of Fire State Park, where vibrant red rock formations and serene, starlit nights create a mesmerizing escape. Perfect for adventurers seeking unforgettable desert beauty and tranquility.
Arch Rock Campground, nestled within the stunning Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, offers an extraordinary camping experience amidst breathtaking natural beauty. The campground is named after the nearby Arch Rock, a magnificent natural arch formed by the erosion of red sandstone over millennia. This unique geological feature, along with the park's vibrant red rock formations, provides a dramatic backdrop for campers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The campground itself is well-equipped to cater to both tent and RV campers. It features 29 campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring, providing a comfortable and convenient setup for visitors. While there are no hookups for RVs, the campground offers clean restrooms, potable water, and a dump station. The sites are spacious and spread out, ensuring a sense of privacy and tranquility amidst the rugged desert landscape.
One of the standout features of Arch Rock Campground is its proximity to numerous hiking trails and scenic viewpoints. Visitors can explore the nearby Elephant Rock, Atlatl Rock, and Mouse's Tank, each offering unique insights into the park's rich natural and cultural history. The campground's location also makes it an ideal spot for stargazing, with clear desert skies providing a stunning view of the night sky, free from light pollution. Whether you're looking to hike, photograph, or simply relax under the stars, Arch Rock Campground offers an unforgettable desert experience.

Beautiful place! You've inspired us to get back into camping! We really appreciate the tour of the campsites. We're near Kingman, and drove up to Valley of Fire yesterday, but Arch Rock campground was closed & blocked off. Thank you again for the tour😊

Curious! I wonder why it was blocked off. Temperatures, maybe?? Well, I hope you get a chance to camp there at some point. It's super worth it and unlike any other campground we've stayed at. 👍

@@CactusAtlas yes, I'm assuming it was the heat, but the Atlatl was open. Possibly bc Arch Rock doesn't have water? We reserved Arch Rock site 28 for 2 nites in late October - so excited! Thank you again for the tour of the campground.

Love the channel, Glenn! I camped at Arch Rock site #22 about 2 weeks after your stay. I had my eye on that site for a while and was lucky enough to book 2 nights. Within 5 minutes of pulling into camp, we found a baby rattle snake, which I believe may have been a sidewinder, not more than 2ft away from our water spigot! I left it alone, and 5 minutes later, it was gone!

@CactusAtlas 20 күн бұрын

😲😲😲 What a score! Aside from your little visitor, was #22 everything is appears to be?

@Coffee409 20 күн бұрын

Yes, it really is/was an amazing little gem. Although you are correct that there is an ever so slight slant to the tent pad. Almost unnoticeable, but I kept telling myself I felt it at night. Next time, I'll sleep with my head facing the opposite direction. Oh, and I'd be lying if I said that balancing rock formation didn't make me a little nervous 😬

Great video of a place I love. I stop there often when traveling from Buckeye to visit my daughter’s family in the SLC area. I was just there on May 25th. Taking a right out of the Visitor Center and heading up the steep grade towards Mouse’s Tank I had to stop at the steepest portion of that incline as there were 2 big horns on the road…….there ended up being a total of 14 I could count from my car…by far the most I’ve ever seen in one area. Like you, the Valley of Fire, is where I’ve seen the most of these amazing animals.

Hey there. Not sure when you were there but funny enough I drove over to the Valley of Fire from visiting Las Vegas on a record setting hot day in Vegas to cool off last Friday lol. I was sad a couple of the good trails were closed up for maintenance I guess. I love those cabins actually and was there on Friday pretty cool work they did building those. I did make it too one mile walk overlook despite the heat warnings lol. You ever go to the petrified wood pieces they have blocked off in a couple place. I mean it’s nice they are protected but makes you appreciate the petrified forest here in Arizona. In any case quite beautiful and as always appreciate your posts. Thank u

@CactusAtlas 20 күн бұрын

Glenn visited in early May so before the heat made it out there. 😅 We have a number of older videos from a previous trip out there showing the different areas, including the petrified wood. And yes, it definitely makes one realize what a gem we have here in this state in comparison.

It has mesh areas that allow for air flow. So good for ventilations but not so good for keeping sand/dirt out on very windy days.
