Valley of Fire State Park Group Campground is open all year with three different sites.  Each group site can accommodate 45 people.  Reservations are required for the group sites.  Call the park directly to reserve group spots at tel:702-397-2088.  Ice is not available in the park.  Firewood is available at the Visitors Center.  The best time to visit the park is during the fall or spring.  Summer temperatures are usually over 100 degrees.  All Camp spots have shaded picnic tables for those extremely hot summer days.  Group camp spots are for tenting only, no RV's.  The group sites are located at the Beehives viewing area. 

If all group camp spots are taken the next closest group camping location is on BLM land outside the West and East park entrances.  The BLM camping is all primitive.  Please see the bottom of this page for additional nearby campgrounds. 

The parks beauty comes from the red Aztec sandstone rocks throughout the park.  The park is located in a desert area near the Overton Arm of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.  

There is no cellular service in most of the park.  A pay phone is available at the visitors center.  

Local Recreation:

Hiking and climbing are by far the most popular activities in the park.  There are loads of great trails in the park area including Rainbow Vista Trail, Prospect Trail, and Balancing Rock Trail to name a few.  

For a driving tour try White Dome Road.  There are loads of sights to see right from the highway. 

Photography is popular in the park with thousands of photo opportunities.  You almost can't take a bad picture.  See the Campbase "Photos" tab for a few examples.  

Petrified wood is viewable just off the main park road near the campgrounds.  There are several fenced in areas with petrified wood. Please see the Campbase "Photos" tab for a few pictures.
