In today's episode we venture off to explore a park in a new state for us - Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada! We stay at Arch Rock Campground and tour the area, provide a review of our campsite as well as visit many of the other sites to give you an idea of what camping is like in this natural wonder.

Valley of Fire is unlike any other location one could possibly visit on planet Earth. With its Mars-like rock structures and breathtaking striped sandstone, there is a lot to explore! Camping at Valley of Fire provides a chance to be truly enveloped by the landscape and sleep up close to history. Two campgrounds offer this opportunity for visitors - Arch Rock Campground and Atlatl Rock Campground.

Arch Rock Campground is the more primitive campground of the two - offering 29 sites butted up against deep red sandstone providing plenty of privacy. Each site has its own potable water source, tent pad, a stand-up barbeque grill in addition to a fire ring, and covered picnic tables. The campground features dry camping so it has vault toilets rather than flushing toilets and no showers. However, the nearby Atlatl Rock Campground is more developed and offers amenities for use by campers at Arch Rock. Each site can accommodate tents, trailers, campers, or RVs. Arch Rock Campground does not, however, provide RV hookups but there is a dump station.

Both campgrounds are on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation system available. Securing a campsite can be difficult during peak seasons which are in the spring and fall when temperatures are not as extreme. It is advised to come early in the morning and in the middle of the week, if possible, to have the best chance of getting into the campgrounds.

Entering Valley of Fire State Park costs $10. If camping at either Arch Rock Campground or Atlatl Rock Campground, this $10 can be applied to the cost of camping which is $20/night.

The nearest place to purchase items such as groceries, ice, and firewood is in the nearby town of Overton at Lin's Groceries - 16.9 miles from Arch Rock Campground.
