Camping Visit to Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

See Full Blog Post - www.loveyourrv.com/return-visi...
In this video, I give you a look at the two campgrounds in the Valley of Fire State Park located an hour north-east of Las Vegas, Nevada. I also show dash cam footage of the spectacular signature drive out to White Domes.
I finish up with a slide show of photos I took while hiking in the park.
Valley of Fire SP is an amazing place loaded with gorgeous sandstone formations in a multitude of colors. A perfect spot for those who love photography, camping and hiking or just a beautiful scenic drive.
To see it at it's best I recommended a visit in the late afternoon to sundown when the colored rock really comes alive.

    haha, ya 70-80F is perfect for me, grew up on the west coast with mild summers. Also I don't like the critters that start to appear once the temps rise makes hiking especially with the dog a little more worrisome, she likes to nose into everything. We usually hit the Yuma area in late December and January.

    Yes, we need to be in our home province of BC for at least five months to hang onto our health care benefit, plus the US travel visa is only for 182 days. It can be extended by filling out paperwork and giving them 300 bucks but it's kinda of a pain. Also, we need to summer on the coast as my wife has a love affair with the ocean and boating. :) We have visited Montana and Idaho before, very beautiful indeed but being from BC it's much the same landscapes we are used to seeing. That's why we love the southwest it is so different from where we come from.

    Never had an issue, we usually move north before the bulk of critters come out from hibernation. In 5 seasons coming down here, we have yet to see a snake and only two scorpions.

  • @LoveYourRV

    @LoveYourRV

    8 жыл бұрын

    Some places like this are worth the small fee. Sure most of Nevada is BLM but not many places are as beautiful as Valley of Fire. We love the hiking and scenery there. To save the drive in an out of the park every day, it is more convenient to camp inside the park. Park entrance fee is $10 per day, dry camping is $20 fee included, not a whole lot extra to camp in a beautiful spot. plus it helps keep these parks maintained. We save fuel by not having to drive to and from the park and get free use of the dump, garbage, and fresh water fill. So it's almost a wash. Previously, we were at Poverty Flats free camped, now we are up a Whitney Pockets BLM camping for free. So we do embrace free camping as well. Since Christmas we have paid out $125 for camp fees, usually to be in an especially attractive spot or for convenience. Cheers Ray
