Paved road. Clean. Quiet. Stayed here for a couple nights. Watch out for motocross. Highly recommend this spot

Tons of open land with a bunch of different pullouts to park along the road. Arrived around 10pm. Quiet. Barely any other cars driving down the paved road.

take Las Vegas Blvd till you see the sign, about 1 mile b4 you get to 7 magic mountains. it's another paved road with dirt offshoots on both sides. I went about a mile bk till I found a pretty level "pull thru", at a paved "T" section. I noticed lots of trash along the way, both close to the road n a bit in. I picked up 3 bags of bottles/ cans at my spot, n piled up left over fireworks boxes/tubes (ran out of room). there's a dumpster at magic mountains. 1 bar of Verizon, enough to pull up YouTube adequately. lots of choices out here. saw some other campers as I came in, but no one around me. I'm pulling a 13' TT. addendum- lots of evening n EARLY am target practice. 1 orv showed up at mn slowly driving/ revving on the paved road.

Arrived late midnight, location was empty (Tuesday night going into Wednesday morning) and super easy to get to. parked my honda fit near some bushes and had a peaceful last-minute rest stop before arriving to Las Vegas.

Always plenty of room here for the biggest rig. Will relax and listen to the coyotes for the next week.

Great spot outside of Las Vegas! The lake bed is pretty busy with ATVs and trucks so I wouldn’t recommend staying close to it, but there are plenty of spots around it to choose from. Good enough Verizon reception for work where we stayed! Easy for us to get to with our 2WD Promaster.

Stayed about .5 miles south of coordinates mentioned on a pull-off just off the road. Lots of dirt road pull offs with a lot more seclusion but will require 4x4 and/or high clearance probably. Didnt risk it for a quick night's stay.

Awesome place to camp. Tons of sites along rhe dirt roads.

I camped right next to the dry lake which was cool but woke up to like 20 dirt bikes and ATVs buzzing around my campsite and revving their engines all morning which was really annoying. I won't camp right on the lake next time.

Good Verizon cell service.

Loads of trash at the big lot to the east by the end of the paved road but we were blissfully alone.

Nice paved road to get into the area. Found a quiet, flat spot. We only stayed one night so I cannot comment on day to activities or noise.
Will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful place to stay. No services of course. Watch out driving on the lake bed ....lots of nails from pallet fires. Half bars on gFi.

Hundreds of camp spots. I was able to get off the main parking lot and have some privacy and i am in a Promaster campervan.

Wouldn't recommend staying on a weekend, loud music played by a group having a party all night. Otherwise it would be a nice secluded spot

Wide open and flat area with lots of space, even for big rigs. No shade. Ok Verizon service (2 usable bars). But people come out with their dirt bikes and quads and guns… early. It was quiet at night but annoying in the morning.

Very close to 7 magic mountains if you wanted to be the first people there one morning.
There is an unregulated gun range on the southwestern edge of the area. We heard plenty of shooting till the sun went down. The hill works as a backstop and we didn’t notice any errant rounds wizzing by or anything.

I loved this spot. Was craving some peace and quiet after a few nights in the city and this did not disappoint. There were enough rigs that I felt safe, but we were very, very spread out. Lots of turnouts and dirt roads to explore. Plus, great Verizon coverage! Highly recommend.

We moved around till we found a spot we liked and with great Verizon coverage. Lots of options depending on your rig, we did just fine in a 170 RWD Sprinter.

Was pretty peaceful, the main paved road in and out is definitely used for trucking and we stayed on a Friday night so the dirt bikers and 4 wheelers we're coming in late.

Please pack in and out, SO much trash everywhere!

Isn't to far from Las Vegas. I drove 35 min at night time. Was easy to find in the dark. I'm the only one here. Easy to drive to. Paved road. There is no soft sand I could see, well packed and mostly leveled. Very quiet. The truckers went by maybe 4 times from the factory. Only spent one night.

Very quiet on a Monday night with only one other camper van in sight. We can barely hear the highway. Plenty of spots off the dirt roads. Pretty rough on them so 4x4 or high clearance isn’t a bad idea. We did fine in a Grand Cherokee. Good Verizon service here.

Quiet. Mostly. Lots of off-roaders on the weekend. Dirt bikes and buggies. They’re usually in packs or groups spread out on the flat. The map point that this will take you to is at the upper end of the dry lake bed. On Friday - Sunday DAY expect 5th wheelers, dirt bikes, and buggies. The rest of the week, it’s pretty quiet.

The road to get there IS paved! The best place for cell service is NOT the coordinates of this map point. It’s actually > (35.7800388, -115.2773118) for Verizon users. 3 bars. Data speeds about 40mb down/.8 up. Not stellar for uploading but great for being in the desert.

I spent about 6 days here. Mostly quiet. At night the trucks do roll by on their way to the processing plant at the end of the road. But for the most part, it’s extremely quiet and beautiful.

Public land. Paved road leading back to several pull offs. Suitable for any size rig. There are dirt roads leading off into more remote sites. Those roads are for 4x4 or high clearance vehicle. Only a mile passed the 7 Magical Mountains.
