Bureau of Land Management · Nevada
Visit the red- and cream-colored sandstone cliffs and experience the natural wonders of the Mohave Desert just 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip. Red Rock National Conservation Area features world-class climbing, miles of hiking trails, a 13-mile scenic loop drive, visitor center, multiple day-use areas and campground. Popular activities include picnicking, hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, biking, and touring along the 13-mile scenic drive.
Reservations for Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area are made through Recreation.gov. In peak season, the most popular campgrounds are typically claimed within minutes of each release — which is why the park reads as "sold out" for most of the year.
Sold out is not final, though. People book far ahead and plans change, so cancellations return to the official calendar throughout the season — with no announcement, at any hour. A cancelled site is bookable by whoever sees it first.
