We camped here in November/December, the weather was perfect! AWESOME area to explore. Great photo opportunities. Atlatl campground is so peaceful and clean, nestled in amongst the incredibly massive rock formations. We hiked all over the area and saw several Big Horn sheep...SO COOL

My only compliant is that the campsites are a bit too close to each other, there is no privacy. Other than that, I highly recommend this campground for your outdoor activities.

Campground situated inside Valley of Fire State Park in a beautiful setting among the red rocks. Minimal shade of course, it’s in the desert, but there are shade structures over the picnic tables at each site as well as electric, water, charcoal grill and fire ring. Nice clean showers and flush toilets in several convenient places, but the showers could use some hooks to keep things dry. There are...

Nice clean showers and flush toilets in several convenient places, but the showers could use some hooks to keep things dry. There are some walk in tent sites without utilities that have nice privacy. We actually preferred the Arch Rock campground (in the same park) even though there were no hookups or showers, the sites were more private and the setting even more beautiful. Overall Atlatl is a beautiful campground if you need the hookups, with some sites nicer than others, but in a great setting within a spectacular park. Dump stations are available for both campgrounds in the park.

If you’re tent camping, sites 1–5 are the best choices. I stayed at campsite 4, which was conveniently located across from the bathrooms and showers. The facilities were clean and well-maintained. Each site also has its own water spigot, which was very handy.

Beautiful area. Spot 21 and 22 are tucked back in a corner but you have to walk in all your supplies - which is worth it for the privacy.

I heard there were showers but I never went and saw those. There were MOUNTAINS GOATS 🐐🐐 everywhere. We saw the most around 2 p.m. There were newborns the end of March. A leash is required for dogs 🐶🐕. Beautiful , desert camping 🏕️🥾. Many places to hike nearby. Lots of climbing for children. It was $10 for a day to enter the area. Sometimes local libraries will have a special to get in for free but I didn't take advantage of that.
