How Much Does it Cost to Go to Valley of Fire?

Valley of Fire is Nevada’s first state park and well worth a visit. We spent several nights camping in the park and several days exploring the park’s fire-red sandstone. Valley of Fire is a breathtakingly beautiful part of the West. Many people visit Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada as a day trip from Las Vegas since it is about 50 miles northeast.

$10.00 per vehicle

Camping

$20.00 per night + $10.00 for sites with utility hook ups. Camping fee includes your entrance fee.
