Fossil Falls Campgrounds Recreation Site reviews
5Great for dark sky astronomy. Really quiet. Except for the crickets. Bring hiking boots and go over to where the fossil river starts. You can walk down into it and see how amazing it is. The rocks look rough but feel soft to the touch. It was hot 100degrees, but once the sun goes down and cools pretty quickly. I normally go to Red Rock but this was worth the extra time.
Small, primitive BLM camping…beautiful scenery! Picnic table & fire ring at each site…vaulted toilets & the cutest hand operated water pump…inexpensive, with an “honest John” box! The short hike to the falls is definitely worth it! Our dogs, Pennie & Joe, enjoyed their stay & give it tail wags & paws up!
Beautiful spot. Right off HWY 395. Bring enough food and water for extended stays. Ancient volcanic lava flows. Dry falls. Unique formations. Look for the ancient Indian art on the lava rocks in the canyon. Watch out for the fire ants!
Incredible for star gazing.
Has one wheelchair accessible camp spot with direct access to the bathroom.
Spots fill up fast on the weekends, even when it's icy out.
Very interesting spot but rough. Camp roads, signage are not maintained however most sites have new picnic tables and older fire rings. The cinder rock helps the road remain firm when wet. Fee $6 for over night dry camping, no water source found. RVs ok but need some clearance. We made it through with overall length of 66 ft.at very slow pace.
