We arrived at Valley of Fire State Park on Easter Saturday to find, unsurprisingly, that the campground there was full. We'd driven past this place on the way through and saw a number of RVs parked up, so decided to pay our state park fees, fill up with water, and come back to park up. It was our first experience of free camping, and we actually found it very straight forward. We pulled in off the main road - there is space either side of the highway. It's basically a big, fairly flat, gravel area, with road on one side and good views on all others. Rigs were naturally spaced out, and we soon saw that there are a number of stone fire rings, which kind of gives you a good idea as to a rough demarcation of camping spots. We found a spot easily, with lots of space around, and though it looked pretty slopey, we parked up and only needed one inch levelling blocks and we were done. We camped in a 26' travel trailer. There are obviously no hook ups, but we used the dump station the next day at the state park, as we were going through there anyway. Location wise, this is beautiful. It's really easy to access from the highway, though very quiet and peaceful, with great views. It's in a good location for the state park and about 60 miles from Las Vegas. We would camp here again.
