Accessibility Description (ABA/ADA)
The Red Rock Campground has three fully accessible campsites. At these sites, the parking spots have a concrete surface, as they do at most other sites at the facility. In addition, there are concrete pathways leading to the restrooms, which are all accessible.
Water spigots at a height appropriate for users of wheelchairs and other mobility devices are located throughout the park, and all campsites have picnic tables that can accommodate wheelchair users. In addition, service dogs are allowed without restrictions.
Notes:
- The surface leading to the campground's "walk-to" sites consists of dirt and gravel; it is hard-packed and fairly level, but flash floods can erode the area, presenting challenges to visitors with mobility impairments.
- The "walk-to" sites have picnic tables and fire grills but be aware that they were not designed with accessibility guidelines in mind. Also, parking for these sites is at a dirt-covered parking lot about 200 feet away.
- Although the Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center, 2 miles from the campground, is largely wheelchair accessible, in the back part of the center the surface consists of gravel, making access potentially more challenging for people with mobility impairments.
"As a person with autism, I find Las Vegas to be an overwhelming sensory experience. When it gets to be too much, I go to the Red Rock National Conservation Area for some peace and quiet. And when the NCA and campground get a little too crowded, then I head into the La Madre Mountain Wilderness, which is one of my favorite places for a calm, quiet multi-sensory escape." -Red Rock visitor
