Overton Wildlife Management Area

We basically agree with Drivin' & Vibin's review above and it is still accurate except for cell coverage.

This is a decent spot but there is some noise from the concrete plant as well as road traffic. There are also train tracks, but we saw no trains over the course of three days. Additionally, the area to the east is a bird-hunting area and we did hear some gunfire from hunters early in the morning.

The cell service in this area improved since Drivin' & Vibin's review and we got great connectivity here on AT&T and Verizon and ok connectivity with T-Mobile.

March 17th - 21st (4 nights/5 days)
8 day stay limit

This was our second time staying at The Overton Wildlife Management Area. It's a convenient and FREE stop over between Vegas and St. George, Utah. Plus, it's super close to Valley of Fire.

Verizon LTE was decent - 27 down, 3 up

The site was surprisingly quiet on weekends, except for the trucks full of hunting dogs that drive by occasionally. On the weekdays things get a little louder with work trucks and trains running all hours across the road. But there was nothing that was loud enough to disrupt working or Netflix.

Each site has an awning, grill, and fire ring. The area overall offers one dumpster but there is no water or dump. The site privacy definitely varies depending on which one you get - they are all divided by trees and bushes but some of them don't plants to go back far enough into the site.

Review of the camping area only. Trashy rundown Nevada Wildlife mgmt campground. Only 7 spots but half are closed due to covid restrictions. Free camping with 8 day limit. Sites are beat down, and trashy. No toilets, water, trash cans, or hookups. Cell service seems good. My site did not have a metal fire ring. Biggest drawback is the Large active silica plant across road with lights, alarms, backup beeping all nite long. CG is adjacent to hwy so noisy but is close to Overton, which is all this place is useful for.

Even though free camping is fantastic, the noise was too much. The spot was nice. It has a BBQ pit, picnic table and over hang but there is so much more free camping in the area that the noise wasn’t worth the convenience.

We moved to this location to avoid a few days of highlands from the other near by public land. this also put us close to town (Overton) so we took advantage of getting some laundry done, groceries stocked up, and visited the very nearby Lost City Museum. There are two friendly wild roosters that seem to have taken over camp sites near us.

Due to Covid, every other campsite is closed. So space is limited.
My cell service was hit or miss.
The noise didn't both us and was only durning the week. The weekends were quiet.
This area has a covered picnic table with grill. The sites have a place to have a fire also.
The sites are very big in size that even the biggest of rigs should have no problem.

We were in site1 and felt it was the best for our 37’ class a and tow. Many overgrown bushes and lots of hunters. Could not determine how far they were from us but we heard shots very often each morning. There’s trucks going in and out across the street. Never heard a train even though we saw tracks. There is a dumpster for trash. Rabbits and chickens and turkeys are around. This is a dry camping area. Starlink worked well here. About five minutes from town, gas, groceries, all your needs. We did stay at the blm land after and honestly I wished we had just stayed at the blm land from the beginning. Much more level, not so buggy and much more space.
