Fossil Falls Campground

$6 sites. Rough road depending on rain washout - I managed to navigate in my low clearance station wagon - scout ahead some sections were fine. Loved this spot. Wanted to stay a few nights but headed out early after almost all campers left and it felt too remote to do solo. Vault toilet and no trash service. Water pump that may have worked I didn’t try it. Sites are very spread out and the cinder cone and volcanic rock around are awesome scenery. Hike to polished rocks of fossil falls. Will definitely come back! Great stop on the way to Death Valley.

Stayed here in my car the night before driving to Death Valley NP. There was only one other group there on a weekend in March, it was very quiet and secluded. Cleaner bathrooms than expected, beautiful stars, but very very windy, enough I wouldn't have been comfortable in a tent. Great cheap spot!

We stopped here on a whim and stayed for about 5 days. It was surprisingly rocky upon entering the park and made pulling our camper through there a bit more of a mission. BUT we found a nice site in the back between two hills that worked for us. The sites are dry sites but are spaced out nicely. It was quite windy while we were there but the temperature was nice and the evening sunsets were great! They did have pit toilets and supposedly had a well but the well pump barely pumped any water at all. The trails weren't bad in the area, there are places nearby for OHV usage. It's only about a 30 minute drive to the town of China Lake which is good for restaurants and groceries amongst other amenities. No dump sites nearby though.
