Furnace Creek Campground — Death Valley National Park
Reviewed Nov. 16, 2021

Great Campground for Exploring Death Valley

Perfect base camp for exploring Death Valley National Park. It's located a quarter mile from the Furnace Creek Visitor Center where you can check in to pay the park fee and ask the rangers any questions. They always post the current weather and encourage visitors to stay safe in the heat. It's about 20 minutes from main attractions in the park including the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Zabriskie Point and Badwater Basin Salt Flats.

Campground Pros: Nice bathrooms and large sinks for dishes (also with potable water), Sizable camping spots, great location

Campground Cons: Very little shade, plan to bring a canopy if you are tent camping, no showers

Overall a great campground - just make sure you're visiting when the weather is decent. Super hot temps can ruin the experience pretty quick - and fill your tank before you drive into the park!
