This is where most people come to stay when they are in the park.  Can be corwded and if you are a tent camper you need to pick a site far from the generators of the massive number sof RVs.  There are good tent sites with space and protection.  But there are also tent sites out in the open with no cover or shade.  Choose wisely. The wind can be as much ot=f a factor as the sun.

I am one who like solice so a crwod is not for me.

Positives are that you are near the Furnace Creek Resort so you have access to a store, a restaurant and gas.

Also it is a short walk to the visitor center which allows you acces to the most up to date info on what is open in the park.  I always stay a day or two here to cover the sites on the southern end of the valley.

When there is super bloom this is wheer you want to be  - easier access to teh bloom sites.
