Convenient and cheap
Not the nicest campground but not bad for $14. Some people were using tents but the ground is just rocks so wouldn't recommend it. It had 4 toilet blocks and water/ washing up station. It was quite empty when we stayed but suited are very close if full.
It’s perfect for a dirt lot
Nothing to really right home about. But the rest of the park is what makes this. The generator free lot is filled with a bunch of fun people. The spots are just barely off level.

Functional and Cheap
Great to pull up late at night and park for the night. Toilets were clean. Generators didn't annoy us but I can imagine if it was busy it would be annoying. Well located in furnace creek. Would recommend heading up to Texas Springs if given the option - only slightly more expensive, much nicer setting and no generators allowed.
