Best RV Parks & Resorts near Shoshone, CA

This campground is right in Death Valley and has low prices but limited facilities as you would expect in the National Parks. There are 136 sites all with picnic tables and fire rings. There are flush toilets, water and an RV dump station on site. 9 back in RV sites have hookups and there are 9 pull through sites with hookups. There is a visitor center and small store within 300' of the campground. There is a gas station a short drive down the highway. There is very little shade. Be sure to have an awning of shade cloth with poles as it gets warm.

My site 055 shares a paved pad with 054. This would be great if you are camping with someone in another RV.

Get up early for sunrise at Zabriskie Point.

Whether you want to stay a night, week or A month this place has it all. Full hook ups, no tent camping, some pull through sites others are back in. Handicap spots available near the restrooms. This park also has Restrooms, showers and laundry available. They have a hotel and a bar/ restaurant. Pool is available for everyone staying and dogs are allowed as long on leashes. They offer water Dump station available Sewage hook ups A few gazebos around the park so you can enjoy a sandwich at a table. You are Literally in the center of the city. They do have some rules and guidelines I would read and check out their website because they are very particular with the type of rvs and travel trailers they allowed so read the guidelines before you book. Lush trees surrounding nicely paved roads. Overall a nice place to come to.

Stayed here for a night to do laundry, shower, etc.  It's your basic RV park in terms of layout and close neighbors, but we were so impressed with how friendly everyone is!  It might be because it's sort of a co-op, and long term residents are part owners.  Overnighters are welcome though.

We paid $27.25 total with our Passport America discount, so roughly double that without the discount.

Showers were very clean, facilities looked like they'd been recently remodeled.

Laundry was nice and cheap and dryers worked well.  $1/wash and $1.50/dry.

Lots of activities and community events going on here.  Residents seem really happy to be here and were very welcoming even to short timers like us.  There's even a host who stopped by our RV to welcome us and gave us a ton of information and literature about things to do in town and the surrounding area.

The pool is beautiful, and there's a really lovely small walking garden with benches and ponds with huge koi, shaded areas to sit and hang out.

Recycling is available here (but they don't take glass).  

There's a small clean gravel dog run as well.

Propane is also for sale here for $3.75/gal for non members, RV tanks filled on Tuesdays only.  There's also a cylinder exchange.

They have a dump and potable water fill available for non-guests for $10.

We spent a month at this lovely campground. The amenities are awesome with a small lake in the middle of the park. Our dog loved walking around the lake and spending time in the dog run. There's a cafe in the casino with daily specials. The convenience store and gas station on site are a plus as well. The sites are all FHU concrete pads with gravel parking. Very level sites that give you more yard than most campgrounds. The wifi is slow so bring a hotspot of your own for speed.. Seeing a hot air balloon pass over the campground on a sunny morning is a sight to behold. So much to do in a town only 40 miles from Las Vegas. Will stay here again if in the area.

Came here for four days without reservations for Furnace Creek.  This campground is a no frills flat parking lot with bathrooms and dish washing stations, trash dumpsters, and a decent dump and water filling station.  If you are self contained or even in a tent, it is doable.  However, no trees, lots of neighbors with generators.  I give it three stars for:  with the Senior Access Pass, $7.  The dump station/water filling was clean and easy, and the location cannot be beat (except by the Furnace Creek CG which I would always prefer to stay in, if we make reservations way in advance).  Texas Springs up the road is a good more traditional camping facility, no reservations, but smaller rigs and tents are the norm there.  You could fit our 35 foot fifth wheel up there in some of the sites if you are lucky.  Cell service, as in most National Parks is iffy at best, for a fee you can get Wifi across the road at the Ranch/Oasis.  There is golfing and restaurants and a small grocery store.  Location of this campground is right across from the Furnace Creek Visitors Center.  Easy walking, biking and hanging out.

This campground was quiet and clean and centrally located in the park. No hookups, but there is a dump station with potable water available near the entrance.

The spaces are REALLY close together but when we were there the park was mostly empty…maybe a dozen other campers in the whole park. Tent camping only on the lower loop…upper loop had MANY large, pull through spaces. Our camper is small, so the space felt big though. Picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Self serve pay stations, discount for Access Pass holders, I will definitely stay here again if I come through Death Valley again.

Texas Springs upper loop is for RV's and Vans, but no generators allowed. So it's lovely and quiet at night. If you want to run your generator you need to go to Sunset Campground closer to the road. Texas Springs lower loop is for tents only (though some tent campers moved up to the upper loop).

We moved to Texas Springs upper loop from Furnace Creek. It is first come / first served with checkout at noon. So if you find a site without a tag before noon, you can claim it. But if you are there before noon and there is a tag in place for that day (and there are no "place holders" like chairs or items on the picnic table) the ranger will not let you claim it until noon. We were there over a holiday weekend (Presidents day on Monday) we got in on Thursday morning and it was wide open with many choices, by the time we left on Sunday there were people asking if they could call "dibs" on your site when you left. I would suggest coming in Sunday - Thursday on a regular week.   

Most sites in the middle and to the right as you come in are pull through, but the left row is all back in. If you get a choice, pick a site at the top or bottom of a row for better views. Our neighbors were all very relaxed and friendly.  There is NO shade. It was a bit too windy to put up our pop-up, but we just stayed in the shade of our tiny trailer.  

    
The bathrooms were clean and pleasant, the water troughs for dishwashing etc were next to the bathrooms, and there were water spigots in each row as well. There are no showers and grey water on the ground is forbidden, so no solar or outside showers. If you want a shower you can get a day pool pass and access to the showers at Furnace Creek Ranch ($14) or Stovepipe Wells ($5).  

My cel provider is T-Mobile and I had full bars, but it was 3G! I heard neighbors on Verizon complain about being on roaming. We had no signal on our Visible phone. 
We saw a lot of coyotes - keep your little dogs close!
