Best Campgrounds near Amargosa Valley, NV

Seemed like a perfect spot just outside of Death Valley. It is coyote country and wild donkey country too lol, so be careful at night. Easy to find spots, recommend a 4x4. Probably not impossible with a car, but be smart. Great for stars too

I arrived early around 5 pm and the lot was almost empty but filled up as the night took over still very quiet, some mule deer in the area were having dirt baths

As you get farther into the canyon, it got bumper and I got stuck once but once you got in, it was beautiful as you go farther you’ll see water and sun. Sometimes you can go down there with a bathing suit if it’s hot enough and you can swim in those little ponds it is beautiful and those little ponds. 

Friendly good staff. Laundry and bathroom are clean. Lots of good green space for tents. RV sites are adequate with good water and power. Decent restaurant in town.

I am giving it low rating because the manager is a liar. She said my cat will be allowed outside but on the day of signing the lease and moving in, she wrote down on the lease that the cat is not permitted outside of the RV. Of course, I refused to move in. She waisted my time and money. There are few spaces that are shaded and these are taken, the rest are treeless. The spaces are small. No swimming pool. I was told the Wifi is sketchy. The neighborhood is also sketchy.

Super clean toilet! Has full hookups and also a petrol station nearby which is quite convenient. The laundromat is only for customers and it only accepts quarters (cheap). Check in time is from 12pm-8pm, we reached at 8 sharp straight from death valley, the staff was kind enough to guide us to our campsite and brief us although it was near the end of his shift. Would come back to stay another time and explore more if we have the chance again!! 10/10 recommend

This is a private RV park open only to Escapees members. Now that they’ve merged with Harvest Hosts, that membership will get you in as well. I stayed in the Boondocking section so this review will be about that. They have 18 FCFS sites with no hookups or amenities. Members get their first night free and additional nights are seven dollars. Or you can pay seven dollars like I did on your first night to access the sewer dump and water. It’s essentially just a gravel parking lot up against a fence. You do have a picnic table. Neighbors are very close. It was a great option for me coming off of a week of true Boondocking. Nice hot shower, laundry, dumped my tanks and on my way.

Beatty, NV was about 20 degrees cooler than Death Valley. If you want to stay out of the valley while visiting this is a great place to do so.

Full hook ups, pull throughs, and easy to get to. Space Station RV was friendly and helpful. Despite being right next to the road it was fairly quiet. Showers and bathrooms show their age a bit, but the showers are free.

We would stay here again.

The park had everything we needed for our over night stay. Love the town and seeing the burros wander around freely

Rough road to access, but accessible with 2wd. Plenty of flat spots. A decent amount of trash laying around. Close to town.

So, this park uses two names it appears.  Shoshone RV Park and Shoshone Village Campground.  It has 35 RV sites, some with 30 and 50 Amp service, along with water and sewer, 7 tent sites, and 2 group sites for tents.  There was a bustle of activity in the park when we arrived, as a tree service was doing a major pruning job on all of the cedar trees.  Although we chose a tucked away site, further away from the road when we booked online, we were reassigned a more 'cozy' site near the road because the tree guys were trimming the trees on the site we had chosen.  A bit of a disappointment, but what are you going to do.  

I think I signed about 6 pages of receipts and affidavits that I understood all of the rules for the park which included:  "No nude bathing or topless".  while using their warm springs swimming pool.  We didn't use the pool, so I can't comment further on that amenity.

We did use the laundry room.  It has 2 washers and 2 dryers.  It looked like it had not been swept in a while.

They give you a key when you arrive that opens all of the park's facilities.  

There is a great pizza cafe and brewer just a few miles south in Tecopa that I can recommend.  There is also a small convenience store/gift store in Shoshone Village that sells gas and fuel.  The price for a gallon of #2 Diesel was $6.09.9.  The store also had a couple of boxes of DEF on the shelf.  We didn't try the sole cafe in Shoshone, the Crossbar.

I might camp here again, but probably not for more than 1 or 2 nights.

Got a little muddy but overall decent some road noise pond has a couple ducks that followed us around little rockhounding

Good overnight spot, close to the highway 95 so a bit of traffic noise. Friendly ducks look for a handout, burros and locals drink & fish here.

Basic desert disbursed camping. Many acres to camp on with very few neighbors or visitors. Exceptional privacy.

The access road is very bumpy. Washboard almost all the way.

The coordinates ended at a t-way. It was not clear where to go or how to get there. Turning left, the off loading was smooth abd accessible but not places to pull off to camp.

One area sat further back from the road, and it looked like there were long-term campers. The road was rough to get to the area and not accessible. There was very little cleared land visible.

This place has all the amenities one could ever need. The bath house was literally the cleanest I have ever seen. The laundry room was just as clean. The spaces are pretty close together, but everyone we met, Staff included, were super friendly and chatty. The pool and hot tub were fantastic and well maintained, there was plenty of activity areas (corn hole, shuffle board etc) and a coy pond with GIANT fish.

Only stayed for two nights for laundry and showers and a break from boondocking…lots of permanent and semi-permanent residents, many with off road vehicles (mostly side by sides) as there appeared to be an off road area and big event going on right near the RV park.

I don’t believe that they have an age limit on RV’s, but the staff at the gate will check your rig to make sure it’s not a hooptie. They cringed a bit at our old Toyota Motorhome, but after looking at it and seeing that it had been restored completely on the inside (we haven’t painted the exterior yet) and had no leaks, they let us stay. Would definitely stay here again.
