We all love roasting marshmallows over a campfire—and you can often still do that while cabin camping in Amargosa Valley. It's easy to find cabins in Amargosa Valley with The Dyrt. Each cabin rental offers quick access to one or more of Amargosa Valley's most popular destinations.
Furnace Creek Campground is the only NPS campground in the park that is reservable. All other NPS campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Advance reservations are highly recommended for Furnace Creek Campground during the reservation window (October 15 - April 15). First-come, first-served sites (FF) at Furnace Creek Campground are rare and fill quickly on weekends, around holidays, and in days preceding and just after the reservation season. PLEASE NOTE: The actual availability of any first-come, first served-sites (FF) IS NOT reflected on the Recreation.gov website in real time. When arriving without reservations, we recommend tent campers pack camp chairs and a propane stove for cooking as not all campsites in other park campgrounds offer picnic tables and fire rings. Death Valley has a total of 9 National Park Service campgrounds to choose from in this beautiful land of extremes. Six are open year-round. Three others are closed during summer months. Please visit our official park website to assist with trip planning and to check out all of our camping options: https://www.nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/camping.htm
There are over 3.4 million acres of Death Valley to explore. The popular main attractions are accessible by paved roads and more remote areas of the park will require high clearance, 4wd. Please visit our website for helpful tips when planning your trip: www.nps.gov/deva
Despite its morbid name, a great diversity of life survives in Death Valley! In this below-sea-level basin, steady drought and record summer heat make Death Valley a land of extremes. Yet, each extreme has a striking contrast. Towering peaks are frosted with winter snow. Rare rainstorms bring vast fields of wildflowers. Lush oases harbor tiny fish and refuge for wildlife and humans. Death Valley has sunk below sea level through geologic processes over time. It lies within the Mojave Desert and is the hottest, driest and lowest location in North America. Despite its extreme climate, the park boasts a diversity of ecosystems, including colorful badlands, snow-covered peaks, desolate sand dunes, rugged canyons and flat, dry basins called playas. Furnace Creek Campground is located on the valley floor. The terrain is fairly open with sparse vegetation. Some campsites do have trees that provide shade, but most are unshaded. The facility offers a wide mountan views to the east and west, which glow with hues of orange, red and yellow during sunrise and sunset.

Explorers of all ages can enjoy educational programs and exhibits at the Visitor Center, just a short walk from the campground. Birders may have luck spotting local and migratory birds around the campground and along Airport Road, especially in the cooler months. Visitors can bike, walk their dog, or run along a one-mile bike path to an interpretive trail from the campground to the Harmony Borax Works, an abandoned borax refinery from the late 1800s. The campground is also within walking distance of the private resort, Furnace Creek Oasis and Ranch.

It's a huge campground, a whole section was closed off when we were there. It's worth driving around to find the best vacant spot, as there are a few trees giving much needed shade. There are flush toilets, and running water. It's nice and close to the visitor centre, and to zabriskie point. It was quiet enough in Sept on a weekday, but I wouldn't fancy going there when it's busy.
Guide
Good customer service, large spaces. It's a little older and a little behind on their maintenance, but we enjoyed our stay.
TravelerThis is just an extraordinary place, Death Valley. Takes you out of yourself and your sense of human history completely.
The motels and campsites were always subpar. They act, to this day, like only hardened stoic geologists would want to visit. This campsite is actually better than the so called “motels’ available. It’s not a great place, but BRING ALL your creature comforts and you’ll be thrilled to be in the middle of the all the hiking and road trip thrills.
I am writing this in fall of 2024. That means you should book Xmas 2025. Or else, really stay somewhere else entirely and expect a drive.
And yes, when you have the winter blues in January, this is just an incredible visit.

ScoutThanks for the information!
GuideI love that they have separate parts of the campground for RVs and tents so you don’t have to hear generators if you’re tent camping. Our site had some trees that we pitched the tent under for shade. Bathrooms were clean with running water and a dishwashing area too.
ScoutI wasn't able to stay here as it was full, but I did want to let others know of a good option nearby.
There are two other campgrounds pretty close. One is called Sunset and is right across the road. It did not look very interesting, but you could walk from your site to the Death Valley Ranch, which has a saloon, restaurant and nice little oasis like setting for those looking for some shade and to grab things.
I did stay at the Texas Springs Campground, which is just up the hill, about a 3 minute drive away. Was a bit more interesting with the setting amongst the hills, etc. with a bit of a view. It is a first-come-first-served, but seemed to have plenty of spots mid-day, mid-week, beginning of April, if the NPS is full. Also, great proximity to many sites in the National Park. Hope that helps!
TravelerWe stayed in March and it was perfect 👌 very busy so get reservations in advance!
Guide
Very well maintained park. The bathrooms and laundry room were very clean. Showers were hot and clean. I spent one night in the park and it was very quiet
GuideOverall, I enjoyed my stay at this campground. Sites have fire rings, picnic tables and level asphalt drives. Rest rooms are not modern but they are always clean. I only gave 4 stars because there are no showers.
GuideLoved this campground. Trees behind the site provided lots of shade and places for the kids to play. Clean restrooms. Quiet.
ScoutThey take reservations. Only spot near here with trees Close to main attractions (Zabriskie Point, Dante's View, Bad Water Basin, Golden canyon)
Legend
It’s been said before, but I’ll say it again–“all of the campgrounds in the valley are glorified parking lots, some more obviously than others.” Fiddler’s Campground is one of the more lot-like, but there is shade with a row of trees on the south side of the camping lot. The campsite is closer to the National Park Visitor’s Center than even the Park’s campground, Furnace Creek. While it's a very utilitarian campground, it's a good central location to explore the park from Golden Canyon to Zabriski Point to the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes to Badwater Basin.
It is run by the Oasis Ranch at Death Valley Resort, so you have access to all of the services provided there including the lovely golf course, pool, showers and reliable wifi. During our two visits to DVNP, we’ve spent at least one night here just to grab a shower, swim, and wifi update. While these sites are usually booked months in advance, you can find an occasional open night during the mid-week.
The campground bathrooms have clean flush toilets and hand washing sinks, and a dishwashing sink with good tasting potable water just outside of the bathrooms. The bathrooms by the campsites were pretty clean, but the pool was very clean as was the shower/ locker rooms.
The campsites are stacked pretty tightly together but there’s plenty of room for big rigs. Unlike Texas Springs campground up the hill, Fiddler’s Campground allows gas generators. There’s no need with all of the sunshine, an appropriately sized solar panel system will provide you with all the power you need. We’ve run for over a decade on solar panels and saves a ton of money on campgrounds.
The resort also offers a few restaurants, gift shops and a small grocery store with enough options to feed yourself in case you didn’t bring much food. We highly recommend the milkshakes at the ice cream shop, they are expensive but worth the drive to the valley alone!
Mobile service was pretty spotty, we had Verizon which seemed to have a good signal in the morning until more people woke up and then everything slowed down. Service throughout the park was pretty spotty too.
GuideFurnace creek was a great campground to be central to a ton of different places in Death Valley. It was a busy campground with lots of other campers. Great sunset views!
GuideThanks to a SUPER accommodating NPS fella, we got site 111 for a couple of nights during the Dark Sky Festival. It's dry camping, which suited us for the short stay. We were stoked to be next to a little road that led to a nice birding spot and the little airport. Super charming...
Until the generators kicked on! I was bewildered, because I hadn't realized that there's a private campground right across that little road. If you're after a little peace and quiet, book on the opposite side of the campground.
Proximity to the main visitor center is a huge plus, as are the two nearby dump stations. It's not in a particularly beautiful part of the park, which is huge. You'll need a car to explore. We biked to a couple of trailheads, but the park's scale really does force you into car mode.
ScoutWe are here for Halloween and the have a decorate your camper contest, it is a lot of fun.
LegendStayed 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.

A VERY NICE RESORT
GuideThis campground location was ideal as it was right next to the visitor center. Like most NP camp sites, they are pretty close to one another. Most sites had no or little shade and you’re lucky if you get one with a little bit of brush to hide from the beating sun heat. The picnic tables are metal, which doesn’t make sense to me given everything gets really hot in the desert. Fire pit was also provided, but we didn’t use. There are few bathroom locations within the park, they were cleaned daily and very basic, but with running water. You have to dump your trash all the way near the front of the campground. RVs with generators made a lot of noise and were not separate from tent sites. The stars at night are amazing!
Traveler
The campsites are located next to the vines and includes a composting toilet& picnic table. You are also welcome to plug in to a standard outlet for charging and use their hose for drinking water and filling tanks. T-Mobile, Verizon & AT&T work well and WiFi are available In addition to your site, they also offer guests an outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower, amazing night skies, and are pet friendly. The camp is 2,890 feet over Death Valley, offering lower temperatures at night, 15/20 degrees less than Furnace creek
GuideCheck in is actually at the Oasis at Death Valley, and for $34 a night they will let you stay in a parking lot down the road, and use restroom next to the golf course. Staff instructed us to walk 10 minutes across the golf course, where we could use the showers at the pool. There is no on-site laundry, and there is no communal fire pit. No picnic tables. There IS WiFi, but it doesn't reach to the campground; you need to walk to the golf course to connect. Save yourself the money and just camp at one of the other park campsites.
RangerSpaces were roomy, pull through had plenty of room for our tow vehicle, trailer and another vehicle. Good sized area with picnic table and enough space for a large pop up and tent. Full hookups were nice, be prepared for high temps even in the spring. It was over 100 in April but the overnight temps were very comfortable.
GuideA larger campground, with all parking on gravel. Sites are a little closer than I expected, but overall a great little park. Reception was friendly and courteous, campground occupants seem friendly. Lots of stuff to do! Here for the music festival.
LegendMy brother and I stayed here in January 2022 and loved it! It was surprisingly chilly but the tent only loop was nice and peaceful with only a few other campers there. The restrooms (no showers) were clean and there’s a dish washing sink for camper to clean their dishes with. Camping was cheap (I can’t remember the exact amount but it wasn’t a lot). It was first come first serve though.
Each campsite has a fire pit and a picnic table. Sites are pretty level. There isn’t that much privacy which is to be expected since it is the desert. Either way, very nice campsite! I’d definitely come back
ScoutCame here for 2 night to break in our new trailer. Full hook-ups, level spot, plenty of space between sites. Customer service was excellent, friendly, accommodating for our after hours check-in. Security came by to make sure we were set for the night and had all the passwords needed. Lake was pretty, kids loved the geese. Excellent full amenities RV park just outside of Las Vegas, would stay again.
GuideThis is a nice place to start your tour of Death Valley. We stayed in site 85 with our travel trailer which was close to the toilets and wash station. The site was roomy and level. There isn't a lot of vegetation, so you always have other campers in your line of sight. Unless you are a tent camper - those sites have nice trees around them. The site had a picnic table and fire ring, and was pretty easy to back into. You can see beautiful mountains all around, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. This campground is walking distance to the Furnace creek visitors center, the golf course and the 19th hole bar and grill. On T-Mobile I had 3-5 bars of 3G (so basic text and email), and I heard my neighbors complain of being on Verizon roaming.
It's important to note that the campsite does not have showers, and does not allow water on the ground at all - so you can't use your outside or solar shower. If you want a shower you need to buy a day pool pass at the Furnace Creek Ranch nearby ($14) or Stovepipe Wells ($5).
I think that the best option if you will be in the area for a while is to book a spot here for one or two days, then move to Texas Springs nearby or the other first come / first served campsites, or boondock areas after you have done some exploring.
RangerClean campground with lots of amenities. Spaces were very small and there was very little greenery. No campfires were allowed so there wasn’t much to do in the evening.
