Best Cabin Camping near Amargosa Valley, NV

This 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!

Gravel roads throughout the park, nice large parking spaces for your rigs, they have a cool community garden which is cool because you can go pick some fresh veggies, a nice enclosed pool area kind a looks like an outside garden with clear windows metal framing but there’s a pool inside with plenty of activities going on such as workouts volleyball etc., they have a community clubhouse, each spot comeWith a slab of cement for Anything you may need it for, and a table full hook ups, shaded areas, and they offer a lot of activities a really good place nice people, and overall a good RV park Also they do have a few cabin rentals if you’d like to stay in that rather than in your RV

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.

This 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.

My 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
