Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Amargosa Valley, NV

Amargosa Valley RV Park welcomes pets of all sizes alongside the Longstreet Inn Casino & RV Resort, both providing convenient access to Death Valley National Park. Dogs are allowed at every campground in the area with no additional pet fees reported. The basic gravel parking area at Amargosa Valley Rest Area provides a free overnight option for travelers with pets, while the DeathValley Camp offers both tent sites and pet-friendly cabins. Many campers note the Big Dune Recreation Area provides exceptional privacy for pets that need space to roam. Facilities range from basic dispersed camping with no amenities to full-hookup RV sites with picnic tables where pets can relax alongside their owners.

Free dispersed camping options abound for pet owners at Ash Meadows Dispersed Camping and Big Dune Recreation Area, both located on public lands with minimal restrictions for dogs. Big Dune's extensive off-road trails create natural exercise areas for active dogs, though the moon dust terrain can be challenging for pet paws after extended play. The region's extreme desert climate requires careful consideration when camping with pets - daytime temperatures frequently exceed 100°F in summer months, making early morning or evening the only suitable times for dog walks. Water access is limited throughout the area, so carrying ample drinking water for pets is essential. Dogs should be kept on leash near wildlife areas, particularly at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge where endangered pupfish habitats must be protected from curious pets.

    Big Dune Recreation Area

    Great for overnight or if you love OHVs

    We stopped here overnight during our trek south. Super easy access via Valley View Blvd to the east side camp. We arrived at night so we couldn't enjoy any views. There is a small market (Martell Market) 7 minutes south that is open until 10pm and has just about everything you need for food and general supplies. Amargosa Valley 11 miles to the east offers gas and propane. Since we're not huge OHV enthusiasts, we only wanted to stay for a night since you will be in the middle of a bunch of moon dust. Gorgeous views and would overnight here in the future.

    Longstreet Inn Casino & RV Resort

    Very chill RV park behind a casino

    This place is literally in the middle of nowhere- which is awesome! We drove away from the campground at night for some amazing star viewing. The casino food was okay. This place is about forty five minutes away from Death Valley National Park. Campground is nicely maintained. Theoretically there are showers inside the casino but we have yet to actually find them 🤷‍♀️ My dogs had fun barking at the cow, sheep and donkey at the casino “petting zoo” which was really just a few poor animals living sad lives in a tiny fenced in area. The Mountain View is amazing for sunsets and definitely a plus!

    SKP Pair-a-Dice RV Park

    Must Be An Escapees Member

    This is a co-op park owned by Escapees and Escapees members. You must belong to Escapees RV club to use any of their services.

    Escapees members can stay here if you're just passing through even if you aren't part of the co-op, but sites are usually occupied by members in winter months. Full hookup sites are $30/night, boondock sites are $10/night, first night is free, and you can use the dump for free if you stay 7 nights.

    They have nice single unit non-gendered restroom/showers.

    Propane on site is $2.75/gal (so cheap compared to what prices are now), but they only fill on Wednesdays.

    We only stopped in to use their dump, which is $10, and you must be an Escapees Member even just for that.

    Nice staff and nice basic dusty desert RV park. There's a really nice big dog park with lots of agility set ups, and an area set aside to wash your RV. Garbage dumpsters throughout, didn't see any recycling.

    DeathValley Camp

    Excellent campground in the right place to visit Death Valley

    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

    Pahrump RV Park

    Avoid like plague.

    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.

    Texas Springs Campground — Death Valley National Park

    Desert Camping with Access to Amenities Nearby

    All of the campgrounds in the valley are glorified parking lots, some more obviously than others. Texas Springs holds our favorite distinction, “No generators allowed!” This alone makes it worth the short drive up the hill, but it’s also got a little bit more charm than the open acres down the hill. The open sky makes it the perfect place to rely on your solar power as there are no electrical hookups here.  Within walking distance of the Visitors Center, the hotel, grocery store, gas station and restaurants, all contained in the Ranch at Death Valley, it’s a great base camp for your park adventures. 

    The simple bathrooms have flush toilets and hand washing sinks, great dishwashing sinks with good tasting potable water are just outside of the bathrooms. The sites are stacked pretty tightly together, so there’s not a lot of privacy and there is zero, I mean zero, shade. All of the palm trees are down at the resort, but the scenery is all mudstone, sand and gravel, and it is lovely.  Climb up the hill a short way and you can see clear across Badwater Basin and Panamint Mountains to the west. Sunrise is as lovely as sunset. 

    This is Death Valley afterall, so come prepared to set up a canopy but be careful of wind- we saw many shade structures destroyed and discarded in the dumpsters. 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. Showers (and use of the pool) and wifi are available at the Ranch for an hourly or daily fee. 

    Biking, hiking and even golf are just a few of the activities available nearby, but pay attention to Park warnings about heat. Pets are not allowed on any of the trails and only allowed to be walked on roadways, because of the hot conditions found on some of the trails. We visited in February/March and found some of the canyons pretty uncomfortable, even that early in the spring.

    Nevada Treasure RV Resort

    Trees galore

    Not sure even where to begin with this place it has so much to offer once you pull in you see a tropical vibe with amazing RV spots private little shade areas trash cans everywhere, tables at each spot, full hook ups, you can get higher end RV spots with tables and a lot more high-end stuff it has a lot going on like private grills you can get there’s a lot going on for the higher end areas and you also get a lot with just your overnighters but really this RV park has it going on it’s a resort for sure. The pool is so tropical it has a lovely waterfall going into the pool nice hot tub, go inside of the bar and restaurant and enjoy game of bowling, nice gym, gift shop, ice cream for sale in the front, mini golf in the back, literally anything you can think of this place has it going on and it’s absolutely amazing here the staff is awesome, they have appropriate parking when you come to check in so you’re not trying to find a place to park nice pool and sites, get your reservation and then go to your location, they have people driving around maintaining the park at all times. Overall this is an exquisite park close to death Valley, close to area 51, close to Beatty Nevada, not much else you would need from an RV park because they have it all!! For all his dog lovers they have an amazing dog run for your animals and they have bathrooms with shower rinse off at the pool in case you needed to rinse off before going back to your RV also they have event nights going on so check out

    Furnace Creek Campground — Death Valley National Park

    Perfect Campground in Death Valley

    Stayed for two nights in a 22’ RV at one of the full hook-up sites. Next time I come back to Death Valley, either RV or tent, I’ll probably stay here.

    Location is amazing. There’s a gas station and general store close by to pick up any supplies you’d need. About a 30 minute drive from the Mesquite sand dunes and Mosaic Canyon, about 20 minutes from Artist’s Drive, 25-30 minutes from Badwater Basin, 10 minutes from Zabriskie Point. You’re close to tons of things but we also got killer night skies once we walked a couple minutes away from our campsite.

    No wifi, expect limited cell service. You can make reservations online.

    Furnace Creek Campground — Death Valley National Park

    Lovely place to camp in winter

    We camped in March, and the daytime weather was perfect. just make sure to bring lots of layers for nighttime.

    Within walking distance of the camp are some sand dunes that are fun to run down. There’s plenty to check out in the area: hiking trails, a visitor center, nearby locations where Star Wars scenes were filmed, and a past borax mine.

    This campground allows dogs as long as you keep them on a leash of 6 ft or less. Just make sure you bring a travel water bowl and paw protection. When the ground is too hot, paws can burn, and dog booties help keep paws safe. Also be careful about the coyotes, which frequent this campground.
