    The Oasis at Death Valley Fiddlers' Campground

    Parking lot

    Check 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.

    Space Station RV Park & Market

    Basic but has the essentials

    We enjoyed our stay here. TJ does a good job taking care of the place. Our site was a pull in (most welcome) and partially shaded by mature trees. Felt less like “parking lot” style camping. Used the laundry facility - $2.75 took care of washing and drying a medium size load. Pleased at the price as I was prepared to spend a lot more drying clothes. Right by the road so you do have road noise. Walking distance to the Happy Burro where we had a cold beer and chatted with some friendly locals. Burros visited campground both nights we were there. Walking distance to a small casino (you can get gas, ice, candy, ice cream, Subway). Convenient to Death Valley NP and the ghost town of Rhyolite.

    Emigrant Campground — Death Valley National Park

    Good free camping next to a road

    Stayed probably 10 nights here this season between February and May. It can fill up quickly in the afternoon or evening, so plan to arrive early and, if going out to play, leave something to indicate your site is occupied.

    This is tent only but I’ve slept in my small truck camper here and many sleep in vans or vehicles. I’ve seen quite a few small RVs here too.

    Water is not potable year round, will be deemed not potable and/or shut off mid-May per convo with NPS employee. Fill at Stovepipe, Panamint, or elsewhere in summer. Showers, pool, WiFi available 10-ish miles away at Stovepipe for $10. No cell service at camp. Spotty 3G at Stovepipe.

    Bathrooms are clean with no noticeable mold. Site can get VERY windy. Take care of your stuff. I’ve saved multiple tents here that weren’t properly secured while their owners were out for the day.

    No shade here and the road can be loud. Traffic fumes can also be a factor, depending on wind direction, for those who are sensitive when people using the rest stop leave their rigs idling.

    Overall, I recommend this spot as a single night or two but not for much more than that. It’s a great base close to showers but far enough out of the busier campgrounds and crowds.

    The Oasis at Death Valley Fiddlers' Campground

    Only perk is wifi and location to park

    There is no quiet time. Generators ran all night. The jeep rental company at the front of the lot started pressure washing jeeps at 5:15am. The construction crew kicked off their day and heavy machinery at 6:25am. No privacy, sites are right on top of each other, especially with bigger rigs (I was car camping). Pool and showers is included in the fee (week nights 29 weekends 34). Had WiFi not been required for me working all of the other campsites around that are part of the NP are much nicer and more scenic views and cheaper. WiFi only works near office and restaurants, so no matter where you stay on the property you have to come to the front to use WiFi (for most people not a big deal, but I’m working so it was inconvenient but better than nothing). There is a bar and food / restaurants on site- all severely overpriced. Local draft beer $11, grilled cheese $17, breakfast buffet $18, dinner buffet $32. I didn’t use the pool but lots of others did and seemed really happy with it. Staff was all nice except a younger man working early shift at reception. All in all - Would not stay here again.

    Emigrant Campground — Death Valley National Park

    free, quiet campground

    no one else was there when we arrived later in the evening though we only camped for one night at the end of summer. no one else ever showed up either. just a few cars drove by every now and then. we were exhausted so we just opened a couple windows to the car rather than set up our tent. toilets were within walking distance/next to the parking lot but closed due to bees. port-a-potties were available instead. at night, the stars were absolutely beautiful. it was pretty hot but by opening the car windows and using some battery powered fans, we managed!

    Space Station RV Park & Market

    Great jumping off spot.

    Very clean little rv park. Booked after reading an article about Beatty and it was time to see more of my state. Rhyolite ghost town, Beatty museum, Death Valley to name a few places there are super close by. Wild burros still through occasionally for an added surprise.

    Space Station RV Park & Market

    Overnight

    Small, basic campground. Full hook ups. Cheap. $34 on a Friday night. Store but looks minimally stocked. Out of ice. Single person bath with shower. Laundry, did not use. Quick walk to store and several restaurants. Would stay again.

    Space Station RV Park & Market

    Cooler Than Death Valley

    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.

    Emigrant Campground — Death Valley National Park

    Basic but Wonderful

    Free, convenient, and a great view of the rolling mountains; what more can you ask for? We came in late to Death Valley one night in November, crossing our fingers that we would be able to find somewhere to camp without a reservation. Low and behold, right after entering the park we stumbled upon Emigrant! Just to the left of the main road, this campground is a simple gravel lot with about ten unmarked spots around the perimeter. It was pretty full and we took the last open spot. There is a path leading to a bathroom with flush toilets (!!!), a couple of picnic tables, and some dumpsters for trash disposal. If you're coming into the park along highway 190 from the southwest, this is a prime place to set up for the night.


Guide to Beatty

Beatty, Nevada sits at 3,307 feet elevation on the eastern edge of Death Valley, where temperatures range from winter lows around 30°F to summer highs frequently exceeding 100°F. The area serves as a strategic base for exploring both Death Valley National Park and Nevada's ghost towns. Camping options near Beatty include established RV parks, tent campgrounds, and luxury glamping accommodations with varying levels of amenities.

What to do

Explore historic ghost towns: Rhyolite ghost town is located just 5 miles from Space Station RV Park & Market, making it an easy day trip. "We docked at the spacestation for a rendezvous with the rhyolite ghost town. This park is good for a brief stop over or jumping off point to the gateway to Death Valley as well," notes one visitor.

Watch for wild burros: The area around Beatty is home to wild burros that frequently visit campgrounds. At Space Station RV Park, "the local burros were friendly, and the moon was spectacular!" A guest at Death Valley Inn & RV Park commented, "Nice and quite place. With shade!" which provides comfortable viewing spots.

Take advantage of Death Valley day trips: Many campers use Beatty as their home base while exploring Death Valley National Park. "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," reports one camper, highlighting the temperature advantage of staying in Beatty.

What campers like

Access to swimming pools: During hot months, pool access becomes crucial. At The Oasis at Death Valley Fiddlers' Campground, "you have full access to the resort. It was a short walk over to the pool which we loved as it was extremely hot." Another camper adds, "Site fees include flush toilets next door, use of pool (8:00 am to 11:00 pm), General store, 3 dining options."

Mountain-top views: For panoramic desert vistas, consider glamping in Beatty, Nevada at elevated sites. At Emigrant Campground, "the view is great" and "Campsite is at 2000 feet so cooler than bottom and way less crowded." This elevation difference provides both temperature relief and scenic advantages.

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the well-maintained facilities at campgrounds near Beatty. "The campsite is well kept. Trash can we're changed regularly. The restrooms are close and well kept," notes one Emigrant Campground visitor. Similarly, Space Station RV Park receives praise for its "super clean toilet" and maintained grounds.

What you should know

Hot water availability varies: While some glamping sites near Beatty offer hot water, others have limited facilities. Bonnie Claire Gold Mill Ghost Town Camping has unique thermal features as one visitor notes: "Has a well and pump shoots hot water. Reason why I'm gonna do a hot thermal spring oasis."

Water access concerns: Water availability can be seasonal at some campgrounds. At Emigrant Campground, "Water is not potable year round, will be deemed not potable and/or shut off mid-May per convo with NPS employee. Fill at Stovepipe, Panamint, or elsewhere in summer."

Wind conditions: The desert environment brings strong winds. One camper at Emigrant warns: "Site can get VERY windy. Take care of your stuff. I've saved multiple tents here that weren't properly secured while their owners were out for the day."

Tips for camping with families

Consider the location trade-offs: When glamping in Beatty with children, weigh proximity to attractions against other factors. Emigrant Campground offers "free, convenient, and a great view of the rolling mountains" but sits close to the road where "traffic fumes can also be a factor, depending on wind direction."

Look for recreation options: Some campgrounds offer activities for kids. The Oasis at Death Valley provides "Tennis Court, Shuffleboard, Volleyball, Bocce Ball, and Basketball Court" with your camping fees, making it suitable for active families.

Plan for extreme temperatures: Desert heat impacts family camping comfort. "It was pretty hot but by opening the car windows and using some battery powered fans, we managed!" shares one Emigrant Campground visitor. Consider camping in cooler months or selecting sites with shade or electricity for fans.

Tips from RVers

Check campground restrictions: Not all sites accommodate RVs. At Emigrant Campground, RVers discovered: "We planned on staying here in our little Toyota Motorhome but when we arrived, we saw a 'Tent Only' sign."

Find full-hookup options: For extended stays, seek campgrounds with complete utilities. At Guadalupe's State Line Nevada/California Camp Ground, RVers appreciate that it's "the best price and close to all the action in Amargosa Valley" while providing needed hookups.

Assess maneuverability: Big rig access varies between campgrounds. Space Station RV Park receives praise from large vehicle owners: "The park had everything we needed for our over night stay" and "We have a big 5th wheel & it accommodated us well as we were just traveling through."
