Best RV Parks & Resorts near Beatty, NV

We stayed here for two nights, one night in the RV park and one night in the hotel. Calling this an RV "Resort" might be a bit of a stretch but it was nice enough. It's basically a big parking lot with hookups. We were disappointed that there were no picnic tables. The night we were there the campground was only about half full so we were able to pick a site that was away from everybody else. There is no bathroom/shower building, so you have to go into the Casino to go to the bathroom or take a shower. They have a nice convenience store and a gas station that also has diesel. The campground has too much light at night for our tastes. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times and the food was very good. The second night we stayed in the hotel. The rooms were very nice and clean.

The main reason we stayed here was so that we could visit the nearby Ash Meadow Wildlife Refuge. This place is a must see! The largest oasis in the Mohave Desert. There are miles of boardwalks that take you around some springs and a very nice Visitor Center. And it's free!

Stayed here on a 3 day trip to Death Valley. Full hook up for $35/night, 30 months from Death Valley-easy drive. It’s basically a parking lot but we’ll maintained, WiFi, a store and casino, showers and bathrooms. And gas here is literally 1/2 the price you’ll pay 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.

The Stovepipe Wells Village RV park is a different (and privately owned) RV campground nearly adjacent to the NPS-run Stovepipe Wells Campground. 

Open year-round, this is one of the priciest places to stay in Death Valley charging $40 a night for a parking lot drive in site with hookups. There are very few sites here (14 in total) and they do take reservations.  The property is managed by the hotel across the road and you have to check in for the RV park there. You also have access to the hotel facilities (ie. pool) if you pay the $40.

Stovepipe wells RV park has air and water at the gas station/market (where the RV park is).  Gas here was almost 2$ cheaper than in Furnace Creek (about 25 miles away). There is also a general store minimart with souvenirs here in Stovepipe Wells Village.  Beer, water and soft drinks were surprisingly very cheap considering how far removed you are from civilization. A good hub for a sunrise or sunset hike up the sand dunes or an early start at Mosaic Canyon. Not too far from the Artists Drive.

Other than pool access at the hotel, this site doesn't offer much more than the NPS site next door which is only $14. The only reason we considered staying here was that the NPS site is only open during 'season' beginning in mid-October, so it was the only site actually available when we went.

So this place is super pretty and green the only thing green in this entire valley it  has an actual resort, with hotel rooms, they do have an RV park with hook ups but I would call the resort to inquire, anyway they have a golf course, horseback riding is available which I did as a teenager here, a nice pool, shopping, etc...

When you see the gas station it's right behind that is the Fiddlers’ Campground.

Campsites are $24 per night. NO hookups, no pull-throughs, no sewer or electric... just basic back-in sites.

on their website it states with your nightly rental, guests enjoy the Ranch’s natural spring-fed swimming pool, shower facility, coin-operated laundry which I did check out and is nice, and sports courts including a Tennis Court, Shuffleboard, Volleyball, Bocce Ball, and Basketball Court. 

Your nearby to the  Ranch’s restaurants and the General Store for camping supplies, groceries, and souvenirs.

I took pictures of the entire park from the camp grounds, the rv park, hotel and the shops. A lot of parking at well.

Sunset campground is one of three campgrounds in the Furnace Creek area. Furnace Creek campground has full hookups for RVs, can be reserved and is often full. Texas Springs campground is more tent friendly, can handle smaller RVs but does not have hookups, and is first come first served. Sunset campground is a large flat gravel lot, no hookups and no reservations. The advantage is that it's really big, with a lot of overflow capacity and so if you can't find a spot at the other two, there's likely an available spot here. It'll be close to other RVs and the campground itself isn't pretty, but it is surrounded by beautiful hills.

We were here in late January, and the lot was probably a quarter full, so our views weren't blocked and we were able to find a spot immediately. Next time I would try Texas Springs first and if that's full (it was most nights while we were there) I'd go to Sunset. You drive in, select your spot and pay at one of the pay station.

The location is central -- it's just across the street from the Ranch at Death Valley (which has a fancy general store and some restaurants, including an ice cream shop). Gas at the filling station was $1.50 a gallon more than at Stovepipe Wells. The campground is walking distance to the Death Valley visitor center. It's pretty central to most of the sights in the area.

The Stovepipe Wells Campground/RV Park's strength is its location. It's in the middle of Death Valley National Park so you can more easily reach the more remote highlights compared to the Furnace Creek area.  However, if you want to be in the middle of the activity, head to Furnace Creek.  

The RV area of Stovepipe Wells is just an open field with hook-ups spaced with just enough room for a rig to fit in between. Thus, you are right on top of your neighbors, which is weird since there's so much wide open space here.  I think if you didn't need hook ups or had a tent you might be able to spread out more than we did.

While we were there in December 2019, the wifi was non-existent and the power was very intermittent.  In fact, we went two days with no power at all, which was really unfortunate since we paid for the hook up.  Also, restrooms are quite a walk away from the hook up area, so if you are counting on using the bathrooms, be prepared to walk a bit to either the gas station or across the street to the hotel lobby area.  

We were promised a refund for the days we didn't receive the services we paid for but they never followed through and the employees seemed powerless to do anything to help.  Kind of a let down. When we return to Death Valley, we'll probably stay closer to Furnace Creek.

Spaces 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.

Locations near to Death Valley NP. Casino and Gas station near. Propano fill available.🔹Great guest services. Full hookups sites. Spots are very big. Amenities are clean. The Sunset is so expectacular! And the star in the night, amazing! 🔹For sure we will stay again and recommend🔹

We could not get into the full hookup campground in Death Valley so opted to stay here. D.V. is an easy 45 minute drive. This park is a gravel lot behind a small casino. Clean and wide spaces. Clean bathrooms and showers. Casino provides restaurant, pool and some gambling. We would stay here again.

The campground is part of the Oasis Resort, located by the Ranch. The amenities for the Ranch are included in the campground fees. The actual campground area is a gravel parking lot with 50’ parking areas for RVs.

Best campground in Death Valley. It's still crowded and can be noisey during the day, but pretty quiet at night. Great stargazing! We were lucky enough to get a campsite with trees, provides much needed privacy and shade! Great restrooms, fire pit and table at each site. RV spots as well. Dumpsters and store nearby.

I 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.

The best part about the campground is the location! Super easy to get to all the great sights. We were tent camping in site 14 which has an RV spot, fire pit and a picnic table. We were across the street from the bathrooms and they are flush and have a dishwashing station. The campground was quiet even on New Year’s Eve! Great December camping

I thought Oatman, Arizona was the only place I would find wild burros but I was wrong!! I went to Rhyolite and stopped off for a stay in Beatty, only about 5 miles away from the ghost town site and art park. I was excited to have found this location because most everything I looked up only was indicating places to stay that were in excess of 40 minutes from the site. This place is hidden gem in camping world clearly as it has a location which is very unique to something very cool.

But back the burros, they roam wild here, and while I do not know why, they are friendly and were a fun addition to my trip while I settled in for the stay.

At first I thought this place was only for RV campers but when I inquired I was pleased to find out that they accommodated tents as well.

So how did I discover it? Ironically for the market, we were looking for a fresh fruit snack (this place is the only place in town you can find fresh fruits like this we were told) to take with us to Rhyolite and when we went in and happened to tell the people we were looking for a place and they mentioned they did accommodate tents! SCORE ONE FOR THE GOOD GUYS!!!

But the winning just kept on winning with this place, they had free coffee, wifi and cable for those who were traveling in RVS. For us tent campers they had nice facilities, hook ups and bbq grills.

I felt like we left the house not knowing where we were going to stay and thinking it might just be easier to make the long drive back to Vegas than to drive 40 minutes out of the way to camp only to discover we had hit the winning lottery ticket with this place.

Sure the name is kinda weird, but you are in the middle of the extraterrestrial obsession area so while we didn't ask we assumed it had something to do with that.

I would give this place more than 5 stars if it was available to do so!! The staff was so helpful and friendly, the grounds were well kept and very nice and the price was better than I was expecting with all that I was getting at only $15.

I think when people are looking for sites they often want all the bells and whistles and for a person in a tent sometimes it is just finding a site that isn't just designed for RVs that makes all the difference!!

TIPS:

• Shop at the store they have everything to make your stay nice.
• Don't feed the burros they will adopt you and continue to want you to feed them.
• Check out Rhyolite which will be one of the highlights of your trip in this area ( I have included some photos of that area because it is amazing and completely unexpected amidst the desert)

We were mapping our trip and Beatty won the draw for mileage. The Space Station win out. They were the cheapest. The host was very friendly and they were there until late. Many places are closed at 5 pm. We saw burros on the way into town and on the road. There are many places to visit here but we were just staying overnight so on we went. Adequate showers. The hookups had brand new electrical boxes. The site was gravel but level. They sell propane here also. Great overall site. Dog friendly. T-mobile and ATT were okay, the wifi helped.

[Internet. There was full 3G signal for Verizon but no service for T-Mobile. Speedtest wouldn’t run. Verizon was usable in that you could download and upload but it took a long time. From my iPhone, I could send photos via iMessage but not SMS.]

We stayed in the massive parking lot side. There is a few full hookup sites that are reservable. The parking lot is first-come-first-served. It serves its purpose as a place to stay near the dunes. Nothing more. The Stovepipe Village is right next to the campground. There’s a general store, a motel and a saloon. The store has some killer Blue Bunny ice cream sandwiches and some comfy rocking chairs outside for when you eat your ice cream.

It’s basic and served it’s purpose well. No red flags. 4-stars

My husband and I were at Death Valley 8 years ago (2011) staying in Furnace Creek hotel rooms. This year (2019) we returned with our tents as part of a California National Park tent trip and wow were we surprised! The park has had a major renovation with great shopping and options for your stay. With our senior park pass we get into the parks free and camping is 50% off, so our two night stay was a whopping $16.00. We drove up to the newly remodeled inn that has rooms for 350-600$ a night, and while we were there, someone was arriving via helicopter, truly a luxury resort. We learned that the owner of the LA kings hockey team has purchased the resort and has many improvements planned.

We were reminded how far everything is within the park, you may choose to hike a trail and it may be an hour or two drive away, there is gas in the park, but you may a nice price for it! The main gas station in furnace creek had gas for $5.46 per gallon, however gas at the stovepipe wells was only $4.21.

We choose the hike to zabrieski point for sunrise and sunset, the natural bridge (very rough road) and the 8.5 round trip hike to wild rose peak which was very challenging.

This year, Scotty’s castle is closed until 2020 due to flood damage, so we were happy we had seen it on our prior visit.

We camped at furnace creek campground which is one of the few open after Memorial Day and is first come, first serve, no advance reservations. We arrived around noon and most sites were available, however later that night, most were occupied. The campground has many toilets with running water and flush toilets, and there is a dishwashing station by most bathrooms. There are tent sites and full hookup sites. There are trash dumpsters with areas for recycling and empty propane containers. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring.

There is a golf course, swimming pool, horse riding (closes in May), many nice restaurants and a spa.

Here’s the best deal, for 10$ per person you get a pool and shower pass for all day! The pool is awesome, spring fed warm water. The showers have massive pressure with hot water.

What can I say you are in Death Valley where the heat can get so insane you can feel it collapsing your lungs and melting your face but at this campground that can be a lot less of a problem as you are welcomed with the temperature at the visitor's center. Sure it is still hot and miserable most of the time, but what better way to embrace it than to just let it all hang out so you can see it.

I was very interested in this campground just inside of California when I was staying in Nevada over the first part of the year, it had great reviews and looked like a nice campsite. When I arrived I was not disappointed at all it was well kept, offered some shade and had nice even sites for tents or RVs alike.

Unlike my usual desire to have no amenities, I feel like staying in place like this I need a few luxuries just in case. So it was nice to find sites with electrical hook ups and potable water. The electrical hook ups made it nice for having a small fan which didn't rely on batteries which can drain quickly and that made it more than comfortable on the hot evening.

Where my tent was located the short shrubs provided a nice wind break however I did notice in some of the more open spots it can get a little blustery and we noticed several dust devils popping up across the area in the distance, very common for this region.

The campsite does accept reservations however when we were there mid week in late spring it wasn't packed so no reservation was needed.

I did notice that some of the areas were marked with heat warnings which included closure postings during certain times and warnings about temperatures after 10 a.m. I was fortunate in that it wasn't terrible just yet but already it was beginning to get that way despite it being spring. By summer I would not recommend staying here unless you were able to get inside of an RV it would be far to hot for myself in my little tent.

TIPS:

• Keep hydrated when staying here or at any of the Death Valley campgrounds.

• Obey postings of warnings, they are there for a reason!! We were listening to a ranger in the visitor center and he was telling us some statistics and it was enough to make you want to listen to everything you hear them say!!

• Fuel up before getting to 1/4 tank anytime you are entering the Death Valley or Mohave area you never know what will happen and you would rather be safe than sorry in case you are rendered stranded , at least with gas you can rely a bit on your air.

Quiet, remote BLM site. No amenities. 5 miles outside of Beatty, Nevada off of Death Valley Road.
