I agree with the above poster. I got a pull through site and it was level. I saw other campers swimming at the Resort pool though we didn't. You can only camp here for 14 days each year, so its not a place to winter. Be sure to come fully supplied, the closest full grocery is in Parumph. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Furnace Creek Campground is operated by the National Park Service, not a concessionaire. We have stayed at two other campgrounds in Death Valley (Texas Spring and Mesquite Spring) and like this campground the best. First, there is some shade, albeit of a limited variety. Secondly, it is centrally located within the park and thirdly, it enjoys some nice views of the Panamint and Funeral Mountains which make for good sunset and sunrise watching. Additionally, it is within walking distance of the Visitors Center and the other services of Furnace Creek - store, post office, restaurant, etc. Amenities at the campgrounds in Death Valley are limited, but that's not what you come here for. I based my overall rating more on a comparison to other campgrounds in Death Valley, rather than to private campgrounds or resorts elsewhere. Generators are allowed but restricted to limited hours. There are a few pull-throughs. We had no trouble getting our 32' Class A in here. There are no hook-ups, but there is a dump station and potable water is available. The restrooms have just toilets and sinks, no showers. Reservations can be made at 1-800-365-2267 or reservations.nps.gov. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very rude, very dusty,pets welcome but no where to walk them. Will never stay at this campground again, the employees are very very rude. They booked our site for the next night even though we had it booked and told us we had to move. Stay at the Park sites even with out hookups I'd rather support the park than put money in the concession pockets. We stayed in Death Valley in March and even though it was in the 90's it wasn't bad with the breeze. We didn't need the AC. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very RUDE and SURLY check-in employees. They could care less whether you stay or go away. Typical attitude for a tourist destination. There are aproximately 100 more RV sites here, but are all taken by employee's or local help and they only rent out 12 spaces total. Sites are un-level dirt that is dusty when dry and muddy when wet. The hookup pedestals are in need of repair. Do not plan on arriving early as they will not let you check in until 2pm. They will lie to you and tell you there are no sites "ready" yet before 2pm when in reality they are as ready as they will ever be. Would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good location with full hock ups to see Death Valley. Wi-Fi was spotty if at all. Beautiful desert nights to see the stars. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I was only one a few brave souls. I had space number 12, nice and quiet. Restrooms and showers were decent and clean. Had some issue with the 30amp power the first night around 2am and I had to hookup to the 15amp power. The grey water/sewer hole destroyed my hose., When I pulled it out it smelled bad and was off gassing, I had to throw it away. I would stay here again though, in the Spring time! The restaurant was very good and expensive as noted by other reviewers. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a rustic and somewhat primitive RV park by most RV park standards, but it's quite nice by desert standards. The views of the Panamint Valley from the RV park are incredible. During our stay we enjoyed walks in the desert looking at beautiful wildflowers and colorful rocks. There are only 12 full hookup sites in the park. They are all gravel pull-throughs and are mostly level. There are a combination of 26 additional pull-through and back-in sites available with electricity only. Maneuvering within the park may be difficult for large motorhomes due to trees and shrubs. The Panamint Springs resort produces their own electricity using a large diesel generator which runs 24/7 some distance from the motel. It can be heard but is not intrusive. The voltage in the RV park hovered between 132 and 134 volts most of time. Our hard-wired SureGuard surge protector disconnects the power to our travel trailer anytime the power rose above 133 volts (to protect the electronics), so our power was on and off throughout our entire stay as voltage in the park fluctuated. This was quite a frustrating experience at first until we learned we could keep the power on as long as we needed by turning on a higher wattage appliance inside our trailer to lower the voltage slightly. I tested several other sites and found the same over-voltage condition. I spoke with 3 different park employees during the 4 days we stayed who said nothing could be done about the dangerously high voltage... it was needed to compensate for the long wire run from the generator to the park. I understand this is a common situation encountered when RV'ing in Mexico. I'm amazed that it doesn't cause problems for more guests of this RV park. Water was plentiful and the pressure was excellent in the park. Free WiFi is provided with good signal strength in the park. When it works, it's quite fast. Despite the voltage, we would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Some nice, shaded sites, many with great views. Popular with tent campers and people who like to cook out and sit around the fire. Women's room had only 1 sink (another had been removed from the wall), and a mesh door, which made visits, and especially showering, very cold. One of the toilets leaked, so the floor was always wet. Not the friendliest staff, but they seemed to be overworked. Great beer selection in the motel store. Gas station store didn't sell milk, and the station was out of gasoline. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second year in a row at this RV park. Ownership changed March, 2006, just after our last visit. The new owner has spent the past 10 months renovating the guest rooms. Not much has been done to the RV Park, however, this is Death Valley.....sand, rocks. Very peaceful setting with amazing views of the Panamint Valley, and sand dunes. This is not Palm Springs, and there is no grass. Sites are level, and hookups are easily accessible. All sites are pull through. I made my reservations online through their website, and received confirmation via e-mail within an hour, along with the space # I had been assigned. Checkin was swift, and pleasant. They give a 10% AAA discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We made reservations 6 weeks in advance and when we arrived our space was taken (one of only 12 full hookup sites). Check in girl was indifferent and new owner of 9 days said our reservation was "out the window" and only offered us a no hookup site. Shabby campground that is dirty and rocky with an owner that has a "too bad" attitude. We did not stay here. Needless to say we will never go there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We deliberately picked this park because of advertised full hookups. However, the sewer dump at each of the open sites was located a foot above ground level. As the downspout on my tanks is only that high, I was incapable of hooking up to any site (each site is stepped slightly from the next). I ended up turning completely around before I left and using my neighbors (downhill) sewer. Thanks, Kind Stranger! This would not be a problem for someone with higher mounted tanks, such as a fifth-wheel with flipped axles. Other than that, good park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Except for the restrooms, which needed a little TLC (we used our motorhome facilities), this is a great place to spend time during the winter....elevation is 2000'. They have a wonderful restaurant on site, plus rooms for rent, a small store for things you may have forgotten, and a Shell gas station. The views are great, and there are plenty of shade trees, which are not really found at the other Death Valley campgrounds. This is also the only place in Death Valley National Park where you can get some cell phone service. I have Verizon, and was able to make and receive calls. This is a good jumping off site for visiting the many attractions of Death Valley National Park. We did a day hike to Darwin Falls, the source of water for Panamint Springs Resort, visited the sand dunes at Stovepipe Wells, hiked up Mosaic Canyon (amazing!), and visited the charcoal kilns in Wildrose Canyon (http://www. nps. gov/deva/Charcoal. htm) at about 7,000 feet elevation....there was snow on the ground....well worth the drive. Next visit we will see Scotty's Castle, Furnace Creek, Bad Water, and the many other sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Again the employees were very rude, same concession that owns Furnace Creek Ranch owns and runs this one. We ended up staying at the park no hook up for $5 ($10.reg) Stay at the park campgrounds they are very nice and offer just as much if you don't really need hookups. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Only 20 sites in a dirt field managed by Xanterra, cannot make reservations and it was full everyday. It's in the middle of the park so if you want to participate in ranger guided walks or talks you should stay in the area of Furnace Creek. Next door were dry camping areas run by the park at $10/night, but the air conditioning sure was appreciated during the afternoons and worth the extra $10 a day for hookups. We visited in for 4 days in March and temp was above 90F everyday. Travel advice: don't take Hwy 190 going west to get out of the park. Very steep and hairpin turns, dangerous. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
