Just an update here. The gas station/restaurant is closed, the building boarded up. This is a sun baked overnight place on hot gravel, with zero amenities. The office is now a 5th wheel trailer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is located behind the Fort Amargosa Truck Stop at the intersection of US95 and CA373. I was headed south to Las Vegas and it became very windy. This was a good place to pull off the road and spend the night. Gravel roads and pads. Good 50amp. I did not use the sewer or water hookup. Check in and pay the cashier in the truck stop. I think there are about 50 sites, but this is only a guess. There were lots of empty ones and most people stayed only one night. An OK restaurant in the truck stop. I had the home made meatloaf. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have stayed here for several years and nothing has changed. Nothing added or taken away. Pull-throughs on gravel are level. Not much to do except a long drive to Death Valley, a little farther to Pahrump and some nice exploring of the nearby Wildlife Refuge. The casino is modest, to say the least. There is a restaurant that is about like a Denny's, and there is a modest supply store. On the whole: this place is clean and quiet. If you camp here in August you have the place to yourself: were only 3 other RVs in the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was on a dirt parking lot--very dusty. There were messy ducks near the pool and entry to the casino--where the showers are. You could have skated in! The showers were clean but the general overall property was "tired." It was very close to Death Valley. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stopped her one night on our way through southern Nevada. The RV park is a large gravel parking lot behind the casino. Clean, level sites with full hookups. However, cable was not working while we were there. There are beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and a great place to take the dog for a long walk off leash. Bathrooms and showers must be inside the Inn and we didn't check them out. This place is a very long way from everything except Death Valley, but a good place to spend a night or two. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park may not have very many amenities but it is a great little park to stay in. We spent two months here and enjoyed every minute of our time. Rock hunting is so GREAT here! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Food in restaurant was good. People very friendly. Good location for seeing Death Valley. There were more people in the motel than in the RV area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Friendly staff. No wifi available and limited facilities (could not see a laundromat or restrooms/showers). Nice site for the price, with mountain views. Don't expect too much; it's in the middle of nowhere but very close to Death Valley. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was alright if you don't expect or want much. The pull thru sites were large but it is in the desert so there isn't any shade. We were there in May and it was 107 degrees out and the pool wasn't open! Other than the casino on the property there isn't much around for 40 miles or so. Well there is Death Valley which was terrific. We'd stay there again if we had to. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Receptionist not very friendly. She had a could care less attitude. Good place to base out of to see Death Valley. Ducks leave a lot of crap by the back doors to go into the building, so be careful. Sites big and wide, plenty of space for the biggest rigs and tow. Food was only ok. Sites are gravel with a wind blowing, it kicks up dust all over. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A good place to use as a base to see Death Valley. Sites are all gravel, level drive-through with lots of space. The small restaurant has good, reasonably priced food. The casino has video poker and some penny and nickel slots. There is a small general store for emergencies, but the nearest real market is in Pahrump. Gasoline is available in Lathrop Wells, north about 15 miles. Cell phone service (Verizon) was Extended Network, so Air Card did not work for the internet. A small twister (dust devil) went through the campground, damaging several rigs, not too severe. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
