Furnace Creek Campground

We ended up not staying. There wasn’t a good place to set up a tent since it was mostly gravel. The ranger was out for lunch so we couldn’t speak to anyone. It would be great if the camp host or another person could cover the incoming guests during the lunch break.

Very hot, not many trees and sites are super close to each other! Stay at the private campground next door!

Our walk-in site was a bit awkward as it required us to walk around or through another site. Otherwise everything was fine.

It was a very comfortable place to stay. However, at other parks, I’ve stayed out they’ve given warnings if there’s bad things around. Twice a coyote ran right through the middle of the park right behind are actually between our campsite and another campsite. When a coyote went through people would scream coyote real loud so people knew there was a coyote. I’d suggest all parks give warnings if there’s coyotes skunks bad things that frequent their RV spot. This is the third time I’ve been to furnace Creek in the third time I’ve seen coyotes in the RV park once I was in the temp park and a coyote basically ran right behind a jackrabbit that was running for its life and ran right through our chair ring where we were all sitting. Just a simple yellow piece of paper that says please beware coyotes come in campsite frequently. If you see one scream coyote, so all people can pay attention to their dogs. This was dictated sorry if it’s rambling.

The campers kept gong back to the car, created noise all night long. Otherwise it was nice camp ground and easy access to a lot of your site and hiking trails.

Overall, it’s good. However, it doesn’t have shade while the units on the left do. It’s also a bit far from the trash cans. The driveway is somewhat short— even if the first car is pulled all the way forward onto the unpaved area, the second car’s tail may still hang out onto the road. There is separate parking nearby, though.

Great location with easy access to gas, amenities, and hikes! Perfect spot for stargazing, and our campsite had plenty of shade later in the day. Would definitely come here in the winter/early spring again!
