About Furnace Creek Campground

Furnace Creek Campground is the only NPS campground in the park that is reservable. All other NPS campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-serve basis.PLEASE NOTE: The actual availability of any first-come, first served-sites (FF) IS NOT reflected on the Recreation.gov website in real time.Advance reservations are highly recommended for Furnace Creek Campground during the reservation window (October 15 - April 15).  First-come, first-served sites (FF) at Furnace Creek Campground are rare and fill quickly on weekends, around holidays, and in days preceding and just after the reservation season.  When arriving without reservations, we recommend tent campers pack camp chairs and a propane stove for cooking as not all campsites in other park campgrounds offer picnic tables and fire rings.Death Valley has a total of 9 National Park Service campgrounds to choose from in this beautiful land of extremes. Six are open year-round. Three others are closed during summer months.  Please visit our official park website to assist with trip planning and to check out all of our camping options: https://www.nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/camping.htm

Great campsite. Note that the bathroom did not have soap (they did have great water and sanitizer). There's drinking water available right there as well.

Wonderful place to camp inside the national park! Sites were spacious, bathrooms clean, and fresh water nearby. It's got a great view of the mountains and close to all the sites.

We had a wonderful experience at Furnace Creek. It was incredibly windy each night and there was little to no shade, but overall it was an excellent campground and I would definitely go back!

Camped two nights on the first week of April. Check-in is at the gate. Camp hosts made the rounds to keep the camp clean/ in-order; they keep to themselves. Flush toilets were kept clean, no hand soap (hand sanitizer instead,) and kept lit with electricity.
Large dual kitchen wash trough with three spigots (but have to depress to turn on.)

The ground is solid (very difficult to drive tent stakes.) Look for large rocks at the camp site to use as anchors. It was very windy when we camped. Anticipating this, we used our low profile 4-person tent. Even still, the winds seem to want to lift our tent away. If it not for our weight, our tent could have tumbled away.

Camp sites are among the smallest we have experienced. Neighbors can feel close if that makes you uneasy. The kitchen trough set up was the best wash station experience we had. Overall, we had a great time at this campground despite being disappointed to show up to our site with trash (beer cans and coffee cups) in the fire ring. It was easy enough to clean that up.

I appreciated the big sink basins with drinkable water! The camp host was so lovely, friendly, and helpful :)

The furnace creek campground is a clean and basic campground. We had a full hookup site. Everything worked as it was supposed to. The other campers were friendly. We did not ever interact with or see the campground host. Flushing toilets in the bathrooms are nice.

Other than the excessive winds the campground was well laid out. The restrooms were clean and comfortable. The water troughs were an excellent touch. We enjoyed it immensely. Great place for the main base camp.
