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

Furnace creek is one of the worst campground I’ve stayed in a National park. The sites are uneven and on top of each other. There is no reason for how close the sites are to each other. You can hear the generators from other campers run all night, even in the tent only side. Other campers had no idea about light pollution caused by their string up lights nor any sense of car door slamming. I guess the rangers have decided not to enforce the quit hours. Only saw them drive through once the 5 days I was there. I may stay here again, but it will only be because I have no other choice.

Nicest campground in the park by far. Clean restrooms. Well maintained facilities. Saloon and restaurant an easy 5 minute walk. Must go to the Oasis hotel and have a drink and dinner in the bar.

Nice Campground. The long sites are very nice. The only thing I didn't like is that there are no showers there. About half the sites are no hookups. Just thinking maybe even PAY SHOWERS would be nice. At least it would be an option. We stayed there for 2 weeks with no hookups, but luckily we have large tanks on our rig. But still, there should be showers. Oh you could go the Ranch at Death Valley and get a pass for $14 for one day to use the pool and showers.

Great central location to camp. Militant camp host left a ‘courtesy notice’ on my vehicle because the kiosk was closed when I rolled in. I even left a confirmation of my reservation on my dash but they still wanted to flex their non existent authority.
