My wife and I spent 3 days/nights at Furnace Creek in different sites. The campground was not completely full but there were some open sites on most evenings. There is ZERO signal in the campground. We did get WIFI from the nearby Visitor Center which was very good most times but you could not wander very far without losing the signal. No fault to the park but... the downside... the heat. The last day we were there it was 100+. Without electric... at times it was tough getting away from the heat. We left one day early.... The park is amazing and HUGE. Drove all over with some incredible views. As for the campground... staff was very good and campground and restrooms were very clean. Cleaning stations for "dishes" and such was great. But no showers.... Dump Station was great and so was the water to fill our tank when we left.

What a beautiful clean friendly campground. Check in was flawless and what great customer service. I would definitely recommend!!
@KellyM9992231 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #150
I appreciated the big sink basins with drinkable water! The camp host was so lovely, friendly, and helpful :)
@JaneS896ED1E6C · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #12
Enjoyed this campsite very much. Site 12 is conveniently located directly across from sink station/restrooms, as well as the entrance. Nice amenities in Furnace Creek/Ranch area. Nice flat ground to pitch a tent. Was not crowded when I stayed. Well maintained.

Very well organized campground with friendly staff, in the center of all the attractions of the park.

We were in Group Site #1. There are 2 bathrooms there - one of which was closed the entire time we were there. Bear in mind that these 2 bathrooms are designated for at least 3 group sites. Having only 1 bathroom for MANY people was a huge inconvenience. I called the office during our stay and was told that they were aware of the problem but their maintenance staff was short handed. I get that but the bathroom should be a priority.
@BrandonM29B9CB · Camped on Apr 5, 2025 at Campsite #110
Very nice campsite in a great location, but a bit pricier than a lot of others in national parks, and not a whole heck of a lot of privacy, so 4/5.
@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #68
Wonderful campground and very close to the Visitors Center. Furnace Creek is located ideally in the center of the park and most everything is within a 45 minute drive. There are no showers at Furnace Creek. Didnt bother us but good to know.
@MiguelSCA1C0D1 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #143
A great place to visit during late March. Nice and clean facilities.
@Stephanie89737 · Camped on Apr 2, 2025 at Campsite #49
I stayed at Atlatl Campgrounds. The view was beautiful in every direction. The staff was super nice and I had the best time.
@RonAB35316B3FA · Camped on Apr 2, 2025 at Campsite #55
Enjoyed the 2 night stay even though had to switch sites in order to have 2 days
@TroyP6A53288A8 · Camped on Apr 1, 2025 at Campsite #56
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.
@BrianT1694442 · Camped on Mar 31, 2025 at Campsite #30
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.
@scotts8955128 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #86
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.
@AshleyM6190418 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #144
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!
@Derekj5580265 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #32
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.
@AmandaD3FB10B4 · Camped on Mar 27, 2025 at Campsite #32
Great campground conveniently located inside one of my favorite National Parks. Clean bathrooms, friendly workers, beautiful views. Try not to get a site on the side closest to the nearby hotel and youll be happier! But cant really go wrong.
@SagnikBDB09CB1 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #138
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.
@KarenC7594177 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #47
Very nice site with Electric and water thankfully as it was unusually Hot for March. Very spacious paved site with nice sunrise view. Gentleman who checked us in was incredibly nice and helpful.
@RobertT9956944 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #59
There are some really beautiful camping spots in this campground but it's hard to tell which ones benefit from the afternoon shade. Pick carefully! In general, the sites with trees on the southern and western areas of the campground seem to have better shade. The visitor center is excellent and worth spending time in to get oriented with all the possible explorations in the park.
@SteveS6334481 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #146
great facilities and helpful staff.
@DouglasN431821 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #141
The site was very spaceous and clean. The campground host was very informative. The only negative was that one of the men's bathroom stalls was not in opperation. We were there for 5 days. I can only assume that it had not been opperating for longer.
@CaroleM75BAD1F · Camped on Mar 23, 2025 at Campsite #13
I love Furnace Creek campground. Its a perfect location in the park and the spots are spacious. It was very hot this trip so that was t great - but not the parks fault! The staff at the check in kiosk - especially a dark haired younger woman - was pretty unfriendly and unhelpful. I understand that the staff are under a lot of pressure but it was the first time I have not found national park rangers to be friendly.
@ThereseF7F8749 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #40
Great location from which to explore the park.

We track all the sites so you don't have to.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
