Very small space with ambiguous space layout with space #17. Luckily space #17 cancelled. Highly recommend alternative space, but overall campsite was perfectly located for our time.

Park staff and volunteers were very kind and helpful. The campground and Park were well maintained and we enjoyed our stay.

Furnace Creek Campground is a great area with beautiful views in the morning. I would not recommend 016 if you're bringing a trailer. The firepit is almost touching the cement of the parking space.

Great spot in the middle of Death Valley National Park. Level camp spot. Clean bathrooms.No electricity, no showers, but loads of stars at night!

I book the campsite on last minute availability and didn't realize that there was no hook ups. I guess I should have read the fine print. There is very little signal so I need to bring a GPS with offline maps next time. The sewage dump was also out of order. It wasn't totally bad since this was the only campsite that allows campfire. The campsite was relatively in expensive considering the amount of people trying to access this particular campground.

The bathroom was clean. The fire ring was just right for cooking with pie irons. We had shade under a mesquite tree. The campground is perfectly situated to see everything on our list. Glad we got to stay in this amazing place!

The park was wonderful! The weather did not cooperate with our visit so we did leave a few days earlier than planned.

It was nice and quiet. The sites are good size and easy to get around the park. The cell service works the best in the morning.

Death Valey was one of the best parks we have visited. Many interesting things to explore both with a vehicle and hiking

Good, central location. Campground actually had some greenery, which is rare for this park!

we visited late oct 2022, the campsite was perfect. clean, quiet.. reserved the wrong day on our 2nd day there & were still able to find an unreserved spot when we got there around 10-11pm. close to everything youd want to see in DV. would & will stay again!

Well organized at check in

Very much nicer and more spacious than the other campgrounds near the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, but itโ€™s wonderful to have those sites as well if able to plan in advance or get a reservation in advance!

Great experience. Look closely at maps of campground on line. If possible, use a satellite image available online to see the actual length, angle of entry, etc into your chosen site. Our site was wonderful, but there was no way to back into it going the proper direction on the one way street. We went in the wrong direction to back in.
