Many people are allowed to enter and make ample noise after 10PM. The sites are so close to each other that sleep is impossible. With the fees they take in here they should keep a Ranger on duty until 12AM to keep careless campers from awakening others.

Great amenities, except it can get crowded and there's not many trash cans.

It lived up to my expectations of location and more privacy than most of the other campgrounds.
Good

The campsite was as described in the website picture. The campground was clean and the restrooms were clean and operational.

Great campsite with friendly volunteers & rangers. Bring what you need as the store and restaurant prices are exorbitant!

Nice campground. It was a windy day when we arrived but we were able to set up tent between trees that sheltered us. Everything else at the campground was fine.

Great location in the park. Very nice that tents and RVs are separated and the quiet hours at night are very well respected.

Sites are quite large. If you are tent camping make sure you pitch behind a windbreak

Stayed at a walk-in tent site for 5 nights in mid-January. Sites are flat and spacious, potable water available, I even had some cell reception with Google Fi (usually just text-only SMS). Would stay again, but maybe not as long, as sites are cheaper at all other first-come first-served sites in the park (Texas Springs offers similar amenities, though isn't as close to the store and visitor center). My site #146 was close to the bathrooms and sinks, which I found convenient, but my neighbors weren't thrilled about the foot traffic and sink noise. Location is good for visiting Badwater Basin, Artists Drive, Dante's View, Salt Creek, Golden Canyon. PLEASE NOTE: Firewood is not currently available within the park, so bring in your own (you may be able to purchase $11 bundles at Panamint Springs). Gas, pool/shower passes, and food/supplies are also much more expensive at Furnace Creek than at Stovepipe Wells ($6.70/gal vs $5.15/gal unleaded, $14 vs $5 for pool/shower pass).

Great campsites! Fairly protected for the area and nice sinks for cleaning dishes. The bathroom didn't have soap but other than that it was perfect. Beautiful views

Death Valley is incredible, and camping at Furnace Creek is a totally fine way to visit it. While the campsites can be small and sometimes require users to walk through other's sites, it's hard to find fault with a picnic table, fire pit, and clean bathroom in the middle of the desert. It was hot during the day, but cooled to a comfortable temperature overnight. It did get windy sometimes, so it might help just to be mentally prepared for that.
On our visit we covered the typical attractions like Zabriskie Point, Artists Drive, and the Badwater Basin. But we also recommend the dunes at Mesquite Flat as well as just walking the various horse trails and paths extending into the hills, badlands, and gaps between cliffs. We did most of this before 10am and after 5pm to take advantage of the milder temperatures and better lighting. Also, even though the park is super popular, it doesn't take much walking before you can be entirely alone with the silence and indescribable scenery. Enjoy!

The campground was in an area with trees and they helped make it feel more woody.

This was a good campground with decent facilities in Death Valley. There are restrooms with sinks and running water, dishwashing sinks and potable water, a tent area separate from RVs, some shade, picnic tables and fire rings. Nearby Furnace Creek Ranch has a restaurant, saloon and really nice store. We enjoyed visiting the Mesquite Flat Dunes and Badwater Basin.

Spacious camping area with plenty of space to move around and good access to bathrooms and water. Best place to watch stars!
