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.

We have stayed at Furnace Creek many times and it has always been exceptionally well run, clean, and pleasant. This years visit was no exception. The campground hosts were especially attentive and helpful.

The park rangers are just there for the paycheck. We had campers next to us doing their laundry with a portable washing machine. They were dumping the water right into the creek bed that flowed through the campground. They were also dumping their RO wastewater in the same creek. We went and told the park rangers, and they did nothing. The neighbors did their laundry everyday polluting the ground without a care in the world.People run their RV motors and generator outside of the regulated time window and the very same rangers and site hosts do not care. So, if you like camping at a clean and respectable campground this place is not for you. If you like to trash the place and act like you are camping at a frat party, then this campground is perfect for your disrespectful intentions.As a side note, there was a storm that came through and knocked out the power (no fault of the NPS). It was out most of the day and the park was not charged for power consumption since there was no power, yet every camper was still charged the same electrical service fee for the day even though it was not impossible to assess electricity. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAMPGROUND

I liked it, the only thing is that the privacy might be an issue here, the lots are located very close to each other, other than that I really liked the place!

Peaceful and clean.

We stayed 3 nights in early November 2024. Great campsite. Everything worked fine and the on site staff were wonderful.

Large paved area to park two large cars in parallel. It had electricity and water.

We had a great time. The campsite was perfect. The visitors center was very helpful, with up to date road and trail info.

Furnace Creek is a very clean, well maintained campground centrally located to nearby attractions. There is a visitor center with free wifi access. The visitor center has lots of interesting information about Death Valley. As with most parks, dogs are not allowed on trails which makes it a challenge for those of us who travel with our pets and like to get out and explore. We were here in December so the weather was in the 60's during the day and low 40's at night which was comfortable. We had a full hookup site. We had good Verizon cell and wifi access and AT&T wifi the first night. Access was spotty the next day and non-existent the next two days. The ranger said others reported the same thing but he didn't know what the cause was. I would stay here again.

We went in early November 2023, soon after park was opened after Hurricane Hillary flooding in August. Many roads still closed but roads south to lowest point and Dantes overview were open. Those plus visitor center are main must sees in park. Weather was slightly warm and windy. Make sure you have fuel before entering as sole station is very expensive.

The campground was well kept and other campers were quiet. My only complaint was that there was no light in the womens restroom , which made navigating it a bit challenging in the middle of the night. We visited the saloon at Furnace Creek Ranch and it was so much fun! The General Store at the Ranch also has some very good coffee and a great selection of clothing and souvenirs.

This is an excellent campground. We stayed four nights in January when the temperature was in the high 60s to low 70s. The sites are large and far enough apart to provide above average campground separation between guests.

The Harmony Borax Works is an easy hike out and back. Badwater and the Devil's Golf Course are a short drive south and are not to be missed.

Come to Death Valley with as full a tank of gas as manageable. There is only one station nearby and the price is the highest we've ever seen in CA.

Centrally located and very well maintained.

Awesome place. Nice services, great base camp local.
@AlexisW396 · Camped on Nov 2, 2021 at Campsite #47
We had a late arrival. Everything was listed on clearly at the stand for us to make our way to the site. Upon checking in the next morning the staff were kind and helpful in providing the necessary placards and information.
