The location is great, walking distance to the visitor center and central in the park. The sites were nice and some had trees but Id bring something for shade anyways. Bathrooms were clean. Be ready for wind and stake everything down and bring heavy duty stakes to get through the rocky ground.

Great trip. Some RVs had bright lights and generators running (one was also watching a movie loudly late at night, which we could hear from our tent). Not too bad, but it did intrude on the quietness and dark night sky a little bit.

People with RVs need to turn their lights off at night.

Very clean. They monitor the site reservations so if there is a site available with an old reserved sign on it it gets removed every night. Loved my spot with nothing but trees and a golf course behind me. One small negative was the sites that you back into are a pretty tight squeeze to back into if someone opposite you is using all of his space. I had a guy hit my truck trying to back out.

Furnace Creek was a good location for exploring various areas in the Park. The campsites were roomy enough, the campground was clean, and the bathrooms were in good order. This campground is multi purpose, for use by RV (big & small) and tent camping, and it is pretty large, so there is traffic coming and going. But the vibe was good, and people were considerate and friendly. We took some great hikes (Golden Canyon and Mosaic Canyon being highlights). A long drive from Sonoma County, but a good adventure and a special place.

Campsite is very close to each other and not really private. Other tha that, it is okay.

Great place to car camp! Wish there was recycling available for plastic bottles and aluminum

This was my first time camping in a developed site in Death Valley during peak season. We opted for a campsite reservation since the trip coincided with a new moon and a first come first serve would be hard to come by. Our stay was pleasant, but for several neighbors who kept their generators going way past quiet hours. One of them had high powered floodlights on all night. Our stay would most certainly have been stars if there were more ranger activity regulating that particular rule. The restrooms also felt more spaced out than at most campsites, but they were well lit, clean and flushable. The campsites were also well graded and they weren't uncomfortably rocky. The industrial size sinks near the bathroom were a great help when it came to cleaning up after dinner. This is a family friendly site for sure.
