Great campground pretty close to the restrooms. The site sits a little higher than some of the other surrounding sites which pooled with a lot of water.

Had a great time at the Furnace Creek campground. Good facilities there and convenient to many of the popular attractions.

A great place to visit during late March. Nice and clean facilities.

The bathrooms were clean, the hosts were polite. It was strange having a huge RV next to my tent. It would be nice to have trash dumpsters near the restrooms.

The campground was nice enough, given the location. It's the extreme desert, so you're camping in the dirt. I was in a tents-only walkup site and the stars were amazing! Bathrooms were kept clean and the lights shut off after a certain amount of inactivity for better star gazing. Bring an infrared light! Biggest complaint were the large groups of bicycle riders using regular sites when they should have been assigned to a group site. I counted six tents in one site, which made it difficult to access my own without walking through their camp.

It took a lake forming to attract me to this park and wow did I underestimate. There is so much to do in this park that Ive got to go back. The campsite had all the necessary ammenities. Just wish there were closer charging options for EV. Even a slow charge option for overnight charging would be perfect.

Furnace Creek is a lovely campground where many campsites have larger vegetation that can provide welcome shade for tent campers. The campground is located near many of the most popular sights in Death Valley. If you have time, I would recommend checking out the Wildrose campground which is at the higher elevations. It is a beautiful, but small campground and it's best to arrive earlier in the day to secure a first come first serve site.

Great campground for stargazing around the campfire while still fairly centrally located in Death Valley NP. Highly recommend as a base camp for your Death Valley adventures!

Great campsite and we really liked the dishwashing facilities. We explored Death Valley with the self-guided Star Wars tour on the NPS app to learn about the sets used for the films.

Furnace Creek was an amazing experience. From the Rangers at front gate to the camp hosts all were pleasant and enjoyable to talk with very knowlegable. Was very thankful for what trees and shrubs were around our campsite. They offered some protection from the 35-40mph winds we endured for 2 nights. Already planning for my next Winter/Spring trip can't wait...

Furnace Creek campground area was absolutely beautiful. The facilities were clean well-managed well situated. The supporting facilities like the general store of the saloon the gas station all of these places offer just the right amount of amenities making a campsite stay there very enjoyable.

This campgrounds main flaw is that the tent sites are set up in a way that force people to walk through each others sites. If you want your site to yourself, this may not be the campground for you. Aside from this, the campground is good.

Great campground with lots of shade from the pine trees. Our site had a beautiful view of the mountains and was convieniently located.
