Washrooms (toilets) are filthy and smelly, maintenance is sub-par

Nice, open and level space. I'm often leery of getting a site so close to restrooms as people tend to walk through campsites as shortcuts, but this was never an issue during my stay. Tent stakes were a bit difficult to drive into the ground, however there may have been better spots to pitch the tent. I can't really complain, either, because once the stakes were in, they stayed (it was dark and quite windy when we arrived, so the decision was to get the tent up asap instead of finding the ideal placement).

Campsite was clean, quiet, well maintained and pleasant. Just what we wanted and expected

We stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed our campsite. Quiet, clean, close bathrooms (flush) and easy all to visitors center. We would definitely stay again during the cooler months.

Clean, quiet, spacious site #23. After hour check in was efficient. Easy to find site upon arrival. Clean bathroom. Nice staff.

We camped in site #23 (no hookup) with our tent trailer for a couple nights. The site was fine. There isn't much privacy at Furnace Creek but the way this site was situated we didn't feel like people were right on top of us. They could definitely add some amenities to Furnace Creek to make it better. They could add some showers. They'll tell you that you can shower (for a fee) at the resort next door but we found that they weren't allowing non-guests to use their facilities when we were there. We could rent a room/cabin but otherwise no go. They could also add a soap dispenser and a hand dryer to the bathroom. In this day and age not providing a way to wash up after using the bathroom is ridiculous. Also, the motion light in the men's bathroom didn't work so you had to make sure you brought adequate lighting if you had to make a midnight run. A bonus is the community wash sinks located throughout the park. We opted to do dishes here after meals. It was very convenient since we were dry camping. The campground is centrally located. That makes it convenient.

Well maintained campground with very helpful staff. Great location.

Great campsite that gave us close access to many of the main attractions on the east side of the park. We even heard a pack of coyotes not too far away in the early morning hours. Bathrooms were super clean and great dishwashing spot. The sites are all pretty close together but the mesquite trees were a welcomed sight compared to many of the other campgrounds that didn’t have trees. Firewood was sold out everywhere so we had to drive to Parumph for some. Good idea to call ahead to see if the general store has any.

Camp sites are close to each other and very limit shade. Restrooms were adequate. Good location for accessing trails and site seeing but not a place to hang around and enjoy the camping.

We appreciated the central location to other FC offerings and the bike path

The reservation process was easy. The campground is clean and I love the fact that, being a Dark Sky Park, all the out buildings are on motion sensors, rather than being on all night!

A lot of very nice friendly people at the campground. Water available and restrooms were clean. Prices in the grocery store are ridiculous. $24 for a six pack of beer. I’ve been to really remote parks and I’ve never seen price gouging like the store. Remember we are still in a pandemic and companies are not supposed to take advantage. Anyway that’s my 2 cents ($24) on that.
