There are some really beautiful camping spots in this campground but it's hard to tell which ones benefit from the afternoon shade. Pick carefully! In general, the sites with trees on the southern and western areas of the campground seem to have better shade. The visitor center is excellent and worth spending time in to get oriented with all the possible explorations in the park.

Site #59 was excellent, though there really isn't enough space for two vehicles. This is our fourth year camping at Furnace Creek, and ever year has been better than the last. The camp docents are very helpful, the people are nice, and the facilities are very good. The proximity to the Visitor's Center, the availability of potable water at the campground and the proximity to many of the best attractions of the park make this a must winter camping experience. We regularly visit Zabriski Point, Golden Canyon, Natural Bridge, Artist's Pallet, Devil's Racetrack, Badwater Basin, and our favorite, Dante's View. If you drive back to Stovepipe Wells (gas is much cheaper), the Mesquite Sand Dunes are fun, the gift shop at the gas station is great and our favorite restaurant is there--the Whitney Toll House. Just up the road is the road to Wildrose Charcoal Kiln/Telescope Peak (closed Dec 2023); well worth the trip up, amazing view of the High Sierra across the 'street' (395). So, what are the cons? Cell service is a little iffy, it's very remote, and can get very cold overnight in the winter (20 degrees a few years ago) and there is a lot of driving to and from places, even the close attractions. If you go with family--and some members don't like it--it could be miserable. Sometimes they sell out of firewood, especially when it is very cold. All in all, another excellent experience with the entire family. Look forward to returning in 2024.

This is dang near the lowest elevation spot you can camp in North America. What's not to like about it. Plus you're not too far from Mesquite Sand Dunes for sunset or sunrise

Our spot was good. That there are showers and a pool you can buy ($14) at Furnace Ranch was great. The only down side was a noisy generator that was running almost all day. Generator hour should be limited. 12 hours is too long.

Camp site was good, sinks for washing dishes are nice, restrooms could use a trashcan and more frequent cleaning.
@DavidM981 · Camped on Mar 28, 2021 at Campsite #59
Very nice site, however, very hot if site does not have trees.
