Texas Springs Campground

We camped gere for seven days. The campground attendants are friendly and helpful and the camsites are clean and in good condition. The bathrooms are on the older side and dark.

$16 a night for dry camping with a fire pit, picnic table, and bathrooms with flush toilets. There are no showers. We arrived Sunday afternoon in late October, and most spots were empty. Make sure to walk up the hill behind the campground for a great view in all directions. Yes it is basically a gravel parking lot with no trees, but it looked better than Sunset campground across the street. It's a bit further back and higher elevation than the road, so you have a bit of a view. No cell service with T-Mobile. Full bars but very slow service with Verizon, barely enough to use Google maps. Verizon also got service at Stovepipe Wells gas station, but otherwise a lot of the park is a dead zone.

Great Death Valley campground! It costs $16/night (verses $14 at Sunset which is just a gravel parking lot). There are several bushes and interesting rock formations all around the site. Bathrooms with running water, and there is a big dish washing area (6 stations) near each bathroom. Camp hosts are very friendly volunteers, and it's close enough to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center to have fairly good cell reception. Only warning is the wind! From 1am until dawn the wind would kick up to about 50mph for a few minutes, then calm down to 1mph for a 5-10 minutes...that cycle was all night! Bring a tent that is good in wind, stake it down tight, and maybe put it close to your car to help act as a windshield.

Just like everyone mentioned, the sites are super close together so if you get stuck with rude neighbors like we did, you might not get any rest. The restrooms were clean and had flush toilets so we were very comfortable. They also have a dish washing station and potable water. It is super windy here so just be prepared if you’re tent camping. We saw a lot of people’s things fly away. There’s scorpions as well so just keep that in mind!

It’s really a parking lot with adequate restrooms, no showers, and a no generators rule. There are 50ish campsites lined out on the hardpan. First come so get there early since it fills up fast especially after noon. The fire rings are on the edge of the the sites so watch where you set up or your neighbor’s fire might be in your lap. The maintenance of the restrooms and the rest of the campground is excellent. We stayed for nearly a week and enjoyed the central location.
