Campground  Reservations:
Reservations for the Furnace Creek Campground and group sites are now available by calling 1-877-444-6777 or by going online at  http://www.recreation.gov.

All other National Park campgrounds are first-come-first-served.

Generator hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., unless otherwise posted.  These hours are chosen to accommodate the needs of the wide variety of people who use Death Valley's campgrounds. Generators are prohibited in Texas Spring Campground.


  

Campsites are limited to no more than eight people and two vehicles or one recreational vehicle per site. Larger groups wishing to camp together can reserve the group sites at the Furnace Creek Campground. The two group sites are limited to a maximum of 40 people and 10 vehicles each.  No recreational vehicles may be parked at the group sites.

Pets: There is a maximum limit of 4 pets per campsite and pets must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet at all times.

Pet feces in campgrounds, campsites, lawns, walkways, access roads, and around public buildings must be disposed of in a trash bin by the person responsible for the pet.            

Campfires: All vegetation in the park is protected. Firewood and charcoal are available at the Furnace Creek General Store, or you can bring your own supply.  Fire pits or grates are provided at Furnace Creek, Texas Spring, and most of our other campgrounds. See the campground table above for specifics.

RVs: The National Park Service campgrounds do not provide hookups for recreational vehicles. RV hookups are only available at the concession-run Stovepipe Wells RV Park and the privately owned Panamint Springs resort.  

Camping Limits: Furnace Creek Campground has a limit of 14 days per calendar year. The rest of Death Valley National Park has a 30-day per calendar year camping limit.   

                                                  
Evaporation Measurement Tank at Furnace Creek  

Did You Know?
The average evaporation rate in the bottom of Death Valley is 150 inches a year. Since the average rainfall is less than 2 inches ... the two don't quite meet.
