One of the most centrally located campgrounds in Death Valley, Furnace Creek is seated in a cradle of astonishing ruggedness, surrounded by the weatherbeaten stretches of Death Valley mountains. If you’ve ever wondered what an abandoned borax mine looks like, you can find one nearby, as well as bike paths, hiking trails and a visitor’s center. This site features a dump station, fire pits, flush toilets, picnic tables, water and 136 camping spots to choose from. Furnace Creek is 196 feet below sea level and has an all year camping season that can vary wildly in temperature, so check the weather pre-trip and remember you’re in the desert - layers required!

Beautiful spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. Great for star gazing too. Bar is located in a small quiet town named Crystal, NV. The closest town for gas and food is Pahrump which is about 20 minutes away. My place is perfect if you want to get away from the city for a little bit, or if you are traveling the country in your RV, trailer, or tent. My place is very unique if you are looking for a different place to stay other than an RV park. Good vibes only. :) Learn more about this land: I am located one hour away from Death Valley National Park and twenty minutes from Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge and Devil's Hole. And an hour to Las Vegas and Pahrump about twenty minutes away.  Google Maps and GPS will sometimes get you lost. Please message me for better directions after booking.

Amargosa Valley is the adventure town of Nevada. Sitting between Las Vegas and Death Valley, this property is just minutes away from one of the most popular sand dunes in the southwest. The sky opens up at night to treat campers to a vivid view of the starry night sky. With easy drive-up access, this parcel can be accessed by nearly any vehicle however a 4-wheel drive is recommended due to soft sand in some areas.

Learn more about this land: This is a groovy little spot where the power lines meet. Located a block away from Treasure RV Park on Highway 160 just north of Pahrump, NV. You can visit Treasures just across the streetMark’s restaurant AAA+ food, gambling, and the bowling alley right across the street, and still return easily to this private lot. Treasures is a great little oasis to visit, and a short walk back to camp and have more privacy then staying directly on treasures site and avoiding vehicle age requirements.There are cactus ,sage, river rock and an old desert tortoise you might spot named Mort on the property. It’s a small plot of land but it will fit up to you a 45 foot bus or a truck and longer trailer. I have parked my 40’ school bus conversion there from time to time.the property is right outside of Pahrump in a convenient location with beautiful Mountain View’s. Treasures RV park is right across the street and makes for a perfect desert oasis near death Valley.

Furnace creek is a great oasis in the desert. Be sure your site is large enough so all your Rv and other vehicle tires are on concrete. This rule is strictly enforced. Lots to see and do in the park and it was nice to enjoy warm temps in February

You'll most likely need a reservation for this site. Bathrooms were nice and there are some shady spots you can snag if you're lucky. A ton of RVs are around you with their generators going but it's nothing horrible
