Death Valley National Park's campgrounds are opening on a staggered schedule this fall due to repairs needed at some and until seasonal staff can report for the winter.

Currently Open:

  • Furnace Creek Campground (154 sites)
  • Stovepipe Wells Campground (190 sites)
  • Emigrant Campground (10 sites)
  • Wildrose Campground (23 sites)
  • Thorndike Campground (6 sites) until closed by snow.
  • Mahogany Flat Campground (10 sites) until closed by snow.

Delayed Opening:

  • Mesquite Spring Campground (40 sites) is temporarily closed due to damage from two storms. A microburst wind event heavily damaged the roof of one of the restrooms. Flash flooding damaged the access road.
  • Texas Springs Campground (92 sites) will be closed until enough maintenance workers are on staff.
  • Sunset Campground (270 sites) temporarily open November 3-13, then closed again until enough maintenance workers are on staff.

The park should have adequate space for camping most of this fall, except for Veterans Day weekend, Thanksgiving, and the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s. Campgrounds are also available from private companies at the Oasis at Death Valley, Stovepipe Wells, and Panamint Springs and in nearby communities, including Shoshone, Pahrump, Beatty, and Lone Pine.
