This campground is wonderful! The campground host was extremely helpful!There are restrooms, sinks to wash your dishes, water and dump stations, and close to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center and most popular Death Valley hikes!

While Sunset Campground is essentially a big, open parking lot with lines, I have always enjoyed my stays here. This most recent trip we were in a camper van and we had a great stay. It is very conveniently located in Furnace Creek, letting you get to many of the popular locations in Death Valley quite easily. There are several restroom buildings in this campground that were always super clean and tidy. It was typically easy to either find a spot near one if you like to close to the restrooms, or distance yourself if prefer not to be near the restroom building. There are also dishwashing stations, always a nice feature when it is time to clean-up after cooking at camp. This campground doesn't have much shelter from the wind if it is a windy day, but if you are vehicle camping that isn't a big issue. This is not the greatest campground for tents due to the parking lot atmosphere and hard ground, but can make due in a pinch. A short walk gets you to the Death Valley National Park Visitor Center or to the shops and restaurants at the Ranch. We stayed 4 nights on this trip and thought it made a great base of operations for our Death Valley trip.

Basically a big parking lot where you can tent or RV camp. The staff are super helpful and friendly (Dawn was so great!). There is a restroom and wash sink area as well as a community fire pit. You can get a camping pass at the little kiosk there. Super easy and good location as it's fairly central to everything.

No reservations needed, beautiful scenery, great location near store/ restaurant/ visitor center ! Tent, RV, car camping all welcome. There are no hook ups. Bathrooms and running water are spread out throughout the campground. (You pay $18 at a kiosk at the back)

This is really just a large gravel parking lot with lines painted to indicate individual campsites. I was traveling with my brother (2 vehicles) and neither of us were tent camping, so the accommodations were fine. Price for site was very fair, and no extra for a 2nd vehicle.

It is a parking lot. Dry camping. 18$ per night. Camp host are very nice. The view is super. However, the road from LA is rough for the transmission and brakes.

just a parking lot but it has toilets. is close to the road but not too loud and there was plenty of space between people and we tent camped. pretty cheap at $18/night and very talkative camp host. amazing views and campground below sea level, I'll never forget staying here!

This is a sardine camp with plenty of sites for the holiday visitors. $14 per night for up to 30 nights! Decent restrooms. The nearby Texas Springs camp is better for tents, and generators are prohibited there. Both camps are first come. There is a free dump and fill station.
