Shoshone RV Park
Overview
Overview
Shoshone RV Park serves as a quiet, desert oasis for travelers exploring the rugged beauty of the Eastern Mojave. As a family-owned destination, it offers a straightforward and welcoming atmosphere that contrasts with the intense isolation of the surrounding landscape. The park is designed for those who appreciate the stillness of the desert and seek a comfortable place to settle in after a day of traversing the scenic corridors of southeastern California.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the tiny community of Shoshone, the park acts as an ideal gateway to the southern entrance of Death Valley National Park. The location is characterized by its vast desert horizons and high-desert climate, providing travelers with a convenient base for regional exploration. Visitors often appreciate the park's proximity to the Amargosa River, which brings a rare touch of greenery to the arid, sun-baked terrain of the Mojave Desert region.
Amenities & Park Features
The park provides the essential infrastructure needed for a comfortable stay in a remote setting. Guests have access to full hookup sites, which are highly valued given the local climate and limited nearby services. The facility maintains clean, functional bathhouses and designated pet-friendly areas, ensuring that both RVers and their companions remain comfortable. The layout is designed for accessibility, accommodating various vehicle sizes while maintaining a peaceful, uncrowded environment for all residents.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure seekers will find the park perfectly positioned for visits to Death Valley National Park, where iconic landmarks and hiking trails are within easy driving distance. Beyond the national park, the area is rich with history, including nearby ghost towns and geological wonders that define the Mojave experience. Visitors can enjoy birdwatching along the river or simply spend the evening stargazing, as the lack of light pollution provides some of the clearest night skies in the state.
Who This Park Is Best For
Shoshone RV Park is best suited for nature enthusiasts and photographers who prioritize proximity to wilderness over luxury resort amenities. It is a favored stop for those touring the national park system who want a reliable, quiet place to recharge away from the crowded tourist centers. If you value a authentic desert experience and a community-oriented atmosphere, this park offers a unique and memorable base for your next California road trip.

This is a beautiful quiet zone to get away from city life. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect, although the heat was high, the breeze was refreshing. There is a small pond that hold endangered Pupfish. The pool was cLosed for upgrades when we stayed, but that's ok. We were able to listen to the birds and see the stars at night. It's about 50 minutes from Catheral Monument, 50 minutes from Devils Hole.

Flys…. Flys & more flys! Was difficult to stay here with dogs as sites close to each other & main roads circle around the whole property . Warm pool is still closed. Don’t think we will stay here again. Pay attention to the wind advisory as there is little protection & flys are not discouraged.

Pros: Great location for visiting Death Valley NP. Nice trails for bird watching and enjoying the desert begin right from the RV Park. Amber was super helpful at check in and made that process easy. Full hook ups. Cons: Chose this RV park above others for the natural spring pool on premises. They don’t tell you it’s under renovation until after you make the reservation. So be sure to ask when you make your reservation. No offer of even 5% off (which would go a long way toward good will) Looks like it will be nice when they are done, tho. Bathroom shower facility left something to be desired. Only one shower stall for women for entire park, and not very clean at that. Probably had more to do with the large number of college students filling the tent spaces while here for their class field work…situation might be better at other times of season.

Right on the highway and in and out of death Valley it’s just oasis of an RV park. Just 25 miles out of Pahrump where you can find them all the major shopping and etc.. It’s certainly not fancy as it’s all gravel, but it does offer full hook up, which is a real necessity for most Travelers. The cider kind of random but most often fair amount of privacy. Fed my underwater springs is a puffer fish pond that provides a stream throughout the facility. The staff was friendly and helpful.

So we booked this for the location. We wanted a full hookup RV spot outside DV. Check. Pool isn't open. (No reduced rates either!) No fire pits at campsites, and apparently they won't even allow a self contained propane fire pit either. Older woman working there was very combative. She was enough I wanted to leave and go dry camp in the desert down the street. I wouldn't come back here. We should have stayed in Tecopa or up at Longstreet.
