Make sure everything is safe from the wind.
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
This campground is your standard, no frills campground but great location within the park. I would say it's best for the traveler who is looking to be out adventuring more than hanging at the camp spot.
Close to general store and saloon, which is a plus! Like most campgrounds in the park, these sites fill quickly.
Try to fill up on gas before you get here because it might be more expensive inside the park (it's a HUGE park). The campsites are a bit close to each other and it's right next to the RVs so it's not as peaceful. However, you'll want to explore the park more than stay on site.
There's a small (but pricey) convenience store at the hotel down the road- and make sure you get firewood before you get into the park!
Flushable toilets but no cooling system. In a place like death valley, a closed up bathroom makes it feel like a heat box when you're in there. Close to a ranger station, general store, and eatery.
Great access to Badwater Basin and Devil's Golfcourse. Spring for a luxury and pay a small fee to have daily access to the pool area of the hotel next door to campground!
There aren't a ton of developed campgrounds in Death Valley, but this seems to be the go to one! Has recently been renovated, so the roads are all paved nicely and the campsites are very well maintained and manicured. I only have experience in the standard drive-in tent sites, however there are numerous hike-in only sites available too. In my opinion the best sites for tent camping are on the farthest loop at sites 100-110. These seem to have the most shade and vegetation. The campsites are very close together so there's not a ton of privacy, but it's never been a problem for me. The bathrooms are solid and are usually pretty clean. Also you can walk to the park visitor center or even the gas station/store from here if you need supplies.
