If you don't want to spend $200 a night to stay at Furnace Creek, you can stay in this decent motel about 30-45 minutes further into the park. They have "standard" rooms, which are smallish and have two single beds, and "deluxe" rooms, which are bigger and have a queen or a king bed, a dining table, a TV, and a refigerator.

There's a restaurant on-site (the only one for miles around) that serves good food at reasonable prices. There's also a pool. The place isn't rated by AAA because they use actual keys for door locks instead of magnetic cards.

We had a cool, clean, comfortable room. Water from the tap is non-potable, but there are potable water faucets in the outside corridor. Across the street from the Stovepipe Wells Ranger Station, and the Stovepipe Wells Village Store, which sells food, cold drinks, souvenirs, and gasoline. Attached is a restaurant that serves moderately priced meals. I had a great dinner the night we stayed, liver and onions (okay, you have to like liver to think it is great) and a delicious key lime cheesecake.

There is also a pool. Behind the village store, there is a camping ground that includes camper hook-ups.

Texas Springs

Texas Springs campsite is off Hwy 190 in Death Valley State Park, near Furnace Creek. It has 92 tent and RV sites and costs $12 a night. We went in late February, a popular time to go because it's not as hot as summer time -- high 80s and 90s vs. 100s, but surprisingly the campground had several sites to choose from that year. The campgrounds have very few shade areas, but we found a site with a small tree/large bush. It was enough shade for a couple of people to sit under, which we took advantage of when first arriving, as we weren't acclimated to the heat. The ground was hard, making it a little difficult to stake our tents, but after some pounding the stakes went in securely. The sites were large enough. Our group of 7 found spots for three tents, one being a gigantic three-room tent. Be wary of the more low-lying flat spots, though. While they might seem ideal, we heard from a group who has made the trek that very weekend for the last 15 years that it often rains during late Feb./early March and after trial and error, they finally found a campsite that doesn't flood. Thankfully it was dry the one night we were there. It was windy, however, and that three-room tent flapped incessantly all night.

With flush toilets, running water, a fire pit, and picnic benches available, this campsite was pure camping luxurious.
