Stovepipe Wells Overview

Death Valley National Park’s Stovepipe Wells is a large, first-come first-serve campground with 190 campsites primarily for RVs and trailers, but campers can also pitch a tent. There are also about 14 sites with electric hookups. This is basically a large, flat parking lot type of set up. There are some tables and fire pits, but not every campsite has them.

Amenities includes drinking water, flush toilets and an RV sanitation station (dump station). There is also a convenience store/gift shop, motel, cabins and a restaurant/bar across the highway. Cell service is fair in the area.
