Death Valley National Park has opened the Sunset Campground for the fall and winter. Ten of the park’s 12 campgrounds are now open. Increasing numbers of campers are arriving in Death Valley as temperatures cool down.

Texas Springs Campground and Stovepipe Wells Campground will remain closed until sufficient temporary National Park Service employees can be hired to keep them maintained. They will likely reopen sometime in November.

Campground fees in the park vary. Emigrant, Wildrose, Thorndike, Mahogany Flat, Homestake, Saline Valley Warm Springs, and Eureka Dunes Campgrounds are free. Regular sites at Mesquite Spring, Stovepipe Wells, Texas Springs, Sunset, and Furnace Creek Campground range from $14 to $22 per night. RV hookup sites at Furnace Creek Campground cost $36. Senior Pass holders get a discount.

All campgrounds are first-come, first-served, except Furnace Creek Campground. Reservations at Furnace Creek can be made four days to six months in advance at recreation.gov or 877-444-6777.
