DVNP Campground Reservations: Reservations for the Furnace Creek Campground are available for the camping season of October 15 to April 15 by calling 1-877-444-6777 or by going online at recreation.gov. Reservations must be made at least 4 days in advance, but can be made up to 6 months in advance. All unreserved walk-in sites are open first come/first served for a period of . Furnace  night up to 4 nights depending on the next incoming reservation. These opportunities are available in person at the kiosk only. All other National Park campgrounds are first come/first served year around (no reservations), however the National Park Service reserves the right to reserve sites for management needs for all campgrounds. 

The Furnace Creek Campground has only 18 sites with full hookups. These are 50amp hookups and water. There are multiple dump stations located within the Furnace Creek area. It is very rare to have the opportunity to stay in on of these sites without reservations. In the case where a hookup site is not reserved, it is open for a very brief period before the next incoming reservation arrives. For more information on camping in Death Valley National Park please see the DVNP website.
