Campground Overview

About Sunset Campground

Sunset Campground offers a stark, no-frills desert experience in the heart of Death Valley National Park. This expansive gravel lot provides basic accommodations for RVs and tent campers seeking a centrally-located base to explore the park's iconic landscapes.

The campground's barren setting mirrors the surrounding desert, with little vegetation and wide-open views of the Panamint Range. Sites are unmarked and closely spaced, offering minimal privacy but easy access for larger vehicles. Despite its utilitarian nature, Sunset Campground serves as a convenient stopover for travelers passing through or a functional home base for multi-day Death Valley adventures.

Located near Furnace Creek, the campground sits at the crossroads of Death Valley's most popular attractions. Within a short drive, visitors can experience the otherworldly salt flats of Badwater Basin, the colorful mineral deposits of Artist's Palette, and the golden badlands of Zabriskie Point. The nearby Furnace Creek area provides essential services and amenities for extended stays in this remote desert environment.
