Summary
Reservations are recommended October–April; first-come, first-served the rest of the year. Fees range from $22–$36/night. Set in a dramatic desert landscape beneath rugged mountains, the campground provides easy access to top attractions like Zabriskie Point, Badwater Basin, and Golden Canyon. The vibe is stark yet stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. Best time to visit is fall through spring, as summer temperatures are extreme. Dispersed camping is allowed elsewhere in the park with restrictions.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
