Panamint Springs Resort

What sets Panamint Springs Resort Campground apart is its dramatic views of Death Valley’s rugged Panamint Valley, its rustic charm, and its convenient location within the national park’s western edge. This campground blends the raw beauty of the desert with essential amenities, offering a memorable base camp for outdoor enthusiasts seeking stargazing and exploration.

The campground features 66 sites, including full-hookup RV spots, basic tent areas, and unique glamping-style setups. On-site amenities include restrooms with hot showers, a general store, a restaurant and bar, and fire pits at most sites. The campground’s remote location ensures dark skies perfect for stargazing, while its proximity to attractions like Darwin Falls—a rare desert waterfall just minutes away—enhances its appeal for hiking and photography. The nearby Panamint Mountains and sand dunes provide additional opportunities for exploration and adventure.

Situated on Highway 190, just 10 miles from Death Valley’s western entrance, the campground is within 30 minutes of notable destinations like Stovepipe Wells and historic sites such as Ballarat’s ghost town. Panamint Springs Resort offers a tranquil alternative to more crowded areas of the park, combining the solitude of the desert with easy access to natural wonders.
