We were happy to get off the road and out of the crazy spring winds and snag a spot with hook-ups at Stovepipe Wells. The RV area consists of 14 FHU spaces lined up behind the Stovepipe Wells General Store. All sites are pull-throughs, no picnic tables, some fire rings. The sites have a definite downward slope, so getting level was a bit harder than it should have been. The surrounding hills are lovely, at least when the views aren’t obscured by wind-blown dust and sand!

You register across the street at the lodge where you are given a key card for the showers and pool area. The lodge also has a restaurant, small business office with free wifi, and a gift shop. The General Store has some food, gas and more gift store merchandise. We were told only one night was available because all the sites were reserved, we could have moved in the morning to the adjacent lot without hookups, but opted to try for Furnace Creek Campground 24 miles away instead.

FYI, right next to the RV campground is the NPS campground, another larger parking lot. It’s less expensive, but without any hookups. The Mesquite Flats sand dunes - a must see - are just one mile down the road.

We had 5 bars of Verizon 3G.

Used our Senior pass. First come First served. 50/30amp, h2o, and sewer. First night lost power due to dust storm for 4 hours. There are 14 full hook ups plus dry camping.
