Death Valley Lodging

Death Valley National Park has three concessioner-operated lodges inside park boundaries, all operated by Xanterra. The Furnace Creek Inn and Furnace Creek Ranch are obviously in the Furnace Creek area, and are certainly the closest to the most commonly visited areas of the park. Stovepipe Wells Village is along CA-190 in a more central location in the park. Reservations are generally needed in advance, as with most national park lodges. The enormous size of the park makes staying inside it much more valuable than most other parks.

Outside the park lodging options for Death Valley are few. The park is in a very remote area, and is huge. It is more than a million acres larger than Yellowstone, the next largest park outside of Alaska. Searching for the towns of Lone Pine in California and Beatty in Nevada are the best options, but be aware that these are still long drives, and CA-190 just within the park is 82 miles long. Of course, the high speed limits of the region can make these distances easy to cover in a short time. There are long sections inside the park that have speed limits of 65MPH, the highest in any national park.

We offer two methods of finding lodging in the area. The first is via Travelocity. This will give you a good pricing comparison, and a number of property options.
