Within the park

 • Panamint Springs Resort. Located outside of the park, this resort is the most economical lodging option. The rooms are small and very out dated. Rates range from $65 to $139. 760-764-2002 x234
 • Stovepipe Wells Village. Motel-style lodging in Stovepipe Wells. The rooms are not fancy, and the running water in some rooms is not potable, but it is a perfectly comfortable and convenient place to stay. Rates tend to be cheaper than at Furnace Creek. Beware of the restaurant at Stovepipe Wells, though; it tends to be wannabe fancy and overpriced. Call early for reservations at the lodge. 760-786-2387

Being farther away from the more popular areas of the park induces a quieter setting as well. Wildrose is a free campground.

Backcountry
Backcountry camping is allowed 2 miles away from any developed area, paved road, or "day use only" area. Due to the rough dirt roads, backcountry roadside camping is generally only accessible to visitors with high clearance or 4-wheel drive vehicles.
