Texas Springs Campground — Hotel in Beatty

There is no usable cellular service on Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile. You can get text messages and calls, but no data of any significance. Starlink works well. Verizon and T-Mobile was via a roof mounted Pepwave antenna. AT&T via phone.

We arrived on a Monday afternoon and there were plenty of available spots. It was probably 75% full and cleared out more during the week. This is a good NPS campground with a much better vibe than the parking lot of Sunset Campground down the street. As others noted, there is little vegetation and thus little privacy but it's no worse than most commercial RV parks. The view of the valley is excellent depending on the site.

They list a 25 foot trailer length limit online but that's not posted in the campground and it's way too low like it usually is for NPS campgrounds. We maneuvered our rig into a pull through site without any issues fitting both the trailer and truck with room to spare. You could fit a larger trailer in many sites without issues. One or two turns might be tight, but that's about the only reason I can come up with for the 25 foot limit. Your mileage may vary.

The site was gravel and largely level side to side. Potable water spigots are available at various points, and at the dump station on the entry road. Dishwashing stations are available. Propane fill is available at the gas station in Furnace Creek, but they probably charge an outrageous amount for it. Diesel was $8 a gallon when it was $4.22 a gallon an hour away in Nevada. Laundry is available at the ranch. The best option for groceries is in Pahrump, Nevada.

Most high elevation activities in the park were closed due to a winter storm. Many of the low elevation activities were still closed because of the 2022 flooding, but a good chunk...

Centrally located campground within hiking distance of Furnace Springs. We arrived at approximately 2:15 pm on a Wednesday and the lower loop was 98% full. We picked a site near other tent campers in the upper loop. As others mentioned, ground is SUPER HARD pack. Bring heavy stakes and a good hammer. I'm glad we did. There was hurricane force winds that hit 50mph that night according to the ranger. Pretty sure no one in the campground slept that night. Between the howling winds and blowing sand, I heard plenty of folk scrambling to hammer stakes in or chase tents. Dumpster was full of trashed tents the next day. Camp host knew it was coming and came by to inspect our set up. Gave us the thumbs up and moved on. That was appreciated. Most of the roof top tenters moved inside their vehicles and folded up their tents. The pay machine for the sites only takes a card and takes a while to connect to whatever system it uses but works eventually. There is NO AT&T cell service there or at Furnace Springs. FC has free wifi however. The rest of the park is a cell dead zone as it should be. No showers. Potable (drinking) water available at the site. Bathrooms and sinks available. Dumpsters Centrally located. Fire pits available at every site. Dogs on leashes allowed. There are coyotes that roam very close...

We spent one night here, from Saturday to Sunday mid March. Temps were already cracking up 80s during the day and 60s at night. We arrived around 3pm, and by 5pm it was full! Initially we were trying for Furnace Creek (w/o reservation) and they were full. Texas Springs has two levels - tents only & RVs. I would HIGHLY recommend to park in the corner somewhere and away from the bathrooms. There always ppl who are completely inconsiderate of others and will be talking all night; slamming bathroom doors and so on. Bathrooms are flushable and had many rolls of tp. There are also stations with drinkable water! You got your fire ring & picnic table. It is surrounded by hills that you can hike! If you need a touch of civilization, there is an Oasis Ranch 5 min away (restaurant, bar, museum, general store). Great...
