The campground hosts were very nice! They know DV well and gave ideas for places to visit too including stopping to see the Pup fish, which we probably might have otherwise missed!

The campground itself had lots of ravens swooping about. We watched them attack a fellow campers table when they walked away for only a few minutes. Very annoying and they are protected animals in the NP. The RV parking is a gravel parking lot with sites very close and didn't seem to have hook-ups. Camping sites are very open so it's not a very private camping experience. There are picnic tables with each tent site and you'll be setting up on the sand (as it's near to the Sand Dunes), so a bit tricky to secure a tent. We used some rocks to help with that. There is also the option of walking to sites a bit back further in the sandy areas too, but there wasn't much privacy there either. We were glad to be there when it was basically empty of fellow campers, because it would have been too much if the place was busy.

There is a General store and gas station at the entrance, and it's pricey, but it will meet your needs for items forgotten and snacks. Lots of souvenirs of Stovepipe too if you're interested. The store is not part of the NP campground but they welcome all passersby of course!

There is a bathroom with flush toilets, a dish washing station, and we were told drinkable water at the campground. There is no hot water or showers at the campground, but there's a sign on the door that paid showers were available nearby.

It was only $16 to camp, but we probably wouldn't choose to stay at this campground in the future. Texas Springs and Emigrant were better in our opinion.
