Death Valley RV Camping: Hookup Sites, Dry Camps & Desert Survival TipsLongstreet Inn, Casino & RV Park sits on the Nevada side of the border, about 7 miles from the park's eastern boundary near Death Valley Junction. It has been a staging area for Death Valley visitors for decades, and it appeals to a specific type of RVer: the one who wants free or very cheap parking with basic hookups before or after a park visit.
The RV parking area offers electric hookups and water. The casino has a restaurant, a small bar, and the peculiar charm of a slot-machine outpost in the middle of the desert. Gas is available and typically priced below anything inside the park. The Amargosa River — usually dry — runs through the property, and the surrounding desert has a stark, minimalist beauty of its own.
Longstreet works as an arrival staging point. Drive in the evening before your park visit, plug in, top off your water, fuel up at reasonable prices, and roll into Death Valley refreshed the next morning. It also works as a departure point when you are heading east toward Las Vegas (about 90 miles).
