stovepipe wells village

Really just a stop for coffee and restrooms, small general store souvenirs etc. Some photo opportunities locally.

we were in stovepipe wells 2 years ago and going again in November 2015. this will be our last stop on our 7 week trip before heading back to rainy Vancouver. we stayed in the campground with our trailer and opted for a full hookup site. everything worked great including the power,water and sewer. the sites are a bit close together but we didn't mind. no fire pits in the rv sites,but one can camp in the campground area with an rv and pits. the bathroom,shower and pool were all very clean. hot showers. the staff were also very nice and knowledgeable. the bar had great food and cold beer(a must in death valley)there is much more to death valley than one might think, just ask the staff and they will send you on a wonder adventure of hiking,driving tours. and visit scottie's castle and take the tour

A run-down looking motel type facility, a bar, a gift shop, a general store and a gas station. Really nothing to see except the sand dunes you pass on the way to the village.

We stopped at the general store for provisions. Good little store with a nice variety of snacks, drinks and souvenirs.

It was a nice place to stop, stretch your legs and check out the trinkets. Bathrooms were clean and staff was nice.

We didn't like the food at furnace creek ranch, so we drove to stovepipe wells to eat. There was a wait at the restaurant but not at the saloon. Good burgers and kids menu.

This is a nice place to stop and pick up supplies. They also have ample souvenirs. There is a Saloon, RV Park, Gift Shop, Gas Station and Hotel here so it is a great place for base camp when exploring the area.

Located along CA 190, about 6 miles (9.7k) west of its intersection with Scotty’s Castle Road, near the physical center of Death Valley National Park, this desert outpost was founded in 1926 as the original tourist resort in Death Valley. Located here is a hotel (with pool), RV park, campground, restaurants, a bar, gift shop, general store and a gas station with the lowest cost, although not cheap, gas in Death Valley (if you are headed towards Beatty, gas is much cheaper there). Like the gas, we found all the facilities here to be convenient, of good quality and, while certainly not cheap, the best value within the park. Located throughout the village, there are a number of antique, historical vehicles and other items that add interest and character. Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Mosaic Canyon and the Devil’s Cornfield, very popular park attractions, are all located within a couple of miles of the village.

Seeing nearby camping and places to stay, most of all, learning a bit about the history. Did not dislike anything.

It is a nice place fill gas. Also a grocery store that you can buy for your camping. The visitor center in the village is good, too.

This is a truly fabulous place to stay. Our party arrived when it was dark (but still extremely hot!) so we couldn't see any views on arrival...but in the morning the view was really quite something.Wicked steak at a really reasonable price, lovely staff and a great breakfast.The rooms are basic, but have everything you need. Would definitely recommend and fully intend on returning.

Any visit to DVNP would normally contain a stop at the Village ! It is a quaint little place & yes a bit pricey but they need to make a living as well. We stopped to get a cool drink , it was still warm in late December and visited the Ranger Station to buy a season pass & get some useful tips. well worth the stop !! Would of loved a beer in the wild west saloon but I was the designated (and only) driver, so next time , maybe ?

Remember in the first Star Wars movie when Luke Looked down on mos eisley with Obi wan Kenobi? Well, as you drive down from Town Pass, this is what Stovepipe Village looks like. Its not a spaceport and you won't find Jabba the Hutt, but you can get a cold drink, and by all means get some gas there. Its expensive, but its more expensive in Furnace Creek.

As opposed to most visitors of Stovepipe Wells Village, who stay just one night, we stayed 5 nights in the scourching month of July... and we LOVED it! Amazing place, especially when you see the village from afar, as scattered white dots on a huge, hellish plain. We did hike (early in the morning canyon floor, afternoon higher altitudes) a lot, taking loads of water to return to this haven afterwards to recharge our physical batteries. As opposed to other hotels and motels we really got a kind of special relationship with the place, being such a refuge after our walks. Nice people, great help. It's a pity most people stay so little time and see so little.

The restaurant at Stovepipe was slow to open for lunch and the food was too salty and a bit overpriced. Better to opt for a picnic or visit Furnace Creek for their better choice of eateries (but still overpriced). Furnace Creek general store is well stocked with pic nic supplies.
