Planning Car camping in mid-December (campground recs)
Hey! I’ve been perusing this sub for some time now – my partner and I are planning to car camp in DV in mid-December. We’re comforted by the idea of having people around and some form of infrastructure for camping (bathrooms or potable water aren’t necessary for us), so we’re more interested in campgrounds than dispersed camping*. I saw Furnace Creek is obviously the most developed (and it’s nice that it’s on the valley floor since it’ll be cold during this time). Does anyone have any recs other than Furnace Creek for car camping in mid-December?
*We would consider dispersed camping if it is somewhat accessible to a campground (safety in numbers, etc.), and definitely welcome any location recs that fit this bill!
**We do not have an AWD vehicle/can’t do backcountry stuff.
Thanks much in advance!
