Wild Rose Campground Death Valley National Park
The Wild Rose Campground is a no-frills 23 site tent-only campground in a gravel parking lot. Don't expect RV hookups or dump stations here! You get a pit toilet just down the road from the campground and a picnic table.
The NPS website states that fires are allowed in designated fire pits only. I did not see any fire pits/ fire rings in the campground. This could be that I was visiting during the summer and could have been a burn ban.
