This was the most interesting place we have ever stayed. Being in Death Valley definitely seems like you are in the middle of nowhere, so the tiny "town" of Panamint Springs is really out there. The room was exactly as the website describes: a bed and a bathroom. The carpet and bathroom fixtures were old and run-down but everything seemed... More

While this is no resort, it is a very welcome outpost after a dusty day's wander in Death Valley. The rooms are in cabins surrounding the main draw - an old house with broad porch that holds the restaurant. Parking is cramped but the rooms themselves are comfy: small with just the right amenities and simple decoration. To be honest,... More

Don't let the name fool you as in reality its a rundown motel room and we were just wanting to leave it ASAP. The restaurant, staff are all warm and friendly and helpful though which sharply contrasted the motel facilities.

This is a review of the campground at Panamint Springs. I have camped here twice, both times during spring break. Relative to the other campgrounds in Death Valley, I rate this one a close second. Pluses: Hot shower (as long as you want!) to wash the dust off; availability (spring break is the busiest time and the campground doesn't fill... More

My husband and I got in just before dark and checked into an RV site overnight. Lights were out in the bathroom/shower bldg. with no switch in sight so walked over to the gas station where we checked in and they got the maintenance person to get them on. Very disappointing as I was looking forward to a nice hot... More

Panamint springs was our first night on our trip back home to the midwest after heading out Santa Monica. After making it through the Sequoia National Forest and Monument, we got in very late. I called them and informed them I would be late, and as I got to panamint springs the gas station was closing up and as I... More

The cottage was simpel but clean and comfortable. Watching the sun go down and the moon rise in this quiet corner of the np really was special... More

We stayed overnight on March 2nd in the Cottage. The cottage is under a tree and is not physically connected to the hotel rooms. It was basic but very comfortable, clean and quiet. It also had a small refrigerator (requirement for medication) and TV so we had everything we needed. We drove in from LAX and this was a great... More

This was our first time in Death Valley. This resort is in the west side so stay here if you wish to view the west side highlights. Another place to try (the only) is Stovepipe Wells Village. Panamint Springs is privately owned and they do a reasonably good job running the rv park, general store and restaurant. Gas up in... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Panamint Springs is a small western-style resort seated in the beautiful Panamint Valley in Death Valley National Park. Marvelous views of distant sand dunes and the soaring 11,000' Panamint Mountains complete the setting for leisure dining and relaxation. Panamint Springs offers 14 motel rooms & 1 cottage, restaurant, campgrounds, RV park, gas station, and mini-mart. Our motel rooms are very basic, but clean. Our rooms are cooled with an evaporative cooling system. Some units offer their own A/C window unit in addition to this. We are pet friendly, however additional fees apply. If you are planning on doing some exploring, you'll find that Panamint Springs makes a great base camp for neighboring ghost towns, abandoned mines, and even desert waterfalls. Great for 4-wheel drive exploring, hiking, biking, or just relaxing! ... more   less
