I'm with the off road bunch..great camping in DV. And then we have the 'however'...there is another area which has a few more things to do...

You can roll over to the Amargosa Opera House...worth seeing...and Shoshine has a good eatin n drinkin joint...go drive around DV as much as you like, then back to the hot springs to rEEElax.
On the down side, you didn't have all the rigs parked side by side and the off road atv/mc kids tearing it up. You might miss that.
