Star Wars Canyon

Is there a campground near Star Wars Canyon? Is it close to Death Valley National Park? Saw some cool youtube videos about all the fighter jets racing through the canyon. Where is the closest place to camp?
Thanks in Advance!

  • THANK you very much for your info on Star Wars Canyon. Cant wait to check this place out. You Rock!
  • Hi Jonaz - I registered just so I can answer your question. I'm out at Star Wars Canyon regularly.

    The best place to camp is at Panamint Springs Resort - it's only about 10 minutes from the canyon.

    If you're going to just watch, Father Crowley Vista is your best bet. For pictures, you may want to choose a better spot.

    Tues thru Thurs are the best days to go. It averages about 10 passes a day, so be patient.
  • Its a real place, where fighter jets and military aircraft fly through the canyons. Nothing to do with Star Wars filming.
