Tecopa Hot Springs and Death Valley
We will be heading for Death Valley and are looking to visit Tecopa Hot Springs. I would appreciate any information from those of you who have stayed there--either boondocked, or stayed in any RV par...

I think we stayed at Delights in Tecopa HS. This was in early June which is off season. The CG is a two level gravel lot. We could not find the owner or anyone else to take our money, when we arrived or when we left. We finally left a check with one of the permanent residents. We were on our way to Yosemite and didn't hang around to try the hot springs. Frankly the place was a poorly maintained dump. We drove thru DV on the way north. Furnace Creek is where you'd want to stay if you camp there. It might be possible to boondock in the winter but I think you'd have to do it outside the park.
On another trip to Yosemite we stopped at a CG in Panamint (probably Panamint Springs Resort) which actually had trees and was a fairly pleasant CG for being where it is. It's outside the park to the northwest. Again we were pushing for Yosemite so it was in after dark and gone early next morning.
I have tent camped in DV, probably spent almost a month there in total, but that was a long time ago in winter. There is a lot to do in that park, all sorts of ruins, mines and other places to visit.
