Planning trip to Death Valley California
I am starting the planning for a trip to Death Valley this December. Any advice on where to stay and things that we must do? Thank you!

Last time we went we stayed at Panamint Springs RV park. It has full hookups and nice views from the RV Park. Also nice restaurant. It is far from some parts of Death Valley though. But then Death Valley is huge and no matter where you stay you will be far from something.
We have been twice in January. To us that is a great time to go. Daytime weather usually is great. We also went once at the end of April. Way too hot. It was over 100. The flowers bloom in DV end of Feb to now not April. The restaurant at the Furnace Creak Inn is excellent. As in fantastic. Not cheap, but very good.
Next time we go we are going to stay in the dry camp lot across the street from the Furnace Creek campground. FC area is the best location, at least most central. If you have not been to Scotty's Castle to me it is a must see. Very nice piece of history.
If you come in from the west the road from Panamint Springs into the park is a tough route for an RV. It is VERY steep and VERY long. I don't recommend that in an RV.
