Death Valley -- Furnace Creek -- Mid-May

We will be staying at Furnace Creek for a few days in Mid-May. After 4/15 all the spaces are "walk in" that is no reservations.

There are only a few sites with electrical. What is the probable that one will be open??? or do all the electrical sites get taken during the summer.

In other words how busy is the park in Mid-May??
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

If you're going out the west side, be sure your rig can handle the long up hill climbs before you get started.

Mid-May can be extremely HOT. Folks there will want electric if they can. We dry-camped and only lasted one night by sitting outside. . . not enjoyable. We came back in November for the 49ers Days - wonderful.

Starting to thin out as the temperatures rise. Chances are low an electrical would be open however. Average high is 99 degrees. April or March would be better.
