Overview

Stovepipe Wells Village is a historic desert stopover in Death Valley National Park, near the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes and Mosaic Canyon, with a rustic hotel, RV sites, a general store, and dining at the Toll Road Restaurant and Badwater Saloon. It sits near sea level and got its name from a stovepipe used to mark a water hole in the shifting sands.
