Fodor's Expert Review Panamint Springs Resort

Ten miles inside the park's west entrance, overlooking Panamint Valley's sand dunes and unusual geological formations, this rustic, mom-and-pop-style resort has a wraparound porch, as well as a restaurant and bar, a gas station, and a general store. One room has a king-size bed, and several rooms and cabins accommodate up to six people. Tent cabins and tent and RV (six with hookups) sites are also available.
