Some campgrounds are in the desert, with planted shade trees and drinking water available.
Furnace Creek, the most developed section of Death Valley, features campgrounds, lodging, restaurants, a pool and horseback riding. Death Valley attractions include a ghost town, remnants of gold and borax mining and the grandiose home of a famous prospector, called Scotty's Castle. Death Valley's colorful landscape and many miles of hiking trails attracts hikers and artists alike. Artists' Palette Drive winds through washes and clay hills streaked with brilliant shades of color. Red Cathedral and Golden Canyon are named for their natural hues.
