South of town, is Sperry Wash, where there are beds of petrified wood of a quality hard enough to polish, which gemologists claim is rarely true of petrified rock. The opal beds near the old Amargosa Borax Works have long been a favorite spot for rock hounds, and have yielded some beautiful stones. The beds near the highway are depleted, but determined prospectors are pressing further back into the hills, and are finding still more of this semi-precious gem. The park features a campground with modern restroom facilities, showers, and bathhouses, and a Community Center. There are 365 camping spaces.
Some electrical hookups are available.
Maximum stay is nine months. A tour of Death Valley National Monument will highlight your visit to Southeast Inyo County.
