Mesquite Spring is an NPS campground on the northern end of Death Valley National Park, around two hours from Las Vegas. It offers 30 sites with restrooms, water, tables, fire pits, and a dump station.

The sky around Mesquite Spring is very dark, which makes for some incredible views of stars, and the daytime views, particularly of the surrounding mountains, are beautiful too.
