Stovepipe Wells is not the most beautiful spot in DV, IMHO.  Camping
is basically in a gravel parking lot next to the gift store & Tour Bus
parking.
Furnace Creek even lower (-289'+-) trees, showers, golf, tourons,
fresh Twinkies, etc.  There is a generator free campground nearby.
Camping is nice at the north end of the park at 1800'- evening temps
last Jan. were reasonable.

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-better winter there than summer?
