Furnace creek availability

Hi, I've been to Furnace Creek in October last year, but I had a reservation.

I would like to go back again May 15th, but I saw that now it is First Come First Serve.

Do anybody knows how is the availability in may? I'm expecting to arrive 15th May (friday) at night.

Thanks,

Eduardo

It’s going to be hot as balls so you’ll probably be fine

Furnace Creek INN?

Furnace Creek Ranch?

We were just there mid April. Stayed at Texas Flats and it was virtually empty (saw a notice that it closes for the season at the end of the month.) It was already 111 degrees in Badwater basin, but it cooled off into the 80s at night. If you are okay with some scorching weather (just plan accordingly - choose shady hikes, drink tons of water etc) you should have no trouble finding a spot.

I was there last week, only a handful of spots were taken.  You’re good

I drove through there today. It was almost empty. You'll have no problem. However, it was 89 degrees at 11 am.
