## Overview

**PLEASE BE AWARE:**

  * These are primitive sites that do not offer water, electricity, toilet access, or any amenities. 

  * Most primitive roadside campsites require a **high clearance vehicle, and 4-wheel drive is highly encouraged.** Road conditions can change quickly. High clearance vehicles are defined as a SUV or truck with at least 15 inch tire rims AND at least 8 inches of ground clearance from the lowest point of the frame, body, or suspension. 

Despite its morbid name, a great diversity of life survives in Death Valley!
In this below-sea-level basin, steady drought and record summer heat make
Death Valley a land of extremes. Yet, each extreme has a striking contrast.
Towering peaks are frosted with winter snow. Rare rainstorms bring vast fields
of wildflowers. Lush oases harbor tiny fish and refuge for wildlife and
humans. Death Valley has sunk below sea level through geologic processes over
time. It lies within the Mojave Desert and is the hottest, driest and lowest
location in North America. Despite its extreme climate, the park boasts a
diversity of ecosystems, including colorful badlands, snow-covered peaks,
desolate sand dunes, rugged canyons and flat, dry basins called playas.

Backcountry Roadside camping in Death Valley provides a primitive backcountry
experience in the park's premier wilderness. All of these designated sites are
located in remote locations and campers must be self-sufficient. Visit the
park's Backcountry Camping page for more information.

## Recreation

There are over 3.4 million acres of Death Valley to explore. The popular main
attractions are accessible by paved roads and more remote areas of the park
will require high clearance, 4-wheel drive. Please visit the park's website
for helpful tips when planning your trip.

## Facilities

**Backcountry Roadside Campsites:** Primitive roadside camping with your
vehicle in designated campsites along rugged backcountry dirt roads.

  * These are primitive, roadside campsites which require extra trip planning. Please take the time to plan and carefully prepare your itinerary.
  * **Roadside campsites are intended for high clearance vehicles only. Trailers, RVs and passenger vehicles will not be able to access most of these campsites. High clearance vehicles are defined as a SUV or truck, with at least 15 inch tire rims, and at least 8 inches of ground clearance, as measured from the lowest point of the vehicle (frame, suspension, body, differential).**

## Natural Features

Death Valley National Park contains the largest wilderness in the contiguous
United States (over 3,190,400 acres or roughly 93% of the entire National
Park!). Nearly a thousand miles of paved and dirt roads intersect the
wilderness, providing ready access to all but the most remote locations.

Backcountry travel in Death Valley National Park can be challenging, but the
opportunities for experiencing solitude, sweeping vistas, dark night skies,
and awesome geology abound within the three million acres of designated
wilderness in the park. There are few established trails in the park, but
hikers can follow canyon bottoms, open desert washes, alluvial fans, and
abandoned dirt roads to get around.
