Camping at Death Valley's backcountry sites offers a unique experience with ample space, privacy, and stunning views, especially in sites like E7 and Hole in the Wall. Most reviewers praised the quiet atmosphere, excellent stargazing, and well-maintained roads, making it accessible for high-clearance vehicles. However, some noted challenges like strong winds and limited amenities, which require careful planning but ultimately contribute to a rewarding and serene camping experience.

granted it's a bad country campsite. It was unmaintained at all, and you could hardly tell where there was a site or not a site you had a marker and that was it. You couldn't tell where you were limited to.

Tried twice and wasn't able to reschedule the date several days in advance, even though the app told me that i had successfully rescheduled each time.

Probably the best spot to stargaze as it’s lower /closer to sea level.
Camp site is well maintained. But I would suggest everyone to carry all the essentials and bug repellents because night time is wild

H1 site might be OK for a campervan or small RV, but not for a tent. Entirely rock, in all directions. Not much level space (none), and driving tent stakes into the rock/gravel was not fun. I managed to clear just enough space for my small tent, and got the stakes driven, but it's right beside the road. No private place out of sight of the road to dig a "cat hole", and impossible to dig one without a hefty pick-and-shovel, or a backhoe--a small camp shovel couldn't dig anything there. Would NOT recommend this site for tent camping.

The site was clean and people have been following the rules. Had a quiet time there hiking and resetting my thoughts. Thanks for the chance to stay there.

I camped in site E7 and had a great time. Plenty of space and privacy, the spot is between two curves in a narrow part of the canyon. The combination of the road not getting much traffic (on a Friday only 4 vehicles passed my site all day), the generous spacing between sites (probably half a mile between each one), and the sight lines being blocked by the curves; I truly felt like I had the place to myself. Very quiet, excellent stargazing, a unique setting, and a low price. This site checks basically all of my boxes. The site is all rocks (large deep gravel), I sleep in my vehicle but I would want a pretty good pad if I were tent camping here. There is good shade in the morning and evening (tall canyon walls block the low sun). I drove here in a Nissan Xterra (around 9.5 inches of ground clearance) with no issue at all. I switched to 4WD around site 6, where the gravel gets deep.
On the way back to the highway I was surprised how nice the views were from the earlier campsites on the road. I'd say book sites 1-5 for views (but no shade, the canyon walls start to rise right behind site 5), site 6-8 for the narrower part of the canyon with the walls towering over you, and site 9 is where it starts to open up again as the road continues up toward the mine.

The drive in is not for everyone; runoff changes the road every year and it no longer continues to the former trailhead at a spring, but that assures remote hiking and fewer visitors.

The park is very big . We did a few hikes that were great. Very windy out of all the national parks I've been to this is one of my least favorite but I still enjoyed it
