    Peaceful and pretty

    We got in late, but had no problem finding it and setting up. We just stayed for one night, but it was great. It’s right by Sawmill Trail head if you are going there.

    Quiet stop after Death Valley

    Spent one full day and night here after spending about a week in the park. Absolutely amazing spots close to town but far enough at the same time. Minimal cover from the wind is the only drawback. 3 bars 5g with ATT and booster, pulling 300mbps with redzone wireless.

    Great spot really!

    This location is right off the highway, which made it convenient for a quick stop. There was mild highway noise, but it wasn’t too bothersome, just a hum in the background. Occasionally, we’d hear burros in the distance, which added some character to the place. We stayed in a tent, and despite being close to the road, it was still a great spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Overall, a solid choice for a brief stay.

    Shaded private camping

    Was so nice to get out of Vegas and have trees around! We enjoyed a relatively cool day and just enjoyed the nature.

    Keep in mind that as other have mentioned, many people leave trash, ride ATVs, play music, etc.

    You can not have fires, only propane, fuel stoves with a shut off.

    T-Mobile has no signal here.

    Great Views

    Parking Coordinates: (36.3636285, -115.6685757)

    Relatively easy dirt road. This spot was located right before the road closure. Was able to fit the truck and a ground tent with amazing views overlooking the valley below. Visited June 22nd it was 110 in the city but up here at 7700 feet it was a nice 85-90 during the day and a cool 65-70 at night. Not a lot of tree shade at this spot but if you create your own it helps during the day.

    People ruin it

    Fair warning, my boyfriend and I camped on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend so this may have skewed my rating.  

    The campsite was amazing!  Private, very big for just the two of us, and a good combination of sun and shade.  The site was very easy to get to in a 4WD truck even on the narrow two way road, smaller cars may have some issues.  The views were limited but beautiful!  It was hot during the day and wonderfully chilly at night.  Bring lots of water, sunscreen, and good food that you can eat cold or heat up on a propane stove - no fires allowed! 

    The bugs were BAD all day, I swore off DEET but that trip I would've bathed in it.  I was very excited for a quiet get away and quiet I did not get because of a group that rode their ATV up and down Champion road incessantly.  Due to this, the dust was absolutely horrible and unfortunately the birds stayed away which is my favorite part of camping :(.  The campsite was LITTERED with used pieces of toilet paper, baby wipes, glass, plastic - all the trash you can think of.  We spent about a hour trying to pick up as much trash as possible, please do the same.  We decided to call it a night when the sun set however people were blasting music in a neighboring campsite... why do people play loud music in nature? No clue.   

    So to summarize, my boyfriend and I had a WONDERFUL trip however inconsiderate people really know how to test a camper's patience.

    Further up the mountain

    We went further up near intersection of 157 and 158. Lots of open spots and almost no one around. Height of your rig could limit site selection. Even with high roof Sprinter we had some issues with low branches. Lots of shade. No real views, but lots of privacy. Some trash. Not horrible, but a good reminder to pick up after yourself so we can keep these public lands open.

    Vanderbilt rd dispersed camping

    Easy access right off Hwy 95 for my Harley. Camp near the pond or around any of the many fire rings in the gravel parking area.

    BLM site off Death Valley Road, Nevada

    Quiet, remote BLM site. No amenities. 5 miles outside of Beatty, Nevada off of Death Valley Road.

    No camping in the refuge

    Be careful, the location this takes you to is a wildlife refuge. It is posted as day use only, no camping. A super cool place to visit during the day. Be sure you are not on private property or within the refuge and there are spots to pull over to camp in your vehicle.

    Death Valley: Dispersed Camping East Side of Park

    So much space!

    Large space, you can park on the pads or the dirt. Very close to the park. Right off the highway and easy to find. No water, no restrooms and no cell service. Be careful if you tent camp off the pads. My tent got some holes from the tiny rocks, even with a good foot print. Some are just very pointy. Overall great free spot, can’t complain. Would definitely camp there again.

    Echo Canyon Rd

    Remote free camping

    This was so peaceful and quiet. The road is gravel but recommend 4x4 with clearance.

    The new setup is the sites are designated and must be reserved at the visitor center. The Ranger was really helpful.

    Pretty views, but pretty sketchy area and so much trash

    The options were nice and the views were gorgeous but there seems to be a lot of long term living people around in their cars as well as a decently large homeless population around. I didn’t feel very safe so I only stayed one night. Along with that, there was so much litter and trash.

    Good Dispersed Area

    Beautiful view overlooking the town and mountains. Quite a few pull off areas as you go up Wheeler rd, I ended up parking at coordinates: (36.2420331, -115.9001200). Well maintained gravel road getting up here.

    Gravel area. Easy access in small Class A.

    Gravelly area off the highway. Far enough away to dampen road noise. There's a pond there, which we did not explore due to late arrival. Easy to drive a motorhome around.

    Death Valley: Dispersed Camping East Side of Park

    Great spot!

    Super easy to find a few miles before the entrance to Death Valley. Theres a ton of pads to park on, in a few different sections along the road. The section I was in had 10+ pads, each with their own fire pit. I was lucky enough to get the whole section to myself so it was very quiet and peaceful! Definitely recommend, but no water or bathrooms so come prepared.

    Great spot, very private, but WINDY

    Not sure how fun this would be in a tent, but we slept in the back of our vehicle up on top of a cliff surrounded by Joshua trees. Very sweet spot to spend the night.

    We took a right off of the main road towards the gravel pit and took a left which headed up to a secluded location.

    Easy Free Camping outside of Death Valley

    Location is good, right outside the park. Not much for views and it’s right on the side of the road. As others have said there are a bunch of Cement pads that you can put a RV or camper on. No very private and spots are close together but it works for a night.

    Death Valley: Dispersed Camping East Side of Park

    Would recommend

    Free sites close to the park entrance? Score. Was here in March and there were about 15 other vehicles camping. Everyone was spread out and noise was very minimal. Only downside is lack of privacy. I camped near some tall grass so I could pee with some cover.

    Over 10 miles of campsites from just east of town to the mountains

    Wheeler Peak Rd is actually one of 4 roads that goes into this vast area. 

    There are several roads that some think give better access to campsites off HIghway 160 in town.  Wheeler Peak Rd is south of town.

    Best one might be Charleston Peak Rd.  Turn east off 160 Highway by the Auto Zone store onto Panorama and go one block to Charleston Peak Rd turning right at the Chevy dealership. 

    This is paved road nearly all the way to campsites.  When the pavement ends go straight ahead a block or two to campsites or turn to the left and go north toward the power lines.  All BLM east of the power lines clear to the mountains. 

    Boondocked in this area 2  months with no complaints. Verizon Cellphone signal this close to town was very good as was my hotspot internet connection.

    Death Valley: Dispersed Camping East Side of Park

    Just great, exposed to wind.

    “The slabs” offer plenty of room and nice level parking. I had a great stay and then moved to a more sheltered campground for a period of extended heavy wind. Exactly 5.5 miles before the Death Valley Park sign at the east end on 190. Did not have any reception- as is the case in most of the park. Can’t beat the price!

    Tons Of Space

    We stayed at this spot for a week while volunteering with the Homes On Wheels Alliance.  There must have been a hundred of us total, and there was plenty of room for all.  We stayed on the edge, just off Mesquite Rd, very minimal off road driving.  But you can keep going further back and there are so many open spots to choose from. This particular spot is huge and good for any size rig.

    Good cell signal here for Verizon and ATT.  It got windy every evening/night when we were there in mid October.

    Heads up that there is a shooting range across the street and the shots are loud.

    There's a county transfer station just down Mesquite Rd that takes recyclables (incl. glass!) and e-waste.

    This is dispersed camping on BLM land so there are zero amenities or services so please help keep it clean.

    Good location for first timers

    Lots of level sites for individuals or groups. Very close to town/shopping/gas so a great spot for first timers to test and fine tune their setup before heading for more remote boondocking adventures.
