Death Valley Overlanding
Jeep or Car Camping
By Del Albright, Sustainable Motorized Recreation Advocate
Death Valley National Park is an incredible desert environment because it’s one of the most extreme and diverse landscapes in the world. Much of it can be enjoyed by backcountry camping or overlanding. Just make sure you have whatever necessary permits fit your adventure (entrance fees, tour permits, camping, etc.).
Death Valley National Park is 3.4 million acres (about 5,270 square miles or 13,650 square kilometers), making it the largest national park in the contiguous United States. It stretches across eastern California and western Nevada and features vast desert landscapes, sand dunes, mountains, and salt flats, including Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level.
