Site H1
“Hole in the Wall Backcountry Roadside Camping Site H1 provides a primitive camping experience for visitors looking for solitude and adventure, all while staying near the heart of Death Valley. Very little shade and no other amenities will be found in this site. Sites are spaced at minimum 1/2 miles apart and allow for some privacy, quiet, and excellent stargazing. Generators are not allowed in the backcountry. Capacity Hole in the Wall Site H1 can accommodate 3 vehicles and 12 people. For the purposes of capacity, any trailer counts as a vehicle. Access This site is located 1 mile down the un-improved gravel Hole in the Wall Road, 7.7 miles east of the Furnace Creek Visitor Center along CA-190. Hole in the Wall requires moderate clearance, but high clearance (over 8 inches measured from the ground to the lowest part of the undercarriage), as well as 4-wheel drive, is recommended. All vehicles must remain within the roadbed during travel and within the graded campsite. Off-road driving is prohibited throughout Death Valley National Park. Fires Constructed fire pits are not allowed in the backcountry. Portable fire pits that burn propane, methane or other gasses are allowed. Fire pans are allowed below 3,000 feet year round and above 3,000 feet between September 16 and June 14, provided the fire does not come in contact with the natural surface and all ash and burnt wood is removed. Vegetation There is little vegetation at this site, although spring and fall wildflowers are not uncommon. Views This site provides excellent views of the Panamint Mountain range, the badlands of the northern Black Mountains and the southern Funeral Range. Opportunities for backcountry travel by foot over the alluvial fan abound.”
