Death Valley GPS: scenic dispersed backcountry *roadside* camping?
Hi all - in April I am planning on spending 1 night camping in Death Valley. (sadly I can’t stay longer)
I will be in a self contained, 4x4 high clearance truck camper, so I would prefer a private, safe, silent + scenic place to camp. I need no hookups.
Anyone have any GPS co-ordinates to share? That way it would be hopefully easy to find.
As i only have 1 night to camp, and don’t need any facilities at all… I’d rather be on my own, with just stars and silence. I know I need to be at the side of a dirt road in an already disturbed place. (see below)
Here is more info as to where i can NOT boondock - there are a lot of places I can’t boondock.

and… I am aware that “Off-Road Driving is prohibited. The desert environment is extremely fragile and slow to recover from vehicle damage. If pulling off a road to camp, choose a place that has already been disturbed.”
and… I am aware: “Where is dispersed backcountry roadside camping allowed?
Along dirt roads at least one mile away from any paved road or "day use only" dirt road.
Camp only in previously disturbed areas and park your vehicle immediately adjacent to the roadway to minimize impact. The wilderness boundary is 50 feet from the center of most dirt roads.”
Thanks.
