About Emigrant Campground

Escape to Emigrant Campground, where the raw beauty of Death Valley unfolds beneath endless desert skies. This intimate, tent-only sanctuary welcomes adventurers seeking an authentic wilderness experience without the crowds. Perched at 2,100 feet with sweeping views of the majestic Cottonwood Mountains, this free, first-come, first-served hideaway offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature's profound silence. Here, primitive camping takes on new meaning as you fall asleep to the whisper of desert winds and wake to painted sunrises over ancient peaks.
