How long in Death Valley

4 days will cover it but 6 is more relaxing. There is a certain peace about the valley that kinda overtakes you. Not for everybody but I like it.

We've been to DV several time and March is a good time to go. We did this last trip over Veterns weekend.

They had than on going event going on that weekend. go to the truck Camper forum, there are many posted trip reports on DV with lots of photos, pm me if you have any questions..

A note here on diesel fuel in DV, it can be bought only in Furnace Creek inside DV, so bring some extra if you don't want to pay there price.

Depending on where you are I would plan the trip in the winter months. Comfortable that time of year. Unless things have changed there are limited rv parks with hook ups in Death Valley. See Death Valley and do some desert dry camping.

If you like hiking, there is plenty of opportunity for that, so add on some extra time.

2 to 3 full days to see the typical sights. A week if you want to take your time and see some of the out of the way stuff.

With A/C may isn't too bad. If it's really hot do your sight seeing early in the morning and at dusk. Some places (devils golf course, badwater, the crater, race track...etc) you'll park get out and spend a few minutes then move on to the next. It's doable even in 100 degree heat as long as the vehicle A/C works well.

We spent one week in Death Valley, you will see most all in a week. Do not miss Scotty's castle. We went towards the end of April and were able to enjoy the RV/hotels outdoor pool in the afternoons.

Thanks for the information. We will go back to our calendar and look at dates in March.

Thanks!

May will be way too hot to enjoy your stay. Death Valley is best visited in Dec, Jan, Feb, and March. The desert flowers will be blooming in mid Feb to mid March.
We like going in late Jan. It isn't too crowded yet and weather is usually sunny and cool to mild.
The park is very big, so we like to spend a couple or three days up at the north end in Mesquite Springs campground, water and dump station and see the sights up there, then we go down to Stovepipe Wells campground, water and dump, or Furnace Creek campground...there are three down there. and see the sights down on that end.
So 4 days should do it for the main sites of interest.
