I made it to the Death Canyon Shelf backcountry camping zone. The zone is almost five miles long with no marked sites. While you're supposed to reuse previously used pads when possible, you are free to camp anywhere in the five mile zone. And they only issue something like 10-12 permits per night for the entire zone. Definitely not like crowded car camping! Of course, the idea of sleeping solo a half mile away from the nearest human can be very unnerving...
