Death Valley NP is brought to you by the National Park Service.
If you go to DV without reading up on it... No! The NPS has a very comprehensive website, they answer their phone, they're on social media, there's a visitor center (with WiFi).
One week's vehicular entrance to the park is $30 if you don't have an annual or similar pass. At entrance, pick up your visitor's guide, the little newspaper.
This is a national park so has tourist, camping, hiking, and sight-seeing experiences.
Death Valley has plenty of backcountry and wilderness (site) (pdf)
If you want to go tool around off-road, use drones, bring loose dogs, or other wild-and-craziness, please go to some other part of the Mojave. There are other public lands, here are two examples. OHV in Mojave: Providence Mtn SRA Campgrounds, dispersed camping, hunting in Mojave: Mojave National Preserve
