If the bloom is bigger than expected, some campgrounds might be packed. There are a few off road trails that are 2WD friendly where you can just pull off to boon dock at. IIRC you still need to be 2 miles in to conform to park rules...I'd check. Here is a link to a PDF map provided by the NPS:

20 Mule Train road is a great drive when heading out of the park provided you plan to go out through DV Junction. Have a good trip.

Thanks for the info!
I reserved 2 different sites, 1 per day, at Furnace Creek because there wasn't one site that was available for the 2 days straight.
So far, our plan is to only visit the southern part of DV.
Do you know specifically which trail is 2WD friendly and is 2 miles out that allows boondocking?
I don't really like crowded campgrounds and it seems like Furnace Creek is going to be crowded.
