I don't think it's a good idea. If possible, you should use train or other public transportation tools like bus. And you should know that there isn't any qualified camping base. It's too risky and unsafe.

Alice, it isn't the coldest time. The average temperatures in these places are from 3 to 20 Celsius Degrees. However, temperature difference between day and night is huge. Therefore, you should bring several warm clothes, such as sweater, overcoat and other clothes for cold weather. And it might be windy in Jiayuguan, Zhangye and Dunhuang. You know, there are sands. So you'd better bring a scarf to prevent the sands.
