The Alabama Hills are a formation of rounded rocks and eroded hills set between the jagged peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the geologically complex Inyo Mountains. Both geologic features were shaped by the same uplifting occurring 100 million years ago.
Alabama Hills camping offers touring film sites, photography, rock climbing, exploring natural arches, and viewing the swaths of wildflowers that bloom every spring. Horseback riding and mountain biking are popular activities.
This is a beautiful place to camp and a plus if you like offroad day trips..pack stuff in pack your trash back out. Not a camping place for sissies
No showers no toilets at camp sites. Lots of old cowboy movies filmed here. Take the drive up to trailhead of Mt Whitney
Amazing landscape full of large boulders to climb on and explore. There are so many hidden areas to explore here, perfect for a day trip.
Many RV campers spread around, but we were just staying in a hotel in a nearby town so we drove here. You can come here for hiking, biking, rock climbing, night photography (stars are very visible at night), or just sitting on your chair and enjoying a drink. Dirt roads are not too bad, we drove Subaru Crosstrek but many could be handled by a regular car I believe. Terrain is not like the others. I know it looks like just boulders, but these are round, carved hills by the nature over time. I have been to Arizona, Utah, Cappadocia, and Death Valley and this place still looks very unique.
A very unique place! We drove there with our rented Rv and it was a very good experience. In the night it’s very quiet, you can see a lot of stars because of the low light pollution, and the next morning you wake up with the beautiful mountains and unique shapes of the Alabama hills rocks
This is a good place to stop and camp on your way to mammoth, Tahoe, Mt Whitney or just to visit the place. There are some cool spots to explore and some places to camp. For the most part the place is very clean and well kept. There are restrooms around the area. The nights are dark and the mornings offer some very spectacular views of Mt Whitney.
