Campsite 19 - million-dollar views for $5.00/night (50% off regular rate with Senior America the Beautiful Pass)! DW found this campground on THE DYRT while looking for somewhere to stay on the last leg of a 24-day road trip. Not at all disappointed! While no hook-ups are available, our 18-foot travel trailer and its tow-vehicle had more than enough space. The site had a concrete picnic table, lantern pole, and a nice deep firepit. Leveling the trailer was a bit of a challenge due to sloping and uneven ground but the issues were overcome making our three-night stay most memorable. Will definitely stay at this location again in the future.
Site 38 was ✨magical✨
We stayed here for two nights with our 43 foot fifth wheel. Boondocking is always a challenge for us with such a big rig, but we were allowed to run our generator at any point during the day (quiet hours 10pm-6am) and our site was right next to the bathroom which was convenient too. The view was stunning and a perfect way to spend Easter weekend. $10/night, dry camping.
Excellent place to camp near Mt Whitney. No reservations but the campground is large. Sites are spread out. Very quiet, even on the weekend
First-come first serve campground. $10 for a night. Easy camp and pay, find a spot, back to the entrance, put cash or check in the envelope provided, tear the tag and clip on your campsite number post.
Plenty of sites available. We came at noon on a Saturday and easily got a spot. There is a small creek thru the campground. Awesome views to the mountains. Sunrise was magnificent.
