The campground features flush toilets and running water. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, firepit, and bear-proof locker. Showers and RV hook-ups are not available. The Reds Meadow Hot Spring showers will not open for the 2013 season due to damage sustained during the November windstorm. Other showers are available in Mammoth Lakes at Mammoth Mountain and the Mammoth Lakes RV Park. There are showers available at Reds Meadow Resort, located approximately 3 miles from the monument campground. There is one site that is accessible to visitors with disabilities. All sites feature bear resistant food storage lockers suitable for large coolers and groups of up to 6 people. The vehicle size limit for the campground is 37 feet combined.
The campground is located within Devils Postpile National Monument. At the ranger station, take the spur road to the right towards the campground.
The trail is highly accessible and fairly easy. Interesting rock formations. Clean area and restrooms around. Limited parking. You can hike to rainbow falls from the trail. Challenging hike. There are shuttles that go around but not sure about the path or where they stop. Did not see any around. Worth to stop by and go. Worth the hike.
Very unique rock formation with an easy accessible hike. The columns continue around the entire loop and you can see varying perspectives, which is very cool. Highly recommend doing the loop - easy hike.
Super nice! It's definitely worth the drive to see it! Highly recommend it!
There is a long drive from the national park entrance to get to the beginning of this hike. About 35-40 minutes. Once you get there, there is plenty of parking and a couple of portable restroos. Once you start the hike, in about 15-20, you'll get to the Devils Postpile area. There are a couple of waterfalls you can hike to as well.
It's such a beautiful place. We had to drive a very scary road to get there. Then we had to hike about half a mile. It was not bad at all, but it's just uneven grounds. Thank God for the bathrooms. You can also see the posts from the top. Which we didn't do because I had to run back to the bathroom. Maybe next time. Lol
