GuideGlad to find this on a busy weekend
It was ok. Not the dispersed camping I was looking for but at least I found something because Alabama Hills and Tuttle Creek were packed on a Friday afternoon.
There were drunk guys across the creek from me so I stayed in my car most of the time. The fire ring was too close to the drunk guys to use.
It worked.

LegendMixed scenery - great attributes
Great view of the mountains, but the camp itself is not pretty. Sites are generous width, some shade potential.
It was quiet.
Big points for being close to a great little town - highly recommend Alabama Hills bakery.
Cell service good enough for streaming.

LegendCell Service by the Alabama Hills
This campground is perfect if you want to explore Mt Whitney or the Alabama Hills and need cell service. It's a small campground with a small stream running thru it. The campground has restrooms, water, tables, and fire pits. It's a good place to stay if you are in the area.
