Alabama Hills Dispersed Camping #2

BLM land in the Alabama Hills comes with a significant catch: most of the area is designated day use only, leaving very few legal overnight spots. This free dispersed site allows campfires and pets, and cell service is available. Trailers are not well-suited here, as access is difficult for larger rigs. Campers exploring places to camp near Alabama Hills will find the rock formations draw hikers, though overnight options across the broader area remain limited. Tuttle Creek Campground sits roughly a mile south for those wanting a more developed setup.

My favorite spot at Alabama Hills. Very low traffic. There are only three campsites on this dead end road. It looks like 4 from Google Maps, but they are rehabbing one area. Most of the stuff people want to see at Alabama Hills is over a mile away. There Is a lot of broken glass and dog poo in the site. I stayed in site #2. It is huge. 3 has nice view; 4 is practically private-but very unlevel. The mountains are gorgeous. I will definitely camp here again.

Alabama Hills

This is a great spot, unfortunately most of the entire area is DAY USE ONLY. Beautiful place to hike in the rocks. Very few overnight spots and difficult to reach with a trailer.
