Free dispersed camping along the BLM road to the hot springs sits within the Bishop Field Office jurisdiction east of Mammoth Lakes, with no reservation required. Rigs up to 45 feet can drive in, and winter campers have noted the road is manageable with a truck and camper when snow is present, though conditions vary. Cell service is available. The hot springs are close enough to walk to from camp. Nearby alternatives include Hilltop Hot Springs and Rock tub hot springs rd for additional dispersed options along the same corridor. Winter tends to be less crowded than summer, when more dispersed sites open up in the region.
