Off-highway vehicle enthusiasts and anglers will find Buttermilk Country Road positioned along a dirt access route in the Eastern Sierra. This dispersed camping area sits within Inyo National Forest boundaries, managed by the US Forest Service with drive-in access for standard vehicles.
The site operates under standard forest service dispersed camping regulations, allowing stays up to 14 days before requiring relocation. Campers should prepare for primitive conditions with no developed facilities or water sources. The area provides access to nearby creek drainages and connects to dispersed options outside Inyo National Forest throughout the region. Pack extra water and plan for self-sufficient camping.
