Alabama Hills Recreation Area

This Place is a Gem

This really is an amazing area to hike and explore, and it's such a treat to be able to stay the night here as well. I do hope that camping privileges don't get taken away. There are new signs all over closer to the main entrance designating areas as day use only. These signs weren't here when we camped here last year.

There are still plenty of spots to park and camp, and plenty of them are accessible to larger rigs, though the smaller vans and 4x4 trucks can get to more of the spots.

We found a spot (36.613844,-118.118058) along Movie Road that was sort of a pullout / pull through. So it was easy access for large rigs but there was some traffic going by our spot and as the weekend approached it definitely got busier so we decided to move on. Also, though there wasn't enough room for another camper to squeeze in, there were a couple of times where day use people parked their car behind us for a short while.

The ATT phone had good service here and the Verizon phone had nothing. The cell booster gave the Verizon phone texting abilities but nothing else.

Hopefully people respect the signs and the area and keep it clean so that we can continue to camp here.
