Inyo National Forest's Bitterbrush Campground sits in open terrain with minimal tree cover, which means little shade during midday hours and limited privacy between sites. The campground provides drinking water, flush or vault toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and bear lockers, with trash service included. RVs up to 25 feet can access the site, and it operates on a first-come, first-served basis year-round. A creek runs nearby. Campers who do well here tend to arrive prepared for temperature swings, as reviews note both heat and snow depending on the season. Those looking for campsites near Bishop will find Bitterbrush a functional overnight stop, best suited to self-sufficient campers who don't require shade or site separation.
