Within Inyo National Forest, Devils Postpile operates as a first-come, first-served campground with 21 sites accommodating RVs up to 25 feet. The US Forest Service facility provides flush toilets, running water, and bear-proof storage boxes at each site, though no hookups or showers are available. Most sites favor tent camping due to size constraints.
The campground sits near Devils Postpile National Monument and provides access to Rainbow Falls via a two-mile hike. Bears frequent the area regularly. Each site includes a picnic table and fire pit. For additional camping options in the region, campers can explore campgrounds around Mammoth Lakes. Arrive early during peak season as reservations are not accepted.
