Pulling off Highway 120 after a long drive through Yosemite, this dispersed roadside camp in Inyo National Forest gives travelers a functional overnight stop along the eastern Sierra corridor. Good spots away from the road itself take some effort to locate, especially after dark, and the area draws enough passing traffic that other vehicles are typically parked along the shoulder nearby. No developed amenities are present. Campers wanting more established campgrounds near Inyo National Forest have options in the surrounding area, and Mono Lake South Dispersed sits roughly a mile east for those wanting a different setup.
