The host was not there for check-in."

LegendSimple campground that was close to Alabama Hills for our group to go climbing. Clean bathrooms. Quite while we were there, nice people did pull up a few spot down.
TravelerVery nice rustic campground with pit toilets, fire ring and picnic table at the sites. Try to get one of the sites next to the creek, you won't be disappointed. Amazing views of Whitney as well as up and down the valley. It's a great alternative to Alabama Hills for just $10
GuideGreat campground first come first serve and cheep. Awesome views of Mt. Whitney. Close to Alabama Hills and Mt. Whitney, Lone Pine is a cute little town as well. Pit toilets available and water available seasonally, RV dump station for extra $, and there are dumpster. Easy access with any kind of vehicle.
GuideWe chose a site in which the creek ran across 2 sides and had a couple of small trees. Really lovely. The view was amazing since you sit up a bit on the landscape. The porto-potty was clean and maintained. This campground was in a great location to explore Alabama Hills, Mt Whitney, and Manzanar. It was however SO WINDY we couldn’t hang outside much.
GuideJust a couple miles from the Alabama Hills. $10 a night BLM campground. Vault toilets. Both water and dump station are closed 80+ sites and all have great views. But no shade.
TravelerBeautiful. Cheap. Mellow. Nice creek running straight through. Perpetual views of Whitney. All around a killer spot. If it weren’t for the Alabama hills being even better, even cheaper, even more private, it would be a no brainer. But if you want any facilities....
GuideWe came in late and found a clipboard, picked our spot, lots were available, came in wrote our name and spot and paid the $8. Bathrooms were very clean. Views in the morning were gorgeous. Seemed like everyone we met there has been coming for years treasuring this gem. Great spot. Very close to Alabama hills dispersed which would have been difficult to navigate in the dark without disturbing others there. This campground was great!! When you drive in, spots on the left have a little creek.
