    Pleasant Valley Campground

    Under the stars, next to the Sierra

    There is Pleasant Valley Campground, and if you cross the street and drive a little bit in you can get to Pleasant Valley Pit. This place has no shade, no trees, but amazing view of the Sierras. Dogs are allowed. Bathroom available. And is only 2$. This place is also close to other attractions like hot springs, Happy Boulders area and local hikes.

    You will find mostly two groups of people: rock climbers and fishers. Around 20 min drinking from Bishop, it makes a convenient place to relax from your recreational activity or road trip. Sunsets are amazing.

    Beautiful location nestled amongst the Aspens on the banks of Bishop Creek.

No water and a vaulte toilet. Trailers and RV's not recommended.

    Volcanic Tableland BLM Dispersed Camping

    Gem in the desert

    Was stoked to find this gem a short drive from Bishop. I drove in at night and the Milky Way was shining bright. Got some decent star shots. It’s a great way point if you’re traveling through and need a quiet and free place to crash. I haven’t even seen this place in the day yet but I’ll be back to explore more. Good day!

    Update: morning was exceptional. Pure stillness. Good sun for solar charging. Can’t wait to come back here.

    June Lake Campground

    Great for groups and pets!

    My group had a blast at this campground! We were really tucked away from neighbors and were very close to the lake and bathrooms. We went in August and it was perfect weather, warm days and cool nights. I am interested in what other campgrounds have to offer, but would definitely come back here and recommend! We also loved that it was pet friendly and an easy drive to everything wanted to see between Mammoth & Yosemite.

    Independence Creek Campground

    Nice spot great views

    We stopped in really late set up camp and crashed with the kids and woke up to a beautiful sunrise to Mount Whitney. Little creek runs through the site with big trees surrounding. Nice spot!! Kid and pet friendly!

    June Lake Campground

    Good

    It’s a small campground just next to the lake so the place is nice. But spots are very small so you don’t have a lot of space and you live with your neighbors, no choice. Impossible to find the host and we had to go to another campground to pay! Flush toilets, drinkin water, pet allowed, nothing for your dish, No showers. Nice but not one of the best place to stay

    North Lake Campground

    Great, quiet campground!

    Small campground with 5 sites, fires and pets are allowed. You get a lot of day hikers and backpackers coming through, but it is fairly quiet and very friendly. Plenty of hiking trails! Campsites are also fairly large.
