This place was great! It wasn't until I'd settled down from setting up camp that I realized I could hear the white noise of the creek. It was terrific. The site I had (see picture) was a little close to the road (50 ft?) which was the lamest part about it (well, that and the human doody and toilet paper I saw on a walk), but people from the road could only see parts of the campsite. It was private, stunning country. Parts of this place are like being on another planet.
There was some well hidden garbage in the bushes, but the space is big and flat. We had 2 cars, 2 tents, and a big mat we laid out to minimize tracking dirt. The sun was very strong, so bring a tarp so you can create some shade.
We walked a lot on the main road, but also on some trails. Night was dark (not great for stargazing, though) and there were wee creatures stirring in the bushes.
Things to see: beautiful flowers (including these funky low plants that remind me of the martians from Hare-Way to the Stars), incredible rock formations, hey look, the Eastern Sierras including Mt. Whitney! Town is maybe 12 minutes away, and the people there were extremely nice. Visit the Movie Museum (it was about ~hour's worth of pretty interesting.) 2.25 hours north was the Japanese internment camp, Manzanar. My ignorant ass thought I'd be bored after 45 minutes, but after 2.5 hours, we were still exploring it. It's solemn, and incredibly educational. I can't recommend it enough.
Back to the campsite: go here. There seemed to be plenty of campsites and all the ones we saw looked great. Although some probably required a lift; my stock WRX couIdn't get to a really good one due to same sandy ruts, so, do with that information what you will.
I would absolutely stay here again.
