Accessible via dirt roads, Northwest Alabama Hills provides free dispersed camping on Bureau of Land Management land east of the Sierra Nevada range. Campers can set up at various informal sites scattered across the rolling terrain, with no designated boundaries or formal facilities. The area requires high-clearance vehicles for some access points.
Located less than two miles from Boot Arch Camp and other established Alabama Hills camping areas, this spot serves as overflow space during busy periods. The BLM manages the land under standard dispersed camping regulations, including 14-day stay limits. Campers should plan for places to camp around Lone Pine as backup options during peak seasons when sites fill quickly.
