Volcanic Tableland BLM Dispersed Camping
Reviewed Apr. 6, 2021

Lots of other people but still felt private

This BLM land is managed by the Bishop Field Office.  

There are many clearings where you can find a spot to camp. Even though most spots were taken the weekend we stayed there, everyone is so spread out that you still have silence and privacy. The spots do have stone fire pits.

The road in, Casa Diablo, is gravel and heavily washboarded. 

Sad Boulders is a rock climber's playground. There are petroglyphs to be found on some of the boulders in the area, as well as rattle snakes, only saw one baby though. Areas are being restored so tread lightly and "Don't Crush the Brush". 

There are no amenities here so pack in and pack out and bring water.  It was nice to see that there wasn't too much trash laying around so let's help keep it that way.  

We did see a Ranger drive by twice during the 4 nights we stayed there, so that was nice.

There is ok Verizon service, better ATT service, and T-Mobile alternated between roaming and no service.
