Beautiful. 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….

Camping in the boulders and dirt with the snow covered peaks, in an area that’s free BLM and the opportunity to choose your own spot within a massive and area= unbeatable. So beautiful. So raw. So private. We stop here a night or two in every trip as our jumping off and finishing spot when touring the east side.

Lots of spots. First come first served. A nice creek running through the campground offers great chance to refresh even in the hot part of the year. Even if it’s so cold getting in is almost impossible. Campsites are too close and even on the 4th of July weekend wasn’t closed (albeit this is during Covid-19). Views of the peaks surrounding Whitney makes for wonderful scenery. Only $8/night. Although yes, Alabama hills are right next door, totally free, and even better.
