Onion Valley is a beautiful spot tucked into the eastern Sierra above Independence. It’s a windy but not long drive back down to town.

The sites were comfortable. We had a walk in site but it wasn’t too far from the parking lot. The bathrooms impressively clean. We could see a lot of the other campers so little privacy in our spot but that was fine.

Bring water or water filters as the spigots are dry. There’s a creek to get water to filter.

Great starting point for hiking up to Kearsarge Pass and into Kings Canyon. (But if you do that and aren’t coming back to the camp, park in the hiker parking lot)
