Great first come first served campground. Tables at each site and close to river. No shade and too warm to leave pets in RV during warmer months.

Campsite 19 - million-dollar views for $5.00/night (50% off regular rate with Senior America the Beautiful Pass)! DW found this campground on THE DYRT while looking for somewhere to stay on the last leg of a 24-day road trip. Not at all disappointed! While no hook-ups are available, our 18-foot travel trailer and its tow-vehicle had more than enough space. The site had a concrete picnic table, lantern pole, and a nice deep firepit. Leveling the trailer was a bit of a challenge due to sloping and uneven ground but the issues were overcome making our three-night stay most memorable. Will definitely stay at this location again in the future.

$10 a night. Our campsite parking has washed out considerably, making it very hard to level our Van. Vault toilets. Water was available. Neighbors decided to watch movie blasting the sound. Access to the creek is touchy, some campers think access is exclusive for their campsite, and another family actively invited us over near their campsite. Dump is available for another $10. Ttash cans are available near the entrance

I love all the off grid campsites on BLM land as an opportunity to get away without breaking the bank. There is a $10 campsite fee and a $10 dump fee (if you choose to use it). We came on a Sunday afternoon and all was pretty quiet on the east side of the campgrounds. They provide a concrete bench and fire pit if you need. We are a 40 ft Motorhome and we’re able to fit into space 73 just fine. However, most of the smaller spaces wouldn’t have accommodated us. I loved hearing the rushing creek nearby and the views of Mount Whitney were incredible especially capped in snow as it has been this year. The main disappointment was when we pulled our slides in, there were hundreds of moths. Not sure if they breed nearby, another camper brought them in, or what. But we were blowing the moths out of our awnings, slides, and curtains for days. There is a camp host but we never saw him. The 2 sites right next to us would have accommodated horses with the use of a corral, so that would be a benefit for those with horses.

Great camping tent or RV not crowded and very quiet. There is outhouses and NON potable water available.

Beautiful setting but unfortunately infested with moths. Our camper van filled every crevasse and two days later and 500 miles we still see them each time we open doors or windows.

For $10/night this place is so great! Drinking water, dump station, and pit toilets at the campground. Spectacular views, the creek is raging right now with even a couple bonus creeks. My only two complaints are there is no shade, there are maybe 3 or 4 sites with small trees to provide some shade (we were luckily to have one of them) and my second complaint are the dang moths! During the day they don't bug you, but as soon as the sun goes down they will find their way into every nook and cranny possible. Even with our travel trailer we were still finding them inside even though we were very cautious about having the doors shut – not sure if it is seasonal or what but the moths sure were annoying.

A quiet, reasonably priced campground, very clean and quiet. Campsites are good sized and fairly level.

A spacious campground with a 360° mountainous view. Those visiting during wet months should expect to see a nice flow of mountain water in the creek adjacent to some of the reservation spots (1-28 all even numbered spots). Currently half of the campground (out of 81 spots) is blocked off due to water damage to the road but BLM crew are working on it.

Almost entirely dry terrain with no shade, so come prepared. Wind chill during the colder months can be pretty serious so pack layers if you want to stay up and see the tail end of the milky way.

Very clean restrooms with sanitizer dispensers. Campers are courteous and leave logs behind for the next party, same with TP or other amenities. 10 pm curfew for music as it's a giant desert and sound can carry far.

I went during California's heaviest downpour season and the surrounding mountains were all snow-capped which was beautiful. I can't imagine being here without an RV during the summer months as even the 60° weather sun scorched me to a crisp.

Site 38 was magical

We stayed here for two nights with our 43 foot fifth wheel. Boondocking is always a challenge for us with such a big rig, but we were allowed to run our generator at any point during the day (quiet hours 10pm-6am) and our site was right next to the bathroom which was convenient too. The view was stunning and a perfect way to spend Easter weekend. $10/night, dry camping.

Nice campground, nice panorama, lots of space around the pitch, reasonable price,
so what can I say - everything fits.

This place always has space, is quiet and close to town. Great place to use as a base for exploring the Eastern Sierras.
