Site #2 is usually our go-to but this time the surrounding vegetation was very overgrown, to the point where you could not fit a 6-person tent in the provided areas and it was a potential fire hazard due to the plants being very close to the fire pit. Additionally, the on-site picnic table was extremely warped making it near impossible to gather around to eat meals. We love coming here so it would be a shame to have this be a reason not to come back.

Camped here for several days during our trip to hike Mt Whitney and surrounding areas…read more The campground was clean, quiet and in good location. Clean: Each site had a picnic bench, bear box, and fire pit. Our site was clean and ready to use. The outhouses were cleaned regularly which was awesome and much appreciated. The road to get around the campground is tighter but definitely doable. Quiet: The sites are fairly close to each other without much privacy but that is to be expected given the landscape. With that said, people were extremely respectful so you really didn't feel like you were in a campground. Location: this is the major win of this site. It was close to Lone Pine if you want to explore the town, close to the Alabama Hills and movie road, and at higher elevation and on the road to Mt Whitney. Gorgeous views of the mountains. Shade was hit or miss - some sites had trees others didn't so be prepared with a shade structure if needed. Overall awesome experience- would camp here again!

Located about 20-30 minutes from Whitney Portal, Lone Pine is a pretty decent campground…read more Campground is located at an elevation of about 6000 feet and is helpful if/when you're trying to acclimate to higher altitude. There are 43 campsites (28 sites reservable), my friend and I was able to walk-on and have our pick at available campsites for roughly between $20-$30/night, tent camping. There are some campsites with adequate shade (not all) and located along the Lone Pine Creek -YES! running fresh, cool water! I totally forgot to make note of what sites are best, but my friend and I pitched our tent at #37 -which gave us a BEAUTIFUL view of Mt Whitney. Two cars are able to park per campsite and some sites have water faucets. Decent restrooms -smells a bit, but always stocked with the super thin toilet paper. Camp host is a super nice guy -friendly. Helped another friend of mine park/position her camper. I stayed here in the beginning of August 2020 and was already warm weather at 8AM, hot around lunch time till sunset. Pretty decent sized bear cannister/box for your use at each campsite for no additional cost.

We absolutely SCORED by pulling into this campground. We initially wanted to stay at Big Pine…read moreCreek, but they had less first come first served sites. It'll always be a gamble, so if you're planning to camp for the weekend, come EARLY to try and net a site. I stayed in site #2, which is stupidly large in comparison to the other sites. There are spots for 2 cars, and we even had our own private trail leading to a babbling river. There is potable water, clean bathrooms, and even a few deer sightings! For $23 a night, we were living large. If you forgot anything, there is a market by Glacier Lodge a mile up the road selling the essentials (and apparently, BBQ on Saturdays). However, it was our camp hosts, David and Takota, who really made the stay special. David gave us a personal tour of the grounds, and we got to see his "Twisted Forest," his crystal collection, and he pointed us towards some natural hot springs! We even got his mixtape...aka CDs of the local radio show he hosts...that proved to be awesome to listen to on the drive down. Takota is David's very cute giant dog pal. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back in the Fall season to witness the color change!

This was my 3rd time here. The check in staff is very…read morehelpful. Found out the Hot Tub is down and won't be working for a long time. That sucked! Went to plug in my Nema 1450 Shore power cord and the pedal outlet was melted. Let the check in lady girl know and quickly two maintenance guys came out for a look see. I told them exactly what needed to be replaced and the part name. The younger one said he will call an electrician to come take a look. I said, tell him to bring a Nema 1450 outlet and replace it, as it's nothing to look at but just replace it already. Now mind you we are already set up and can't plug in safely. They "called the owner" and said the electrician can come tomorrow and that's just not gonna work for me. I asked where is the closest hardware store and again the younger one said "it's probably closed" he's not helpful and he's a minimum effort kinda guy. I called ace hardware and they are open for another 1-2 hrs. Had the counter make sure the part is in and had it ready for pick up. The older one tried to put it in, not having any experience with this type of electrical work. I ended doing it for him as I'm a 30+ year electrician. I may have saved his life - . The office offered a $20 credit. and got them to do $50...... The End

It was the perfect distance for a nice day hike, at about 10 miles. Nice reward of picturesque lakes at the end, and you turn around head back. I went down to touch the water, but some people went swimming in the ice cold water! This was a very popular trail and seemed like everyone brought their dogs. Out of maybe 20 parties with dogs, 1 actually had it on a leash. I would recommend starting this hike early so you can grab a parking spot at the trailhead and avoid the heat.

I chose site 004 because it has a fire ring and is located next to the creek. The night was calm with the occasional rustling of leaves cause by the wind and the night sky visibility was fantastic for me due to little or no light pollution. The restrooms were well maintained and stocked with plenty of toilet paper. Small flying insects are plentiful in the area but not very bothersome. The site would be much better if showers were available. There is easy access to pay for your site at the campsite if you arrive without reservations, just look out for posted reservations before you occupy a site.
