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!

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.

My kids and I love tent camping and dry camping, but my wife is an RV girl (class A if you must know). This was her first tent experience so we wanted to make it memorable. Funny how things work out: careful what you wish for... I'll get to that later... The site we got was amazing. Level, flat with direct access to the lake. We had a tree next to us and a hose bib. Across the way was a fish cleaning sink that we used to wash dishes. The fire pit had a swing away grill which was nice. There were Porta-potties close by, but we brought our own portable toilet and privacy pop up shelter. The view was amazing. The sun set over the lake, and the mountains (the Eastern edge of the Sierra Nevadas) basked in hues of purple, deep red and blue. We called it the Disney mountains because it looked so amazing it must be fake. The night sky was simply awesome. My 8 year-old, who loves astronomy and science, couldn't stop looking up. Shame on me for not bringing our telescope or remembering I had binoculars in the truck. If you wanted to be amazed by the beauty of a star filled sky, just look up. The days brought high temps in the low to mid 90's, so we brought a portable generator and AC, I know, but it was my wife's first tent camping trip and we didn't want to make it her last. Early evening brought some gusts and our first night was windy. The tent held up well, but my wife and kids were cold. We didn't bring sleeping bags, only blankets, and had a large 4 room, 12 man tent, so staying warm was an issue. Luckily, I brought our Mr. Heater Buddy propane heater, so we stayed warm until the propane ran out. We explored the next day looking for a propane fill up station in nearby Lone Pine. The quaint town reminded my boys of Radiator Springs from Disney's "Cars." As is typical for small towns that rely on tourism, the propane was majorly expensive, but we had no choice. The town, though, was nice to explore. Early morning hours brought an almost glassy lake with no waves. Wait until late morning and you got the wake waves from the motor boats, wake boarders and jet skis. Wait until the late afternoon and you got wind and waves. We used a blow up canoe and oars, so the afternoon wind and waves were impossible for us to get through. The winds on our last night really picked up in the afternoon. A 60 mph gust or stronger blew through our site and ripped apart our tent, destroyed our Coleman canopy and blew our raft, life jackets, oars and other supplies at least 30 yards away. With our tent destroyed, we had to pack up everything in the wind. We threw away both our canopy and our tent. I'm spite of our surprise excitement of the wind gust and destroyed camp gear, it was an experience we'd never forget. A memorable one, for sure, that ended up landing me with a new tent for my birthday and shade canopy, something that I wished for for a long time. Careful what you wish for, eh?

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 - .
