Onion Valley is our favorite spot to go camping but unfortunately, this past weekend we had some…read morefeedback to give. 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.

We had a wonderful time at Lone Pine campground. The whole campground has an amazing view of the…read moreEastern Sierras. We stayed at Site #1 and it was plenty private. It got quite hot in the late mornings, early afternoons but that was expected. The large boulder and tree at our site helped with shade but still pretty exposed. There's a pretty active stream running through the campground, you can walk down to it. We used the fire pit the first night and we had a blast with our little daughter, looking up at the stars both nights. The toilets were close to our site and were pretty well maintained, no showers. We hopped around the Alabama hills at sunset and took a drive up to the Mt. Whitney portal (which was about 10 degrees cooler during the day) to walk around. We would love to come back here to camp!

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!

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

Nice tall fire ring, plenty of space to set up tents, chairs, extra table. The most stunning views of the mountains. Tuttle Creek was flowing and provided some scenic walking!

Seemed like there were a few sites available even as sunset approached. Fire pits with grill grates and tables at the campsites. Relatively clean pit toilets. Check in is done via an envelope system at the entrance kiosk. Dirt roads throughout the campground but it was easy to navigate.

Rest rooms closed…read more As of 2 December the rest rooms were closed. The only option was two port-a-potties outside the casino. They were nasty!! Simply dirty. The locks on one of them was broken, so no real privacy. They obviously had not been serviced in a while. If this is going to be the only relief option in such a high volume operation , then maintenance and servicing of the facility needs to be increased.

After 5 hours trying to figure out what the problem was the mechanic empty the tank and told me there was no gasoline, did not smell like gasoline, he said it was water in the tank. Fort Independence are selling fuel mixed with water. It cost me $460 to repair, plus a night at a hotel because I couldn't drive my car. When I later went back to Fort Independence and explained what happened and to ask for a refund of my cost to repair the car, I was told to leave and felt threatened. I do not recommend to go this place.

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.

Changing rooms and showers (no soap allowed).No balls or inner tubes allowed but small noodles are ok. All employees were friendly. Overall an awesome place. Recommend: small pad in order to sit in hot tub as the floor is a little rough.
