It has been over 60 years since I have been to this camp ground. Some of the large rocks are still where they were 60 years ago. There is a lot of plant growth that I did not see 60 years ago. Most likely fires have not come thru the campground. The area was clean and well taken care of. I left a day early due to a sudden rain/snow storm that came thru the location. Nice to see access to the location again.

Great campground. Some more private shader spots available. Amazing views. Great hiking. Dump station and potable water available for $10 only 6 miles away at Tuttle Campground.

Very nice location when temps start to cool. Bathrooms were clean considering. Far enough away from light pollution, Milky-way, nice camp spots and people were all friendly, several families with kids enjoying the outdoors.

Wonderful campground, site 1 was really spacious. Close to Whitney Portal and Alabama Hills. Amazing views of the Eastern Sierras. We will definitely come back!

This is one of the most scenic campgrounds you can imagine, in the shadow of Mt. Whitney and minutes away from the Alabama Hills. Bathroom was clean. Nice to have potable water on site. I highly recommend campsite 4 which was spacious and has spectacular views.

My buddies and I get together once a year for a 3-4 day camping trip and this year we had site 41 and 42. These are walk-in sites meaning that your vehicle is NOT beside you. Its a good 50 feet from parking to your sites so a good cart for your stuff would be beneficial. Site 41 has fairly easy access to lone pine creek via a couple small paths. Bring a small fishing pole and you can fish in a few pools that have some rainbow trout! (Nets are illegal) Site 41 oddly connects with site 42 so for our group, it was pretty great. There is no shade at either of these spots so some pop ups would be recommended. these sites easily accommodated 3 tents each. Randy, the campground host was awesome! Very friendly, had firewood readily available, and very accommodating. The campground was quiet, and has easy access to the town of Lone Pine (10 min drive) and easy access to Whitney Portal (10 min drive or 3 hour hike). Would absolutely stay here again!

The camp host was super friendly and had a cute dog. The camp grounds are tucked away off the main road. 10 mins to lone pine, and 10 mins to whitney portal. You can hear the stream on the edge of the camp sites. Pit toilets were clean, but lots of flies. I would definitely recommend.

@NormanW3962158 · Camped on Sep 9, 2025 at Campsite #24
Nice campground, some sites are small in size and slope of angle hard to level for a trailer. But nothing compares to the beauty of Mt. Whitney. The town of Lone Pine has a great museum and the Alabama hills are cool to drive around. Best of both worlds!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
