Easy to access. Good camping spots. Great way to start an epic one day trip to Whitney summit.

This campground was so nice! You could tell that the campground host had made an effort to keep the areas clean and neat because you could see where the ground had been raked. The camping spots all had bear proof food lockers which we were required to use. We hadn't had to do that before, but it was no problem. Lone Pine Creek was just below our spot and literally sang. The scenery at this campground was stunning, and the air smelled so wonderful from the pine trees. This was a memorable spot to camp!

The campground host was polite, affable, courteous, knowledgeable, all the things you'd want from a host. Hands down the cleanest, best maintained camp toilets ever.

Nice, very well maintained campground. One cannot expect privacy at an ultra-popular place like Whitney Portal. But, unlike many campgrounds in similarly popular spots, this one does not feel overcrowded.

The campsite is immaculately maintained and the camp caretakers were super helpful and very friendly. The site is just down the hill from the trailhead so you could walk but best to use hiker parking at the trailhead.

I stayed at Whitney Portal Campground for my hike of Mt Whitney in May. This campground is outstanding. The Camp Host was tremendously helpful and polite. The campgrounds restrooms are extremely clean which is a huge plus compared to other sites I have been to. The campsites are a good size and are not too close to each other. The sound of the creek flowing through the campgrounds was a wonderful sound to relax to in the evening. The campgrounds is .75 of a mile to the Whitney Trailhead. Super convenient! I will be back.

Great camping area. Spots are a bit close which is to be expected.

The campsites were clean and cleared. Great location with stream running through the sites. Fire pits, picnic benches, potable water and restrooms all available.Made the hike to Lone Pine Lake but the hike there is closer to 4 miles each way rather than the 2.7 many have posted. Great experience.

The camp, the camp host and the surrounding area is the best in the world. The host was very accommodating to our particular needs and greatly appreciated him. Campsites were clean and the area very well taken care of.
