Stayed here from 4-7Aug21 to acclimate for a Whitney overnight. Stunningly beautiful location, Bob the camp host was exceptionally friendly and informative. Campsites are well-maintained (nicely groomed in-between guests), the pit toilets are cleaned twice daily, and the Portal camp store is about a 5 minute drive / 25 minute hike away. Cell service is sparse at best (had Verizon), but that's kinda the point. Bears are definitely active (especially so once the sun dips), but follow all posted signs about keeping anything scented in the bear lockers and you'll be fine. Looking forward to summiting Whitney again in the future, and we'll definitely be staying here to prepare.

What a beautiful spot! The campground is well laid out. By accident I chose a spot that was a little more private but still close to water and the vault toliet. The site is well maintained.
