Fantastic campground, location and Host Bob and his wife are the very best!

Suuuuuuuper clean and well maintained!!! I was honestly taken aback by how well this place was managed. Although I didn’t get the chance to meet and thank the hosts, I was amazed at the state of things.

No cell service, but that’s kinda what you’re hoping for at a place like that.

Perfect spot to hike Whitney. No cell service at the campground, but we were able to get it at the road and get enough wifi for a zoom call

Bob & Emily are the best camp hosts we've ever had and we've been coming to Whitney Portal for years. Our site was immaculate and raked (!) when we arrived. The facilities are probably the cleanest we've ever encountered because you can tell Bob cares! He also had all the latest news about bear sightings and what the fish were up to and was an absolute pleasure to interact with.His wife, Emily, handles the technology and did so like a digital juggler. Because of this, they were able to accommodate some late-comers on Friday night and do so with grace. Thank you both for a great visit! We can't wait to see you again!

Campsite #37 for 2 nights. Great camping. Very quiet. Can hear the creek which is very relaxing.Most people are there to hike so they are serious about getting their sleep and respecting others. Campsite #22 is close to the creek. Bears are active. Great experience. Remember you are at 8000 feet.

The camp hosts were very friendly and informative. The bathrooms were clean, and the campsite was very comfortable.

Beautiful campsite, clean, flat and with a large Bear Box for storage. Short distance to Whitney TH and store.
