Amazing! Great first ever camping trip for our young family (first for partner and first for 3.5 year old). Beautiful scenery; loved the sound of the river at night. Little light pollution, made for some of the best star gazing around. Nicely kept sites, would 110% recommend site 9.

I visited Whitney Portal Campground for the first time. And I was overwhelmed about the beauty of this place. Over the last 29 years I set my tent on many great sites and this Campground is one of the best. Everything was so well done and clean and as I met the amazing Campground Hosts I knew, that they both are doing their work with great love for this special place. My rating is exzellent!

The lack of consistent shade made site 9 somewhat uncomfortable, and the tent area flooded and ponded water after the monsoonal cloud went over Mt. Whitney. When I got back to the site after hiking, my tent was sitting in two inches of water. Getting our tent repositioned and dried off was not a fun experience. The site needs to be leveled so that it doesn't pond water. The bathrooms were clean, and there was no harsh odors.

the bear box is much bigger than what they tell you...it will easily hold 2 large coolers

As has happened every time I have been up there, a fantastic time was had. Whitney Portal always makes me think of being in Rivendell, if one can relate. Hard to not have a great time. The campsite was perfect for what we wanted. No bears, but was still early season. I am sure they will come.
