Best primitive campsite that I have found in all my travels. Super cheap around eight dollars a day and the best views of the mountain. Make sure you bring enough water as there is no portable water.

If you are looking for a remote place to stay, with nice fire rings, picnic tables and stars galore, this is your spot. It was private, quiet, and beautiful. Camp host we super sweet. AND $5 fee. Nothing fancy here, no showers or electricity which was part of the magic for us! By the way, it was not a problem to bring in 25 foot Class C RV.

This place is great! Keith is an awesome host who greeted us and was a wealth of information about local things to do. Great recommendations for food in the nearest town. We camped one night and it was spectacular and very scenic and peaceful. Bathrooms are the cleanest we have seen at any RV park we have been to lately.

If you want QUIET and off the beaten path. Beautiful views of Mt. Whitney. Far from the highway, spacious campsites, no hook-ups. Hiking trails and a cute little stream. If you want to “get away”…this is a cute little spot.
