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.

Very nice and budget-friendly campground. No water but there are restrooms if you need them. The sites are very nice. With picnic table and fire pit, but challenging to level if you have a trailer or RV. Some of them are drive-thrus most are back in. The views of the Sierra are great with odd rock formations around the campground. At least when we were there in mid-march it was very uncrowded but I'm sure as the weather warms up that will change.

Ideally located between Bishop and Lone Pine. if you want peace while soaking in the beauty of the Sierras this campground checks all the boxes. Keith is super friendly host who goes out of his way to make sure everyone is enjoying their time. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us great recommendations for nearby restaurants. One of the best hosts we ever encountered.

Great campsite for hikers. Very few RVs and very quiet! Keith Cooper is a great camp host. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Gave good recommendations on places to eat.

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.

I grew up camping here and going to Independence for The 4th of July parades. good Trout fishing, catch your limit every day. Beautiful scenery

Summer months are far too hot to stay here unless you have a /c. I call it a bed-and-breakfast campground. Good place to stop for a overnight rest and then leave the next day. Nothing to do there but rest. I stayed two days. I would stay again but in cooler temperatures.
