Tuttle Creek (BLM)

Michael “Wolfy” Howes

Camped here last minute on our way through the area… it’s first come first serve but luckily we found a spot - we arrived around sunset… it’s in a beautiful location and super cheap for such an awesome campground. Has toilets, picnic table, grill, nice tent pads, etc. very clean, spacious for car camping - it was full and we didn’t feel cramped at all. You can also have fires in the fire ring - big plus. The road in/out is easily passable. Lots of nearby hikes and amazing views camping right underneath Mt Whitney… spectacular place when you consider price, quiet, accessible but also far from town, amenities, etc. Definitely plan to stay here more!

81 RV/ tent sites. BLM campground with $10 per night fee. Most all sights are back in with fire ring and picnic table. Has a dump site for $10 fee. Sites are hard pack but not level. Sites aren't ideal if you have a 5th wheel or MH over 35" as road is narrow and sites are at 90° to back in to. Can't beat the view of the mountains. 5500 feet elevation high desert.

We went on the 2nd week of April on a Friday and it was packed! We were lucky enough to snag campsite no. 78 after searching all 83 sites. It's first come, first serve. The gods of camping were watching over us because 78 is actually one of the bigger sites. You could fit a large tent and maybe 2 medium-sized tents in it. The creek was also behind us. The water was clean, full of trout and it provided some ambient sound for sleep. It was also a full moon so it provided some great nighttime shots of the sierra Nevada mountains even with just your smartphone. Just be cautious if you're tent camping. It can get pretty windy all of a sudden after a few hours of calm. Make sure you have your tent stakes. We had to use ours and put rocks on top of it. There was no water available and the dump station was still closed. Vault toilets were clean. In summary, despite the wind and no water, we thoroughly enjoyed this campground. For 10 dollars a night and with the great views and ambient sound of the creek, it's hard to beat!

We arrived late at night, but to our surprise, this place was incredibly amazing! It was a breeze to pull in and unhook the trailer. The views were breathtaking! I highly recommend it. The soothing sound of the creek flowing down added to the peaceful ambiance, making it an ideal spot for my family and me. I had a wonderful time here, especially considering its proximity to the Alabama Hills!

Campground has beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Night time the stars are amazing. 360-degree views. Sites are spacious with a fire ring and lantern hanger. The morning we left, we had a dusting of snow.

There is a host and it's very clean. Site 8, and a few others, have a creek running right next to it. Wonderfully I was able to hear it all night.

Although my time was shorter than I wanted at this beautiful camp site, it is only $8.00 per night tent camping. No running water in the winter months and this is widely posted throughout the entrance to the campgrounds. It was °46 when I got to camp and started setting up. At one point I got up to relive myself at around 3:00am and it was in the low to mid 20s but THE STARS were worth it! Great spot to camp, absolutely loved it. I have one complaint, if you even want to call it that. The noise from a generator about 15 campsites down. It was as quiet as you can think....then boom! Chug cha chug cha chug and on it went. Bruce was the camp host and a great guy that loves what he does! Thank you Bruce for the wonderful stay! We will be coming back!!

Very low key campround. Just the basics: table and benches, clean vault toilet. fire pit, and a lantern hanger. Oh, fantastic view of the Sierra Nevada.

Bring small bills or a check, because Forest Service uses an honor box and envelope system. Creek was lovely! Near Alabama Hills, which is being over-used by boondockers, so spending the $8 per night is a kindness to all.

Connie Webb

We really enjoyed our stay here. There's lots of boondocking in the Alabama Hills but in the campground you know it will have quiet hours. At only $5/night (half for seniors) it's worth the cost! Lots of hiking all around, ATT cell reception and good size campsites. It is first come/first serve so plan accordingly. One star short because the water had not been turned on for the season a week ago.
