Tuttle Creek Campground was fantastic! The Campos was friendly and made us feel welcome. We got a spot right on the creek, and it was delightful! It is really hot there and the wind can be a bit gnarly, but I checked out other campgrounds in the area, and I liked our best! We did have a 26 foot trailer and it fit wonderfully with room to spare. The campsites are spread out a little bit, so you’re not right on top of anyone else. It wasn’t crowded and the price was right!

Simply majestic and peaceful! Don’t ever want to leave. Sites are spacious, have picnic table and fire ring, w water and dumpster avail. A pop up screen tent would come in handy, but we did just fine without. Comfortably fit our 36ft 5th wheel, and w total sun during most of the day, our solar did the trick. Visited in June, and couldn’t ask for better weather . We will def be back😁

Amazing campground in the heart of the Alabama Hills! The location is absolutely stunning, with incredible views in every direction. Waking up surrounded by the beautiful rock formations and mountain scenery was an unforgettable experience. The campsites are well maintained, and the facilities, including the restroom buildings, were clean and in excellent condition. I was also pleasantly surprised by the strong cell phone reception and internet connectivity, which is not something you always expect in such a natural setting. The campground offers the perfect balance between being immersed in nature while still having all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. I would definitely stay here again and can highly recommend this campground to anyone visiting the Alabama Hills area.

What makes Alabama Hills special isn’t just the scenery—it’s the vibe. It’s peaceful, wide open, and unpretentious. Tuttle Creek Campground itself is beautiful and clean. During our stay dumpsters and non-drinkable running water faucet was locked.

Dry camping in one of the most beautiful campgrounds you we'll ever visit. I'm attaching the morning view. Hot in the middle of summer, cold in the middle of winter, perfect place in spring or fall. It's Thanksgiving week hi of 65 low of 38. Perfection. Bonus: Manzanar is only about 5 miles up the road. I hesitate to post this because I don't want it to be too popular. Oh, and cost is $8 a night. BLM campground baby! Bonus 2: T-Mobile 4 bars of 5g

This is a wonderful simple campground in the affordable range. Well maintained with clean toilets and trash disposal. The sites are well sized and have large fire rings. The two sites next to ours had horse paddocks! You can get fresh water from the creek and the views are fabulous. We rode the motorcycle to the nearby Alabama Hills and up to Lone Pine Lake (well, almost). Definitely recommended, would stay there again.

Great place to stay the night. Camping spots are very nice with a small creek nearby. No need for reservations, just pay with a small envelope at the entrance (cashless also available) 10 bucks a night for a regular spot.

Great little BLM campground! The fee is $10/night, and $5 with your senior/access pass. The views of the Eastern Sierra Mountains and Alabama Hills are unbelievable. You are close to Mt. Whitney and Alabama Hills. The restrooms are pit toilets, which could use a little love. There is a creek splitting the two sides of the campground. Bugs are biting. Potable water is available, as well as a dump station for a $10 fee. Dumpsters are at the entrance. You can stay up to 30 days with a permit from the BLM office.

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!!
