Free camping at Lone Pine Campground
Summary of transcription content from: LivingOurDreamNow
We arrived at the Lone Pine campground at the base of Mount Whitney. It's a small campground near Alabama Hills. There is a clear stream running through it and sites for small campers and tenting. It is a beautiful and quiet place, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. During winter, camping is free in the upper half, with pit toilets available. There are short sites so large motorhomes are not suitable. Prices in season are 7$ per night, half as much with an access card for seniors. GPS coordinates for the campground are available, as well as download speeds for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more videos like this!
Free Camping at Lone Pine Campground | Inyo National Forest in California
Music] Please note that we have arrived at the Lone Pine campsite, at the foot of Mount Whitney. Let's go see that.
Lone Pine Campground is not far from the Alabama Hills, which are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. As soon as you pass from Bureau of Land Management lands into the National Forest, the National Forest has a sign that says "no camping other than in established campgrounds." Let's check out Lone Pine Campground.
Well, Lone Pine Campground has a creek running through it. Damn, this water is crystal clear. This is a small campsite that could accommodate very small RVs and walking tents. Here is one of the walking camping sites. The creek is over there, and ladies and gentlemen, this is Mount Whitney. This campsite is in a beautiful location, it's quiet here, right next to the Eastern Sierra. Let me show you around the campsite and show you the surroundings.
I parked in the parking area for the day, there is a pit toilet up here. There are a few parking spaces for the day, a few picnic tables. They have a family walking campsite. There are bear boxes to put your food in. But these locations go all the way to the bottom here. Here is the campsite on foot, but it is beautiful. Let me show you camping and the different types of camping setups that can accommodate sites.
Coming down from the top of the campsite, this is what you will find. There is a small Airstream here, but these locations are extremely small. I wouldn't risk bringing my fifth wheel here. There is a large Class A, but the pitches have barriers and are quite short. A few can accommodate a larger caravan. Here's an example. But my fifth wheel wouldn't fit. I should park the truck somewhere else, and I don't like all these fences around your camping setup. Here is another campsite.
As you go down to the bottom of the campsite, this is what you will encounter. There is a number 1 site, I believe. I'll check at the start of the campsite. There's a pay station there, I'll show you when we get to that part of the video. This is site number 2. A long slot, but let me show you the site here. This is site number 4. You have a picnic table and a bear canister there. This is the view towards the top of the campsite going down the hill. A very short site, but it's pretty. Site 5 is up there. You'll have to put in a little effort to level your vehicle, but if you're car camping, you'll be fine.
There is an automatic payment terminal. There are no fees displayed at this time. There is another section of the campsite that is there, but is closed. There are additional dry toilets. It is a well-maintained campsite, but the pitches are all small. I haven't seen a location that could accommodate a full-sized fifth wheel. I just spoke to the campsite manager, and you won't believe this: after November 1st, this part of the campsite is open and it's free. Yes, I said free. You can camp for free at this national forest campground and access the restrooms, even if the water is turned off. If you have a small camping setup or are tent camping, you can camp here for free after November 1st.
Seasonal prices at Lone Pine Campground are seven dollars per night, half that if you have a senior access pass. So, here's spot number 8. If you have a small camping setup, you can back it up here and right in front or outside of your tent, that's your view. I think we'll stop here. I will put the download and upload speeds for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile in the written description of the video on YouTube. I will also have the contact details for this free campsite in the written description of the video. If you like these videos, like and subscribe, and I'll see you on the road.
