Another wonderful experience at the Whitney Portal. Second week this year in preparation for our ascent on Mt Whitney next year, my 75th birthday. Camp Host Bob was, as always, exceptional.

Site 22 was more spacious than some of the other sites. We had generous parking and a large nearly flat area for a tent. The fire pit was large with a grate for coals and one to cook, no separate bbq. The picnic table had seen better days but was still quite usable. This site is near the creek which is very loud so keep that in mind if you are a light sleeper. The bathrooms were very clean and stocked with TP.

We stayed at campground 44. This was the last week of the season before the campground closed for the winter. It was VERY cold. It rained and snowed a little. The campground hosts were very nice. The pit toilets were immaculately clean. The campground we were at had some small pieces of liter and some toilet paper on the ground and the fire pit had hot coals when we arrived. This isn't a fault of the host but of the previous campers who need to learn how to properly camp. The main reason for camping here was to check out the group campgrounds for a future event. The group campgrounds can hardly be called that. Parking is very limited and the sites are rocky and uneven. Our group will not be camping here. However, the regular camp sites are very nice.

A beautiful and dramatic campsite. My son and I camped there for two nights and hiked up to the lake on the summit trail. A strenuous hike (at least for me!) but we were rewarded with a beautiful lake and view. And snow! Great camp host as well and good patty melt at the store! Definitely reccomended campground. ⛺️

Great campsite--close to the rushing Lone Pine Creek. One drawback is that to move gear between your parking spot and the picnic table/tent site, you have to climb up a rocky little trail.
