More than 800 campsites are available in the Eastern Sierra area, and many of them are located near alpine
lakes and streams. If you are feeling adventurous, primitive
camping is permitted in wilderness areas.
The camping is limited in the higher elevations. There
is dispersed camping available on most all Forest Service
and BLM land with a 28-day limit unless otherwise posted.
There is a ton of camping, just not a lot of facilities.
Much of the Owens Valley is D.W.P. land, so click here
for recreation uses on D.W.P. land. In the Owens Valley,
all campgrounds are open with overnight temps staying
above freezing.

Mount Whitney Rules
Mt. Whitney hikers will be required to have a special
stamp on their permit to enter the Mt. Whitney Zone
no matter what their entry trail is. The zone boundaries
are: to the east, just above Lone Pine Lake; to the
west, at the outlet of Timberline Lake; and to the north,
along the Sequoia N.P. Inyo N.F. boundary to Mt. Russell
(on the west side of the boundary line). Day hikers
will also need a permit to enter the zone. Hikers wishing
to hike Mt. Whitney during the full moon without camping
will need an overnight permit unlike the past where
no permit or a day hike permit was all that was required.
All Whitney permits are reservable.
