About Lone Pine
Overview
Lone Pine Campground is located near the base of Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the continental United States, offering unparalleled views of the mountain and surrounding peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
An abundance of fishing and hiking opportunities can be found both in and around Lone Pine.
Recreation
Hikers are drawn to the majestic scenery and challenging trails of the Whitney Portal area. Trails lead to the John Muir Wilderness, including Mt. Whitney, and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. The Mt. Whitney trailhead is just 7 miles away.
The less challenging National Recreation Trail connects Lone Pine Campground to Whitney Portal and its picnic area and fishing pond.
The eastern Sierras are also known for exceptional trout fishing, and anglers can access Lone Pine Creek and a nearby pond.
Facilities
Lone Pine is especially popular for RV camping. There are also a few tent-only sites and one tent-only group site that can accommodate up to 15 guests. Campsites are arranged around a single loop and have little to no shade or privacy due to the desert landscape.
Firewood is available for purchase on-site, and showers are located 8 miles west of the campground at the Portal Store.
Natural Features
The campground is nestled in sagebrush alongside Lone Pine Creek. At an elevation of 6,000 feet, the location offers clear views of surrounding granite peaks. Desert wildflowers add brilliant colors to the landscape in spring.
The area is home to abundant wildlife, including black bear, mountain lions, mule deer, pine martin, pika and many species of fish and birds. This campground is especially prone to bear activity.
Nearby Attractions
Campers can enter the John Muir Wilderness, a land of lofty snow-capped mountains, deep canyons and vast expanses of glacially carved terrain, via nearby trails. Mt. Whitney is within the wilderness area and entry is available by lottery for experienced hikers.

FAQ
How do I get a reservation at Lone Pine?
Reservations for Lone Pine are made through Recreation.gov. The current snapshot shows substantial availability: 404 of 504 tracked site-nights are open (80.2%), though availability can change. Campsite Sniper has also detected 103 site openings here in the last 90 days, so further dates may appear. Pick a site on the map to see its calendar, or set a free Campsite Sniper alert. You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.
Does Campsite Sniper book this campground for me?
No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.
How current is this availability data?
Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 17:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.
How often do new openings appear at Lone Pine?
Campsite Sniper detected 103 site-date openings here over the last 90 days, none in the last 7. A free alert watches around the clock and pings you the moment one appears.
Can I get a multi-night stay at Lone Pine?
28 three-night openings are showing, counting only runs where the SAME site is free for all three nights. The soonest starts Apr 16, 2027 at site 004. Confirm and book on Recreation.gov.
Which sites at Lone Pine fit a 35-foot RV?
5 of the 28 sites that support RV analysis have a recorded maximum of 35 ft or more; the longest recorded is 50 ft. 24 of those 28 sites have a recorded maximum length and 4 do not; they are not counted as fitting.
Which month has the most availability at Lone Pine?
April 2027, with 334 open site-nights in the current snapshot of 420.
How far ahead of a stay do openings appear at Lone Pine?
Half of the openings Campsite Sniper detected appeared at least 10 days before the stay date; the middle 50% landed 5-26 days out. Campsite Sniper can monitor future changes for dates you select.
When is the next open date at Lone Pine?
Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot. The availability data held for Lone Pine begins Apr 16, 2027 — about 165 days after this snapshot was taken, so any earlier dates are outside what Campsite Sniper is tracking here rather than known to be unavailable. Check Recreation.gov for dates before Apr 16, 2027.
