This is a wonderful destination with great facilities. The only drawback is the dirt sites get a little dusty when the winds kick up. Other than that, this place is an A+. Happy Camping! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We only spent one night here but would have been happy to stay for a longer period. The ten rating is for the campground. There didn't appear to be a lot to do in Lone Pine or the surrounding area. But the campground was well kept and the sites easily accommodated our motorhome. All utilities, including Wi-Fi, worked fine. The owners were friendly and helpful. This campground was a surprising find in this somewhat remote area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a nice place but could be dusty. All dirt sites. The sites are level and easy to access. They serve offee and donuts in the AM. Nice people run the place and keep it clean. The store is well stocked store and has propane. We have stayed there twice and would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not impressed by this park. Our site was not very well shaded, rather dusty and had not been cleaned from the previous occupants. The dog walk area (although large and doggy bags were available) was covered in dog waste. Road noise from adjacent Highway 395 was very disturbing at night. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a nice park. It has very decent sized sites although they are a bit narrow. I just stayed one night, may be back again when I pass through the next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate is with Good Sam discount. We have stayed here almost every year over the last twenty years. It is a good stop if you are heading north from the LA/Orange County area as it is a good day of traveling, without pushing it. The sites are mostly sand/gravel and mostly level. It could be a little better. Most all pull thrus have trees, which is good for shade, which is good as it is in the high 90's right now. But, the trees need some trimming, especially the lower parts, as it is close and/or touching the slidouts. It does have 50 amp, which is needed right now. Our site and those around us, have the cable hookup with a male connector, went to the well stocked store, checkin desk to get an adapter, which they provided quickly and free of change. The cable TV has nine channels, of which some are fuzzy, but is passable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lone Pine is not on most RVers' destination list. However, if you need to stop there for the night, while traveling north or south on U.S. 395, then this park is a good place to stop. The sites proved a decent amount of room between your neighbors; the utilities are in good shape; the park is well maintained; and the store is well stocked with all the camping knick-knacks you might need. My wife was even happily surprised by the fun gift items in this store away from stores. The swimming pool was clean and very popular with the kids on the hot July night we were there. There is some good year-round fishing in the creeks and lakes nearby. Water sports are also allowed at the nearby Diaz Lake. The negatives were the sewage we smelled in one part of the camp (sure glad our site wasn't around there) and the bathrooms, although clean, only offer two showers per room. All-in-all, we would definitely stay here again (and we probably will soon). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Wonderful! This is our new home for all of the Eastern Sierra. We were placed in a pull through site and had full hookups, utterly fabulous wifi, shade trees on either side of us, and a view of stunning mountains (Mt. Whitney area). If you are close to the road, you will hear some traffic, but not in a really bad way. The staff is courteous; they have a well-stocked little store too. After 2 previous nights in less-than-ideal conditions, this place is amazing and I was thrilled. It IS busy, so call for reservations. We spent a Sunday night, and it is the half-way point both going and coming on 395 so everyone stays in this park. Like I said, in future, we will make this our home base and take day trips everywhere else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our fourth stay at Boulder Creek RV Resort, and we had a great time. The staff is friendly. The main house has a general store, clean laundry and shower facilities, and a large recreation room with big screen television. The pool and spa area is very enjoyable. The park hosts barbeques and holiday events. We reserved two more stays, including our return for the Thanksgiving holiday. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground was fine for one or two nights but probably not for an extended stay. Sites were a bit small but workable. Campground has a very nice camp store and the desk personnel were very helpful. There is a very nice museum on the north side of town that covers the history of Western movies made in the area. We spent two hours there and could have spent more. We would stay here again when passing through the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Right next to US 395, so you get traffic noise (our site was right smack dab next to road). Sites were nicely spaced and there were pretty trees. Dog walk wasn’t workable—there was a boulder wall and pine trees planted next to the wall and you and your canine were to walk between the two but there was only about 6 inches. Very puzzling. Nicely well-stocked store and lots of facilities for children—petting zoo of sorts, playground, pool. Coffee and muffins 7-9AM were included. Bathrooms were nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground with friendly owners; Wi-Fi is free but weak in the outer reaches. Great views; no grass and can be really dusty. But basically the only choice in the area for a big rig with FHU. Good power and good water pressure. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground! Wonderful views of the Sierras near the Whitney Portal. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We've stayed here many times just "passing through", but are thinking of making it a destination in the future. Very clean--pool and spa are nice and a nice park store. Only drawback is some highway noise from 395, but that seems to back off later at night. Wi-fi and Cable were very good. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fine for a overnight stay. Very dusty, clouds of it when ever anyone drove by even slowly. Restrooms were old and tired but clean. Interesting things to do in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park halfway between Yosemite and Las Vegas. The park is clean, has all the amenities (and they all work). Beautiful views of the Sierra-Nevada mountains. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Strong WiFi signal at site and good cell phone access. Cable TV great. Office/store personnel cordial and helpful. Most sites have shade. Parking space gravel. Clean pool. Fire ring at each site. I would have rated this park a 9 had not my WiFi for some inexplicable reason stop working. We were watching a NetFlix movie and about 15 minutes the Internet Provided terminated my access leaving some cryptic message that at worst could imply that I was guilty of some unpardonable act and at best did not tell me why I was terminated and not allowed to access the system again. WiFi was free. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice RV park with full amenities including pool, spa, showers, restrooms and store. I spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. So much so I'm going back in a few weeks! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We have passed this campground many times and finally decided to stop and check it out. Friendly staff, dirt and gravel grounds but seemed appropriate for the area. We did not have reservations but since it was during the week we didn't have a problem getting in although there were quite a few RV's there. This Resort is right on a major highway so during peak season it could fill up quickly. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Incredible views. The park was great, store was good, but no grass or shade trees where we were. Did I mention the view of Mt. Whitney was incredible? We camped here in a Motorhome.
Have driven by this park many, many times on the way to Mammoth and always wanted to stop there. This time we did, and we were not disappointed! Clean, quiet, and nice evening views. Fast, courteous, efficient checkin! Will stay here again! Nice large showers, and very clean restrooms. Nice clubhouse with large TV....watched the end of the Nascar Race (Daytona). We camped here in a Motorhome.
I found this to be a very nice park given that it is in the high desert. Very cute western movie theme to buildings and landscaping. Based on all the old Hollywood Westerns that were filmed here locally. Friendly staff, nicely stocked gift/supply store. Large, comfy rec room with coffee and muffins in the morning. The park was easy to get around in with our 39' fifth wheel. Sites were relatively level gravel/dirt with small to medium sized trees throughout the park. Tables and fire rings at each site. I am sure it could be quite warm in mid summer, but consider the location. The pool was inviting and clean, as were the restrooms. We stayed one night and would do so again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a GREAT park. It has all the amenities, fully shaded, and very courteous managers. I would go out of my way to stay at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stopped here to rest for a night before finishing the drive home. This is a nice park. Some immature trees at sights - will be great when they are big and mature. There are sites with big trees that offer lots of shade as well. Nicely kept park. Kids liked the turtles and goats. Big room w/TV, pian, and comfy furniture to hang out in. Free coffee and homemade muffins in the morning. Staff was nice and helpful. Unfortunately we had gusting winds making it hard to even ride our bikes. This is a nice base camp to explore Mt. Whitney and local fishing streams. Would most definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Not a resort, basic camp ground with un-level, sand/gravel sites, very close together. You park back to back to share utility hook-ups. O.K. for 1 night stop over. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed overnight. It is a decent park for an overnight in and out. Sites are mostly gravel and not very level. Staff was friendly. Easy access on and off hwy 395. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park. We stay there every time we travel the 395. Friendly staff, some shade. Of course it isn't a resort, it's camping in an RV Park in a relatively remote area of California. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park with a wonderful view in every direction. The park is well kept and staff is very friendly. Desert landscaping with some trees. The spot was pretty level , but could have been longer. The town is interesting, but not much else to do in the area. WiFi was available for a hefty price, but our cell phone worked fine. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was accurately represented. The staff were friendly and helpful - especially since we left our surge protector on the electric post! They packaged it and shipped it to us right away, and that was much appreciated. Also, it was lovely to step outside and gaze at magnificent Mt Whitney. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice rv park for any location, but for out in Lone Pine, this is a great place! The staff were very helpful and friendly, the facilities are in great shape and obviously well taken care of. They had a nice animal area with goats and turtles and birds, which my daughter loved. I would recommend this park for anyone in the area, even just for the night passing through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of the nicest RV parks on hwy 395. Site space is reasonable for a RV park, the management is very friendly and virtually all of the rv park amenities are available. There is a fair amount of shade given the desert environment. The views of the Sierra mountains are beautiful. Only negative is a really high fee for wifi at $7.95 per day. Thinks this park and others need to figure out that wifi is becoming a really big factor in selecting a rv park. Part of this selection process is not having to pay usury charges for what we think is important. Despite this, it is a good place to stay for days, even weeks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean and well kept. Very nice owners. Beautiful Sierra Mountain View. We arrived there in time to be invited to their Super Bowl party including good food and drink. Hospitality over and above any expectation! Thank you for inviting us..... We camped here in a Motorhome.

A good choice for this area if you need full hookups. WIFI is a bit expensive, $3.99/hour, $7.99/day or $19.99/week. It worked ok at our site which was at the farthest corner from the office. Fire rings at sites are a nice touch. Sites very close to level. Great pizza place in town 3 miles away. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very surprised to find this oasis on 395. Lovely rec room with morning coffee and fresh muffins. Nice animals for the kids to see and nice grassy play area. Dirt/sand sites, but long enough to not have to unhook from a 40' motorhome. Nice little store. Pool and spa were clean. We'll return whenever we take 395 again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Really loved this park. We've been full-timing for 2 years and have returned here twice on our way to Nevada. Very helpful, friendly staff, fully stocked general store with reasonable prices. Clean bathrooms and pool. Although not super large spaces, plenty of room for larger rigs. Pull thru's provide easy access for overnighters. They even have a petting zoo type area for the kiddies. We will definitely put this one in our book of parks to visit over and over again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed here 4 days. Excellent location to explore the Lone Pine area with fishing nearby. Beautiful view of snow capped mountains. Lake Diaz just a mile up the road. Nice campground and friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is very clean and well kept. The newer sites have no shade, and are all dg. There is only one restroom building for the whole park and it is inside the pool area. The older part of the park has shade, but the sites are small and hard to get a big camper into. One person scratched the side of his motorhome trying to park, so he changed sites. It is in the high desert, so it is windy and dusty. It is a good stopover place, but not good for an extended stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to stay with kids! We have 3 boys and stay there every year for the past 6 years. Great staff, facilities are clean, and just a neat place to stop for a night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is a great stopoff when coming in to or out of the Southern California area. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The entire park is surrounded by trees and the spaces are separated by trees. The rec room is huge and has a big screen TV so kids can mingle. Coffee and muffins are served every morning. The pool area is very nice. The small store stays open late and has essentials and ice cream. Kids have a playground and lots to do. It gets very hot in the summer in this area and the trees and pool were welcome. The early morning views of Mt Whitney are great. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a dirt/gravel park, which is about all they have in this area due to water restrictions. About 25 new sites have been added since we were here a couple years ago, but none of the new sites have any shade as yet. The original sites have some shade. People who run the park are very nice and helpful. We were surprised by the rate hike since the last time we were here. Close to highway, but noise has been minimized by the planting of trees and windbreaks. This park is okay, but as indicated, we felt that it's previous rate of $18-$20 better reflected the park and the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a decent RV park but the sites are too tight with trees planted too close. When we
pulled out the tree limbs scratched our motorhome. The office staff was pleasant. Free coffee & muffins are offered every morning. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park on Hwy 395. Wonderful place to base if you want to see Mt. Whitney, Bristlecone Nat'l Park, etc. Extremely clean, level, gravel sites. They were a little narrow, with slides out, main awning wouldn't go up. Very friendly staff, great if traveling with pets. We were going to stay 2 nights, ended up staying four so we could fish, hike, sightsee in Eastern Sierra's. Only draw back was some truck noise at night since it is right on highway. We will stay again. We camped here in a camper.
Lovely campground with views of the Sierra Nevada and the lake. Very quiet and few visitors when we were there. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Big campground on the lake with some trees. Easy access for any size rig. No hookups or dump station, although there are water faucets scattered around. Some noise from Highway 395, but quiet at night. Great mountain views. We were there the day after Easter, and it was almost empty. Good Verizon signal for voice and data. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A real gem of a park. Large sites, well-shaded, almost all with views of mountains and the lake. Can hear some US 395 noise, but it’s not bad. There were some flush toilets (some pit), convenient trash and recycling , picnic tables galore—some right on the edge of the water. Very pretty spot and a good deal. No hookups, no showers, but clean flush (and some pit) toilets, dump station, and fresh water were available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a county-operated campground on the southern end of Lone Pine, adjacent to Hwy 395. It is popular with boaters and other watercraft people. No hookups or showers, but has flush toilets and water faucets. A good night stop if in the area. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
This is a old residential park with only ten back-in spots. It needs work and a good cleaning. We stayed here for two nights and would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Dirt access road is very bumpy. Sites are not very level. There's no shade, and campground can get very hot in the summer. It's at 5000 feet in the Owens Valley. But it's very quiet, and the views of the nearby Sierra are wonderful. And the price is right. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
