Tuttle Creek Campground

After a few days bathing in the stunning views of the Alabama Hills, we chose to have a slow re-entry back into the "real" world with a stop at Tuttle Creek. The campground was a perfect stop for us as it was nearly empty, the sites are large and spread out, the vault toilets were exceptionally clean and there were fresh water spigots.... more

The nearby Alabama Hills were packed and had constant traffic on the dirt roads so we moved here after rejecting the very cramped and crowded Lone Pine campground. Tuttle creek was nearly empty and a terrific bargain at $8. Clean pit potties and the dog and boy child had a blast in the creek. Amazing views, lots of space in and between... more

This campground does not have a bad spot. The views are spectacular no matter where you are. We have a 36ft 5th wheel and had no problem finding a level site. Bathrooms where clean and water was available in one location. The hiking trails are numerous and you can easily drive to Mt. Whitney base parking. We enjoyed driving thro... more

After 5 days of making do with bad unreliable signal in the Alabama Hills, we moved here for the work week and were very happy with this great campground. Clean restrooms, water, beautiful sites with large fire rings and views of the Sierras! Site 53 is higher up at the back of the campground and nicely isolated from the others.

Looks like the price per night went up in August 2017, from the fabulous $5.00 to $8.00 a night. Still a bargain! This is our 3rd stay here. Like the extra long parking spots for our RV and a car. Everyone was pretty friendly, but neighbor that moved into site next to us before our second night didn't bother leashing their dogs... more

Just west of the intersection (the only intersection) in Lone Pine, CA. We chose this one after reading about it on Campendium and in many blogs on the internet. We began our trip up Highway 395 here. After driving through Death Valley, our first time, we got here at about 2 pm and expected a crowd. But it was essentially empty. W... more

Loved it. 5 bucks/night for a site that easily accomodated my 25' TT and truck, with plenty of space between me and my neighbors. Gorgeous views. Neighbors can be hit or miss. Several barking dogs during my stay but friendly people. Verizon serivce was fast. Town is an easy drive, although the market in Lone Pine is not good. Advise st... more

We stayed at Tuttle Creek after the visitor center in Lone Pine said they are asking big rigs not to use the Alabama Hills to protect the ground cover. When we checked out the campground and found fast Verizon LTE and a nightly rate of $2.50 with the access pass, we decided to stay here instead. We got 4 bars Verizon with our booster a... more

Incredible views of the Sierra Mountains, Alabama Hills and Owens Valley. HUGE sites (at least 1/2 acre with 100 foot or more separation from your neighbors.) Onsite water and dump available. Did I mention $5.00 per night? And it's only $2.50 if you have the Golden Age Pass! Super quiet. And you get to stay in one of America'... more

Our plan was to boondock in the Alabama Hills just outside Lonepine, CA. The problem was we had one of those really fun travel days that you have in an RV ever so often and we got in really late, after dark anyways. It wasn't really a good time to go finding a boondocking spot. So we pulled into the Tuttle Creek Campground. T... more
