Tuttle Creek Campground

Beautiful campground, our site was right on the creek with wonderful views, well spaced sites. But this place has SO MANY MOTHS! We have a travel trailer and we’re so careful about open and closing our door and they were still getting in somehow… I am not sure if they were crawling in through the slide of what… but don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

This campground has spectacular views! We had a wonderful spot right on the creek (which is raging right now because of the snow melt), but honestly there is no bad spot in this entire campground. There are only maybe 3 sites with a little bit of shade of the whole 80+ sites, so bring some sort of coverage. The spots are nicely spaced out, there is water and a dump station. We will absolutely be back here! All first come first served, $10/night which is a great deal!

The spots are great, not all are level. So bring some leveling blocks. Bathrooms are clean( pit/vault). The dump and fresh water was available for my few days here. In the past this has been spotty. Host was super nice. Close to Alabama Hills, Whitney, lone Pine and Manzanar. Verizon 2 bars LTE, but with booster I was getting 4 bars and could use my phone as a hotspot.

This is our 3rd time camping here at Tuttle Creek and as the past 2 times it was almost perfect, this site was almost level close to the creek which you can hear from your site, we had some friendly little critters scampering about and were frequented by a small covey of quail daily... The weather was great not to cold at night mid 30's and prefect during the day low 70's... For the most part our neighbor's were nice, polite and most important they were quite except for this one ahole in a class A who would run his generator at all hours of the day and night we could just barely hear it from our site but others closer to him were quite annoyed especially after him running it at 3 am in the morning so they complained to the camp host after getting nowhere asking him not to run it at night.. He stopped after the camp host explained camping etiquette and the camp rules....

Walked the entire Campground and found it to be clean along with its upgraded vault toilets placed around each of the 3 loops containing over 80 sites. Most are large enough for 30 ft trailers and suv although may not be very level. Bring those blocks and you'll be fine. About 20% of the sites were tent users. This first week in October found it to be half full on a Thursday night. For those not willing to pay the $10/night would say there's a few BLM sites east of the campsite road we came in on along with a few east of Movie road and a few along a stream bed North of Lone Pine Campgrounds. Just use Google satellite view to search them out along with the BLM map overview on this website 😀
Has small creek running through it.

I arrived around 1AM after work on Friday and settled in at site #23. It took a while for me to angle the trailer just the right way in the moon light but once I had it just right I was rewarded in the morning with a beautiful view of the mountains and the sun rising. First day was perfect nice and warm with minimal flies. The second day we had consistent 15-20 mph gusts. It was rough to sit outside without getting sand blasted. Instead I opted to eat dinner inside the trailer.
