Manzanar Pilgrimage and Local Camping? 4/27/19

I haven’t car camped there… only farther north by Bishop, but I did find this sheet:

Greys Meadow is closed until May as with everything on the Sierra side of Inyo National Forest.  Cedar Flats and Grandview in the White mountains open in April.  At the bottom is a list of campgrounds at lower elevation (out of the NF).  Most of them are open year round.

Portagee Joe would be the closest I think and further up the Whitney road is Tuttle Creek that has a group camp.

I think Boulder Creek RV park has tent camping facilities. It’s on 395 just south of Lone Pine.

Have a fun trip.

Thanks so much.  I’m not familiar with a few of those so this is a great start.

We settled on Independence Creek Campground.  Everything else was either booked or first-come, first served, which doesn’t fly on permission slips/liability waivers.

Thanks folks.

BTW Grandview Campground has the most incredibly awesome views but you have to haul in your own water.
Cheers
