Car Camping, Climbing, Hiking, RunningGeneral Info
Tuttle Creek Campground is first come, first serve, and allows RV’s or tents. The only time I saw it packed was for the Wild West race, and it still felt nicely spaced out and comfortable (nothing like Twin Lakes). It is nestled in the desert, right between a lovely creek and Mt. Whitney.

Insider Information
You can (and should!) hike straight toward the mountains, and get all the way up into the high altitudes if you’d like. Or, drive 5 minutes to Movie Rd. and pull directly up at the base of easy to moderate climbs. There is a great little gear shop called Elevation in town if you forgot anything important, or are road tripping on a whim.
