Whitney Portal Campground

Whitney Portal Campground sits at 8,100 feet elevation in the eastern Sierra Nevada, offering 43 campsites (mix of tent and RV-friendly options up to 35 feet) adjacent to Whitney Creek with piped water, vault toilets, and bear-proof food lockers at each site.

The campground serves as the primary access point for Mt. Whitney hiking and nearby wilderness trails, with a small store/restaurant on-site for supplies and meals.

Fishing opportunities are available in Whitney Creek and nearby lakes/streams, though visitors should be aware of high bear activity requiring strict food storage compliance and the seasonal closure (typically late May through mid-October).
