Outpost Campground sits at 10,000 feet elevation along Lone Pine Creek, approximately 3. 5 miles up the Mount Whitney trail from Whitney Portal, offering ample space for tent camping and access to creek water.

The site has no developed facilities (no bathrooms or running water), making it a wilderness camping experience that requires water purification and pack-out sanitation.

A wilderness permit is required for overnight stays, and the higher elevation provides better acclimatization compared to lower trailhead camps.
