40' 5th wheel easy access to beautiful spot TAKE Lubken Canyon Road (opposite Boulder Creek RV place). It's fairly narrow so go slowish, there's one short single-lane bit but several turnouts. DON'T take Roy Rogers or Whitney Portal with big rig - too twisty/few dips. But real nice road without rig attached if you do pop back into Lone Pine for ample food places and great $5 Film Museum. Quaint town and shops. No shade for rig, but, plenty of spots back onto or are near icy-cool Tuttle creek - so easy to cool down or sit chair-in the water & this mountain water is shaded. Shallow fast flow, clean, good for kids/dogs. Fire pits, picnic table, poles to keep trash (if tenting) hung high. Water spigots all around to fill (choose drinking or non-potable). Dump station and trash bins. Clean and well kept. Stunning Mountain vista (Mt Whitney) $8 per night ($4 senior pass) Some pull-thru but spacious other back-in spots. 2bar cell signal. Great Starlink signal.

It will be ok. A bit bumpy so go slow, but is relatively flat. In rainy conditions it may be different, mud might get too deep.

Is the campground water ok to drink?

Millie Oveross | Oct 5, 2017
Mortons On The Move | Oct 5, 2017

We drank it, no chlorine, clear cold mountain well water. It is stored in a tank however and run through a surface pipe so stuff could grow in it. I would say if it comes out super cold tho your safe, that means it's being used enough to flush the tank, if it's warmer, maybe avoid drinking it.
