If Whitney Portal is sold out are there other places to camp for a couple days near by?
Yes, the closest is Lone Pine Campground at 5,600′ off of Whitney Portal Road. It is your basic forest service campground with running water and bathrooms. However, it will be in the 90’s during the day in the summer. Further east are Tuttle Creek, a BLM campground, with no running water and Portege Joe’s near Lone Pine, this one is to be avoided at all costs during the summer months. If you want to go to the land of 10,000′ head over to Horseshoe Meadow there are about 30 or so campsites between the Cottonwood Lakes and Cottonwood Pass Trailheads. Lone Pine Campground is reservable the rest are available on a first come; first serve basis.
