About
Bitterbrush Campground is a 30-site campground in Inyo National Forest located along Highway 168 approximately 13 miles west of Bishop. The campground sits at an elevation that keeps it frequently below the snow line, making it particularly popular during spring and fall shoulder seasons when higher-elevation campgrounds remain snowbound. The campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted. During the staffed season, single sites cost $31 per night with an additional $10 per extra vehicle. From November through March, camping is free but the campground is unstaffed. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. This is an active bear area, and bear-proof food storage containers are provided at each site and must be used. All food must be secured overnight and when unattended. Dogs are permitted but must remain on leash. Maximum stay is 14 days. Most sites can accommodate two vehicles or a trailer with tow vehicle.
Directions
From Bishop go west on State Route 168 (Line Street) approximately 13 miles. The campground will be on your left (south) side of the road.
