Grandview Campground
Cappie’s Scoop: Did you know that I don’t really like roads that go around and around and around. It gets me dizzy and I feel like I can’t sit still in the backseat. But after driving up this twisty road, we found a really fun campground. It was very quiet and the campsites were pretty big. Nearby I went and checked out a really cool trail. It had the craziest trees I’ve ever seen in my life! Check out my other post about this spot. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: Camp sites have a picnic table and a fire ring. There is no trash service at this campground so make sure you pack everything out with you. Grandview is also the closest campground to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest and an amazing hike on the Methuselah Trail. Enjoy stargazing here too!
Directions: From 395 (south of Bishop and slightly north of Big Pine), head east on CA-168 for almost 13 miles. It’s a narrow and steep road! Then turn left onto White Mountain Rd. for 5.3 miles and the entrance to the campground will be on your left.
