Alabama Hills - Site 41

OHV enthusiasts and hikers will find designated dispersed camping at this Bureau of Land Management site, one of 48 numbered spots scattered throughout Alabama Hills. Site 41 sits at the end of a short spur off Movie Road, accommodating one vehicle or possibly two small cars on uneven ground with levelable spots.

Access requires navigating washboard roads and a final approach with elevated center sections that challenge low-clearance vehicles. Two large rocks flank the entrance, creating tight clearance for wider rigs. The remote location means minimal traffic compared to busier Alabama Hills areas. RVs are limited to 25 feet maximum, and campfires are permitted at this drive-in site.

Great spot with a great view

Camped here for two nights and love this spot. It was further away from the main area of Alabama Hills so the traffic was light to non existent the whole time I was there. I was able to access the campsite in a Honda Accord with very minimal issues, road to the site is smooth but the center of the road is a little high so be careful with a low clearance vehicle. If you have a wider vehicle be careful because right before you enter the spot there are two large rocks on either side of the road that make it a tight fit.

Small site, but HUGE view!

One of 48 designated dispersed camping sites in Alabama Hills. A short track off Movie Road gets you to this 1-vehicle camp site (maybe 2 small cars). The site is mostly uneven but has spots where you can get level. The view of Lone Pine Peak and mountains surrounding Mount Whitney is unbelievable. We stopped for a night on our way up 395 and it was well worth the miles of washboard to get there.
