Located at corner of Rt395 and Rt168. North end of Big Pine California. Awesome views of eastern slopes of Sierra Nevada mountains. RV camp $25. Payment goes in slot box. FF, No Reservations. Camp has E/W/ $hower house is $2. for old pay machine timed hot water. Tokens by camp host when he’s there. Plenty of shade, the iconic big pine is gone. It’s 23 mile drive up to Bristlecone NP trails. Road noise from Rt 395 Camp host not in till evening. Possibly Full time campers living there.
I came to check out the area and see if I wanted to camp here. I walked into the rest room and a guy, who I am assuming was the camphost, banged on the door and started yelling “read the sign! It’s for customers only!” He was extremely rude and I immediately left. Not great for business. making people want to leave as soon as they arrive. Very poorly ran.
Nice enough campground for $20/night, however the long term residents who stay there are a bit strange. Hot showers for $2 each, and bathrooms are clean.
The short story: Quiet and nice campground with a few longer term residents, cheap showers but absolutely disgusting. The longer story: We've been boondocking for over a year with no hookups so we thought we'd splurge on a couple nights of unlimited electricity and showers with running hot water. We were medium surprised to find the prices had increased from $15 to $25. We were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to fit in our 35' skoolie and Corolla. The neighbors were nice and kept to themselves. The shower stalls were atrocious! 🤢 For an extra $10 per vehicle per night you should be able to afford unlimited Dollar Tree shower curtains and bleach. There was so much mold I chose to wash myself with water from our kettle in our bus instead of shower in there again, after a 12 mile hike. The bathrooms weren't too bad and had a heater on at night. All in all: Give it a shot. Maybe they cleaned the shower room. This place needs more care but is an okay stop.
Was on my way home from Gardnerville, NV to Santa Barbara, CA in my lil RV and decided to stop in Big Pine, Ca to spend the night. I found Glacier View Campground right as I was pulling into town, which was so convenient. It was $25 for the night with electric hook up and a nice view of the mountains. It's a smaller park with restrooms and showers you can pay for. The camp host was very personable and helpful when I had a few questions. Spent a nice quiet evening and was on my way the next morning. I think I will probably stay here again in the future when making my next trip up to see the family.
Pretty clean cheap place to stay for the night. 25 bucks for a site without power 30 for one with power. There was about 8 sites with power but there were several folks there that appeared to be staying on a long term basis and they had most of the shady spots with power. It was pretty warm when we landed here but a nice breeze and shade kept it tolerable. Our spot was full of ants. Nice view of the eastern sierras. For 25 bucks you could do a lot worse.
Considered staying here in the future such as on my return from Vegas towards Tahoe but a camp host or long term resident was absolutely rude. I have never felt so disrespected in a camping area in my life. Yes I can read sir. No, I will not be giving you my business.
