Grandview Campground

Grandview Campground is nestled in low hills covered with Pinyon and Juniper. A large open area in the middle of the campground gives a truly grand view of the night sky. The combination of 8,600 foot elevation and no intrusive city lights make this a popular site for star gazers and astronomy groups. Campers are asked to minimize their use of generators and lights so everyone in camp can enjoy a peaceful night of stargazing.
Grandview is also the nearest campground to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, just 5 miles to Schulman Grove.
The campground has 23 sites spaced on two loop roads. Most sites are flat and sandy with ample shade. Each site has a table, fire ring, and parking for one or two vehicles. Firewood sources are limited. Do not collect wood from live or standing trees.
No reservations. Open year round, check online for updates:

This is a remote area with limited cell phone coverage. If you are going to visit the Bristlecones in addition to camping at Grandview, you need to be prepared to be self-sufficient. The nearest source for food, water, or fuel is Big Pine, CA.
Highway 168 is narrow and steep. A section of the road is a single lane with very limited visibility. Technically uphill traffic has the right of way, but bikers beware.
