Cartago Springs is right off of the 395 HWY, with beautiful panoramic views of the Sierra mountains with bright twinkling open skies at night. Just minutes from cotton wood creek and a short drive to the Alabama Hills and Mt. Whitney. Open land to park your trailer or RV. Star gaze and eat under the stars. Cartago wildlife area is a five minute walk down the road from the property. The Cartago Wildlife area is a protected wet land that homes many different birds and wild life, there are walking trails and a small pond to enjoy. The property sits near what was once the old Cartago dump. You can find beautiful colored glass, porcelains, neat items like silverware, car parts, old lighters, a pickers paradise. feel free to take any treasures you find home with you! If you like to ride, Olancha dunes is just down the road. Cactus Flats Road in Olancha will take you into the Coso Mountains where the trails are endless, the views are beautiful and the peace is surreal. Cartago Springs is a few miles north of the Mobile gas station, where they serve hot food a perfect convince for the traveler. Hope to see you soon!Park your RV or trailer on this beautiful open lot perfectly located right off of the 395 HWY with a front row seat view of the Olancha peak mountain.It is a dirt road to get to the property. 30 Minutes from Lone Pine, Alabama Hills and Mt Whitney Portal.

A little hard to find at first but after my pup and I got there we were very pleased. With a view of the mountains and the lake behind us, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is passing through for a night and I would definitely stay again.

Basic stay near Olancha
It is hard to find the place using the location in google maps. you need enter Whitney road and turn left on Olancha. Angela was very responsive to help us find the location. The place is very simple but was good for our needs. We just stayed one night before moving on. There is a table and a fire pit as advertised. There is noise from the road so you need to take that into consideration.

Cartago Car Camping
This camping spot has a nice picnic table and a very large firewood pit. Lovely sunsets and sunrises. It is close to Hwy 395 so be aware there will be highway noise, which makes this spot is better suited for car/RV camping. Lots to explore on the CDF Cartago Wildlife Area next to the camp.

We stopped for just night at the spot. The scenery and view of the lake were beautiful. We regret that we weren't able to stay longer.

I was with visitor from Europe, explaining that Hipcamp was offering nice places and we ended in this weird place... Even if it was not expensive, the rate between the price and the quality of the offer is abusive. This is a land along the road with a van which fall apart, missing walls etc, nothing except a table and bench, the same as in a campgroung... I do not recommend this place unless they do big improvement.

Lovely overnight adventure
Angela is very attentive! Sweet little place, stunning views, beautiful land. Lots of intrigue around— except for the fact I was not terribly prepared to sleep in my car, I could’ve spent a few days perhaps. would not recommend bringing young kids except with adult supervision. Lots of rusted metal and broken glass. Pretty quiet.
