Dispersed Campsite Selection (Camp Like A PRO)

In the Eastern Sierra, we want you to Camp like a Pro. In this video, we’ll cover how to select an appropriate dispersed campsite, or campsite that exists outside of a developed campground.

If you’re looking for a more rustic camping experience (think: no bathrooms, no trash cans, no running water, no campfire rings) dispersed camping might be an option for you. Before you set out on a dispersed camping trip, please make sure you read the regulations below and understand how to do so, legally, in the Mammoth Lakes area.

Not sure where to set up camp? Use the interactive map on the Camp Like a Pro app. https://www.essrp.org/camping

Remember:
-Minimize your impact
-Have a plan for #1 and #1: there are no bathrooms in dispersed camping areas.
-Bring your own water.
-Take all of your trash home with you.
-Bring proper food storage, like a bear-proof canister.
-Drive and camp on established roads only.
-Do not camp on land that is not designated for dispersed camping.
-Know the campfire regulations at the time of your trip.
