Knowing this alternate route will be valuable when movies or commercials are filmed on Movie Road. The route provides a great view of the Eastern Sierras and passes by dispersed camping site #11. Site 11 is large, flat, open, and suitable for trailers. If the roads have not been recently maintained, be advised of erosion ruts.
About camping on this route:
All dispersed camping is designated to a specific site and requires a permit. A permit can be obtained online or at the Eastern Sierra Visitor Center or kiosks located on Movie Road and the main entry point in Lone Pine. Permits need to be signed and displayed on your dashboard.
The BLM has created a map showing the site numbers. However, those numbers are not used in the field, but each site is clearly marked with either a camping allowed or no camping allowed symbol on a clearly visible sign. Please be aware that all sites are first come, first served, and a permit does not guarantee you will find a site. Due to the popularity of the area, it is best to arrive early.
There are six portable restrooms throughout Alabama Hills. If you do not want to drive or walk to one, you must bring your own system to pack out human waste.
