Walker Pass Campground

Perched at an elevation of 5,047 feet, Walker Pass Campground offers a unique escape into the rugged beauty of the Southern Sierras. Located right at the junction of the Owens Peak and Cache Peak segments of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, this site is a prime destination for those looking to immerse themselves in a semi-arid landscape defined by pinyon pines and scattered Joshua trees. The area provides outstanding, expansive views of the dry, mountainous foothills that characterize this high-desert region.

This is a primitive, year-round BLM campground designed for those who enjoy a true back-to-basics experience. The facility features eleven walk-in sites specifically designated for Pacific Crest Trail hikers and tent campers, along with two sites suitable for car camping. On-site amenities are simple and functional, including fire rings and picnic tables for your convenience.

Because this is a primitive site without hookups, it is best suited for tent campers, backpackers, and self-sufficient car campers who prefer quiet, remote surroundings over modern resort-style parks. Whether you are trekking along the Pacific Crest Trail or simply seeking a serene spot to stargaze, Walker Pass provides an authentic and accessible high-desert camping experience.
