Bishop Field Office
The Bishop Field Office cares for a unique vestige of wild California, emphasizing conservation, education and partnerships. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the 750,000 acres of your BLM public lands we are entrusted to manage.
The Alabama Hills are a formation of rounded rocks and eroded hills set between the jagged peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the geologically complex Inyo Mountains. Visitors enjoy touring film sites, photography, rock climbing, exploring natural arches, and viewing the swaths of wildflowers that bloom every spring.
Tuttle Creek Campground is located next to the Alabama Hills NSA and offers 83 RV/tent sites, with ten pull-through trailer spaces, and a dump station. All sites include a fire pit, picnic table and a lantern holder. No hook-up. Potable water is available seasonally.
This campground offers stunning views of Crowley Lake and the Glass Mountains to the east. To the west is the Sierra Nevada mountains and McGee Mountain and Canyon. Popular activities include lake and stream fishing, boating, windsurfing, horseback riding, hiking, and wildlife viewing.
