I've only ever reserved campsites in Lone Pine Campground and Whitney Portal Campground ahead of time. I'm curious if anyone has any experience with the campsites that are first-come, first-served? Do you literally just show up, and if it's empty, take it? Is there a specific time (like a check-in/check-out time) that you have to follow? I'm guessing there must be some sort of payment box somewhere? Can you stay in that spot for multiple days?
Any info that anyone has is much appreciated. Thanks!
