I'm thinking towing any kind of trailer all the way to the end of the dirt road to the Bristlecones (and the Patriarch Grove) would be a long, hot, slow trip. There are a few nice turnouts along the way where one could set up a rudimentary camp. Here is a link to a trip we did in the XTC's: it has some pix of the turnouts:

For a shorter trip, why not hook up and go up to the end of road (or near) toward Mount Pinos?
Or up Apache Canyon? It's plenty lonely out there. We camped all around there, summer or winter in the 1970's and 80's. I had a backpacking buddie that had a cabin in 'Parque du Fraz-ee-ay' (Frazier Park) we used as a base camp. We also collected the best firewood ever up there: pickled Pinyon. What great stuff. Alas we have no pickled Pinyon picking presently and must use Oak, Fir, and Manzanita to make heat in our home on the West Slope.
