I loved that we had the option of chilling at the water by our site or going to the swimming hole. The water was so chill this year it was an easy innertube ride down the river into the swimming hole. (But most summers I do not recommend going down the river without a life vest.)I jumped off the rock! That was fun! But I highly recommend plugging your nose. I got all waterlogged which made the experience less fun. Campsites are close in proximity but not stacked on top of eachother. The walk-in sites go over seriously rocky terrain making a simple wagon difficult to pull!! They are also very far from the bathrooms.. The plus side of the walk-in sites is privacy from the main road. Especially if you're bad like me and my friends and are noisy late into the night and building small fires hoping no one sees LOL... Nice spot, not too much shade. Bring your canopies, lots of sunblock, and bug spray& centinela candles! The campground host is pretty easy going. There isn't much space for extra cars to park on-site, but there is free parking at the turnout across the road.

Terrible spot... We couldn't even sit at the picnic table. I spoke with the groundskeeper and showed him the pics and he said he wasn't authorized to fix anything without approval. He also said that he knows things need to be repaired at the campground but can't do anything until the say-so is yes... I don't blame this guy, it's not his fault... The place is outright disappointing... Better off at Headquarters...

River access is beautiful, but the camp host is horrible. He hardly did his job cleaning the restrooms but yet constantly drives around looking for something to say and women to talk to. I just hope all the money he was charging for early access was not getting pocketed. The old host, who was way better, never charged for getting there an hour early.

Only good thing about this campground is the river access. Pit toilets are under maintained- if you think porta pottys are bad, imagine 8x the volume baking in a tank for months on end. Wind carries the stench to neighboring sites. Camp host is nosey- does everything but his job. Walks around flashing his headlamp into everyone's site multiple times a night, yet when quiet hours came at 10pm, he ignored the people playing loud music so he could sit at a campsite with two extremely drunk women who were alone. Beyond that, there were campsites that were in clear need of repair- picnic tables that were broken, which have seemingly been a problem from a long time, given there's a review about it months ago. Seems like the camp host makes his rounds looking with women to flirt with instead of making the campground better for it's guests. Would not return here again, given the amount of options in the area.

Closed currently until further notice but there's plenty of free camping up and down Kern River.

Be warned...no shade, rocky and barren. I booked sites 5, 7, 8, 9. We ended up cancelling upon arrival and looked for another area to stay the week. Site 5 too near the restroom (smelly gusts) and rocky for tent.. Site 7 has a couple of small trees (ok). Site 8 next to 7 no trees, rocky area for tents. Sites 9-11 are a good walking distance away from parking lot and over some larger rocks (no shade). Access to river is over large rocks. No beach.

A dump of a campground. We came on a weekend in August, so it was busy. Couldn't even use the restroom because they were so filthy. Trash EVERYWHERE! We at least cleaned up the mess others had left in our campsite. Dumpsters were full. No camp host. Very poorly managed. Park service should be ashamed of themselves. This is a place that people come to drink lots of beer, make lots of noise, then leave lots of trash lying around. After driving through other campgrounds along the Kern River, this seemed to be the norm. We would have been better off finding a good spot along the side of the road to camp and not paying the $20 a night for the site. On the plus side, it did have a good location with good river and swimming access. May be a better place to stay during the week when it's less busy.
