Camp Kernville

As always it was a great experience! Staff is always polite, friendly and so helpful. The campgrounds are always clean and organized. I’m excited to see what comes of the construction but so far the upgrades look very nice. Always one of our favorite places to stay!

Great location! Nice, clean park but very expensive for the off season. The limited staff that we interacted with was friendly but assigned us a 50amp site when we requested a 30amp and then would not let us borrow an adapter but rather gave us options to switch sites (after we were completely setup) or buy an adapter from them. Not a huge deal but for the price paid and the fact that barely anyone was there, it was annoying. I can see why it’s a popular park…again excellent location…but if we return to Kernville we might try a different park.

Our stay at Camp Kernville from November 22nd through November 26th was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the staff takes immense pride in maintaining a clean, welcoming, and family-friendly environment.

We rented an RV through the campground, and it exceeded every expectation. The RV was spotless, perfectly positioned with one of the best views in the park, and fully stocked with water and gas throughout our stay—never a single interruption in service. The campsite itself was equally well maintained with absolutely no trash in sight.

The accommodations and location were incredible, far surpassing what we anticipated. The restrooms and showers were newly remodeled, consistently maintained, always clean, and the water was warm every time we used them. It was obvious that they are cleaned regularly, which made a huge difference in comfort.

The roads within the campground were freshly graded and smooth, making it easy to get around. Before our arrival, the staff made sure our site was fully prepared, including all of our requests—firewood waiting for us and even a custom-made firepit/grill, which was an awesome touch. Throughout our visit the staff remained friendly, accessible, and attentive, ensuring every need was met.

We were especially impressed by the world-class hospitality. The team provided excellent recommendations for local dining options (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), as well as tips for fishing spots and the best local attractions. Their suggestions helped us make the absolute most of our trip.

After touring all of the nearby campgrounds during our stay, we can confidently say Camp Kernville stands above the rest. It was the only one with a sand beach and the only campground we felt was 100% family-friendly. The combination of cleanliness, safety, and the attentive staff made us extremely happy with our choice.

We will definitely be back! Camp Kernville earns our highest recommendation.

We had a great time. Thank you Jennifer for making our stay memorablea.

Camp Kernville is a small, quiet, private, and clean campground. Their customer service was amazing. When we arrived, our site was in direct sunlight, and temperatures were in the 100s. I asked if there was any way we could move to another site, and they accommodated us to a site with some shade. We were very thankful for that. They are dog friendly and have a really cute pet area that our dog put to use while we were there. If you dont use the pet area, please be a responsible pet owner and clean up after your dogs. The public restrooms were excellent. Always clean, always well stocked, and with great showers! Even though we have an RV with a shower, I enjoyed their showers. They also have a private beach area with river access that was incredible. Just a few steps away from every site. You can bring your own canopy and set up in front of the river. Just make sure to get up early, especially on the weekend, because it gets a little busy. It's not too bad, but just get there early. If you don't have a canopy, they rent out designated riverfront canopys as well. It's super convenient if you dont have a canopy or you simply dont want to go through the hassle of waking up early and setting one up yourself. We spent most of our time at the river, and again, we are very grateful that they still allow dogs on the beach. Because of irresponsible dog owners, they are thinking of banning dogs from the beach area. So again, please be responsible and dont ruin it for everyone else. Overall, this was a fantastic campground and a fabulous experience. We will be back soon!
