Camp Three Campground

It’s a nice location, we were fortunate to have a few trees around us, helped with August heat. River is a bit difficult to get to from our spot. Hiking a bit. It could be a bit difficult for older folks or anyone with a physical disability. River was great, fun as ever. Not crowded, we went during the week. Bathrooms are vault toilets, about as good as vault toilets get. Cleaned every morning, but still a vault toilet.

Unfortunately it was very hot and I was disappointed we could not use the fire pit. The spot we had was very rocky and virtually no trees for shade. The staff onsite were friendly and accomodating!

Nice clean place near the river. Parking spots are not all the same size so beware taking a trailer and a vehicle .

The campsite overall is a decent one, if very hot in the summer.

I don't, however, recommend staying at site 52, which is right next to the main dumpster for the whole camp (the dumpster is not listed on the campsite map). Apparently, there's no trash pickup over the weekend and by Friday, when we arrived, the dumpster was already full, and the trash smell would waft through our site when the wind blew the right way. The camp manager asked us to make sure other campers weren't leaving trash on top of the closed (or full) dumpster, leading to a confrontation with another guest. We were very careful with our own food, and didn't see any signs of bears at our site, though we did see coyotes digging through the dumpster one night.

Camp hosts were fantastic, but unfortunately the campground was overrun with people. We had 15+ Non invited visitors walk through our campsite in 24 hours, none wore masks and none asked if they could walk through our camp. The Kern River by our campsite was filled with drunken floaters by 10 am on Saturday swearing up a storm and leaving trash to float down the river. I saw a few questionable brown floaties that looked like human feces. The bathrooms were clean when we arrived on Friday but were trashed by Sunday morning. The campsite had lots of trash all over including small and large bits of glass. The location is beautiful and the stars at night were stunning. Overall, the campground and Kern River could be lovely but I wouldn’t come back again during the summer of Covid 2020. Think Spring break Covid Party on the Kern River rather than calm outdoor experience...

Linda was awesome at helping us with a propane grill, since the charcoal and fire was not allowed. Her hospitality was incredible, and I will be back as I love this campground.
Thanks Linda for being so awesome

very good place to go camping

Need more trees. Could do fires. Right on kern river.

Unnecessary boulders everywhere. Right in the middle of tent pads. Needs more shade, bring a easy up for sure. Right on kern river so that helps with the heat. Loud jets fly by at least 6x a day.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Camp Three. Site 47 is larger than most of the other sites. It has direct access to the river, which was calm enough to wade out to the middle and relax during the heat of the day. Clean restrooms and water were available nearby. The site itself had a lot of ants, and a skunk lived there too! There were a couple of trees for shade and privacy, but not enough shade to keep our whole setup from getting blasted by the sun. Bring easy-ups.
