Came here to fish off the kern river. It was flowing to fast to fly fish unfortunately due to
Snow melt. Bad timing. Otherwise a perfect place to fly fish

Had a great time, great place to camp. Found the best site in the camp ground. I would recommend that you bring your own toilet paper with you. 1 ply does not work well, it's rough.

Very clean and well maintained. Host was present and very helpful. Patrolled during a flash flood warning late one evening. Excellent

The river was flowing at an all time high, May 2023. While we were not able to enjoy the water we did enjoy the endless natural noise machine. The camp bathrooms are just pit toilets but fairly clean. The camp host often forgets to refill the toilet paper so be prepared to supply your own.

The picnic table at 27C was a broken pile of pieces and unusable. The campground was a bit thrashed. The host seemed like a nice guy, but I've been camping there for years and was bummed out that the place was looking pretty rough.

We have a few remarks:
- our spot, which we reserved a few months ago was occupied. The camping host made a mistake by giving the other people this spot.
- there was a guy named Aaron, who told us he was family of the host, that was very intrusive and kept invading our personal space trying to manage things with no purpose. He had no name tag or campground clothing.
- we went on a hike and took the RV with us. We left the chairs and table at our spot, like all the other guests, and after 3 hours we came back and our stuff was gone.
Nobody had seen anything..
Overall this gave us an unsafe feeling at this campground.

Beautiful clean campground where you can easily walk to the general store for more supplies. Site 11 was great for tent camping! Very large. Site 12 for an RV was not optimal. I would not book site 12 again.
