Great Site, wonderful access to the river and not too busy for Thanksgiving weekend. Our site says it's supposed to have electricity but it did not actually have a plug.

Peace and quiet. Friendly camp host and helpful also! Close to the river and practically next door to a general store and burger stand whose staff members are very helpful and friendly. Plenty of places to fish, camp, hike, or just hang around camp and drink beer! First time here and I love the view and time here.

Pleasant enough place, but in many of the campsites there’s a serious lack of shade.

Beautiful campground and friendly hosts. Knocking a star off because the hosts were watching a movie outside with verrrrry loud speakers at night which really took away from the camping experience and we would have chosen another camp ground if we had known.

Clean and convenient campground. Camp host was friendly. Walking distance to McNallys for a great lunch or dinner.

Pros:
- great camp host, helpful and informative. Regularly checks facilities for restocking.
- great night sky view on all sites. Some light spill on the nearby McNally’s but all good nonetheless.
- sites were fairly large and flat. You can set your tent pretty much anywhere you need.
- accessible Kern River at any point in the campground. Some sites are prime and next to the river.
Cons:
- definitely variable, but had loud neighbors and quiet hours weren’t enforced. Nearby sites were still on pumped out music until 2300.
- our site had lingering wasps and preparing food was a hassle.
