Nice campground by the stream. Great place, wish the other campgrounds had been open. Only negative is Kern River close to the campground is very barren for fishing, guess that is what you get with year around fishing during Covid

Great location on the Kern River. The pit toilets were very clean and cleaned early every morning. Drive into the mountains for the best hikes, trail of 100 giant Sequoias, dome rock, and a short hike to a fabulous waterfall Nobe!
The weekend partiers were a little annoying but not awful.

Everything was very nice, wish there were more fish in the river at headquarters, but overall, great trip. Mark was very nice and knowledgeable.
