Headquarters CG is an easy to find, close to town type of camping area, that sits on the beautiful Kern River.
You get to experience the sun setting behind the monstrous mountain and waking to the sun rising over a boulder-like hill.
Stargazing is fantastic, it's quiet and relaxing. I did not get the Host's name, but He was awesome.
We'll be back in the Summer.

Camp host was friendly, knowledgeable and reasonable. The site was excellent. We have stayed before. This time we stayed in a yurt, just for the fun novelty. It worked out well. Very good camp ground.

Site 11 is close to the toilet, and the odor and flies are noticeable. Not much screening vegetation between sites at this part of the campground. Road noise was also nearby. Host was very kind and gave me driving directions. Bird life in the campground was exceptional. Bear box was too hard for me to open- I am 69 and my hands didn't have the strength to pull the lever; seems like a bad design.
