Great campground! River access is super convenient and the river was calm along that stretch.

Love Headquarters Campground! we've gone now 4 times in last 3 years. We love Loop C all the back sites. We use site 13 the most. Great access to the river. It's our own little oasis. The grounds are clean and hosts are great. We have never had any problems. We brought our grandkids and nephews this visit. This site is great for the kids. they can play in the water without worrying about the rapids on the other side of "island". We are making this our annual vacation spot.

Had site 20, the beach entrance was right in front of us. Family had a great time, if you go tubing walk up the road to the next campsite and you’ll see a sign that says ‘River Entrance.’ It’s a fun ride back to your campsite.

Campsites are very small. Limited shade on most sites. Sadly, there was a lot of trash and litter laying around. Our site was visited constantly by skunks who were unafraid of people. Great location on the Upper Kern.

The camp host was very confrontational. I had reserved two sites for Wednesday through Saturday and leaving Sunday am. I couldn’t make it on Wednesday so I showed up on Thursday. He told me I was a day late before even saying hello! Other things happened between the camp host and my friends. He was accusatory without any evidence and threatened my friend that he’ll see to it that he’ll never get a spot there again. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.
