We had a group of 10, so we were lucky enough to reserve sites #11 & #14. It worked out perfectly because the two sites were side by side, and near the restroom. The restroom was far enough where it didn’t bother us with other campers walking by, nor did it smell. The restroom was clean and was stocked daily by the friendly camp host. The only downside was it was a single standing vault restroom.
Our sites were also close enough to the river, maybe 100 feet(?) The water was still flowing pretty heavily and high, so we couldn’t really get in. We weren’t too far from Isabella Lake either, so we took the short drive and got in the water there.
We did venture into town on Sunday for Father’s Day. Kernville is a short 3-4 mile drive from the campground and you can always pick up last minute or forgotten supplies.
There is no cell service at the campground, but only a short distance (.5 mi) to the closest store there is.
Our group will definitely be coming back to Headquarters campground. Hopefully the water will be at a safer level and flow to jump in the next time.

The site we reserved was super close to another site and there was a big crowd on that site. The table was in disrepair and the top was disgusting and unusable. The restrooms were not clean. The smoke from campfires as really thick all evening. This is the worst campground we have stayed at in years. I hope funds are allocated to redo this campground as the location is really nice.

If you plan to go in February, make sure to pack warm clothes since it gets cold at night. The site during this time was quite empty which we liked. Very nice that the site is near the river too.

Well kept, clean campground next to a little creek. There are a couple cute, old fashioned towns nearby with some restaurants, bars, and thrifts which was a nice getaway from the rain. Highly recommend going at the end of fall, the river was beautiful with all the leaves changing colors!
