Of the campgrounds along the upper Kern River this one has a few more shaded sites and us a little closer to town. Nice swim area along the river

A photo was not available to inspect the campsites that I selected. Thankfully we were able to move to other sites to some shade.

Someone was in our spot even though we made reservations. Our spot was made to look like it was closer to the river and it was right by the road. They should provide better pictures of where the spots are

Nice rustic campground. Tight spots, but we were able to squeeze in our 23’ trailer. No Verizon service, but only a five minute drive to the cute town of Kernville where we could connect at the nice park on the river, or at the local brewery.
Pit toilets weren’t very good (clean, just very old). Sad to see a fair amount of litter around the campground, which I found myself picking up (wish the camp host cared more).

Wonderful location, great separate area for tents. Loved the creek, views, and sky full of stars.
