Headquarters

The new host at the headquarters camp site was nice and approachable.

This spot is right at the t-intersection of that roundabout. It's a large spot and It's a shame that they have a 2 tent limit because our entire group (4 tents) could have stayed in the one spot. We had to rent a second spot because of this policy.

However, despite our best planning and picking a spot we thought would avoid this, we could smell the toilet. There wasn't enough blue stuff so instead of smelling chemicals we were subjected to the worst possible odor.

The toilets were disgusting. It smelled so bad. And what we had to look at was stomach-turning. Assuming that the toilets should be serviced every day as the chart in there indicated, it was not being done. Toilet paper wasn't being replaced, there was poop on the floor and the wall. By the end of our stay, there was toilet paper and beer bottles strewn about; not just down inside the toilet but in the bathroom where the camp host could easily have picked them up.

Are there budget issues with the supplier of the blue stuff? Is it really this much of a problem to adequately provide the one amenity offered? We will never return to this campground.

I have pictures, of the glass bottles in the bathrooms, the poop on the wall and the dusty chart that served only as decoration. If someone contacts me to ask for them, I'll know you're taking my review seriously.

This camping experience makes us want to try the private campgrounds. It's unfortunate, because we always buy an annual pass to support the parks.

This spot is closer to the road than their map indicates; which is pretty loud during the day. And even though there's less traffic at night, the large trucks will wake you as they go by. The spot was decent all by itself. We did have a slanted table. We had to prop our stove up with a cutting board so pans wouldn't slide off.

However, the worst parts were that there were no showers. That's on us, we should have checked - we just assumed they'd have them.

But worst of all, there wasn't enough blue stuff in the toilets and it made a decent camp trip into one where we DREADED having to answer the call of nature.

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.

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.

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.
