Nice campground by the stream. Great place, wish the other campgrounds had been open. Only negative is Kern River close to the campground is very barren for fishing, guess that is what you get with year around fishing during Covid

Terrific campground. The drive up along the river was beautiful, and we had a nice site along the river.
