Great location close to the river. Better to have dump station and water hookup.

Good small campground with lots of access points to kern River for specific sites. Would enjoy a specific communal area for river access as all locations feel like they are “owned” by specific sites.
Facilities are good. Wonderful campground hosts.

The campground has always been great. The host, Mark is awesome and has been there for years. The only gripe I have is that the last few years, the fishing has sucked! We pay license fees to fish and the Govt is supposed to stock it, well. They stocked it but from what I heard around the “grapevine” is it isn’t very much fish. I hope they do a better job or I will be going to the other side of the sierras to fish.
