Headquarters is a beautiful campground along the banks of the Kern River. The site has clean vault restrooms. trimmed and healthy trees, and nearby stores & restaurants a couple miles away in Kernville. Access to fishing along the river or Lake Isabella is convenient.

the host was super friendly and patient, he mentioned that glass is allowed so don’t take glass, the place is ok, there is a river really close to the campground, a lot of trees, and a lot of wildlife, I liked it

I love everything about this campsite. The website should be updated to read "water may be turned of from October to ???, to alleviate potential pipe issues. I had no problems because I always bring my own water, but our friends were not prepared.

We have a 35’ motorhome and while they said there is a 30’ length we had plenty of room in our campsite. This is a very nice campground. Unfortunately, there are no RV amenities. The campground surroundings were beautiful. There are only a few areas with access to the water and only one with a small beach area. We will definitely be coming back.
