Headquarters

We’ve been camping at Kern for over 55 years it’s perfect for families that what to get away but not too far from home. We are 3 hours away. Growing up 3 times a year best place ever

Candace, the camp host was great. The trash bin location is a little inconvenient. Water from campsite spouts was not clean. We tried to fill our shower bag but the water was clearly not clean. Access to river is not far, however, not easy to continuously go through someones campsite. This almost resulted in a major fight (physical altercation) between two families when I was there. The boundaries or rules for sites with river access should be more clear to ALL campers. Overall, the actual site was beautiful. River was beautiful! Actual campsite was great. Bear bin thing is annoying but necessary and I get it! Over all I will come back :)

Headquarters is a family favorite and has been for over 20+ years. The campsite was clean and close to the river. The river was nice and our family enjoyed ourselves. Also while camping, we always meet other families who enjoy what we do.
This year I had the pleasure of interacting with the camp host Candance, she was very nice and attentive to the campsites and restrooms, making sure they were clean and well stocked with the necessities.
We will definitely be coming back, my kids and my grandkids came so our legacy of coming to Headquarters will continue.
Thank you,
Cecelia

Good place to stay

Everything went great, the water was warm and the kids was swimming all day! Such a beautiful time me and my family had and will forever remember and cherish!

Small cute little campground. I was anticipating the water to have a little more movement but unfortunately we ended up next to standing water in 115 degree heat.

It was the best camping trip our little growing family has ever had

camp hosts were super helpful and friendly, campground was clean are nice. Even the bathrooms were clean and welcoming. Absolutely recommend it!

Friendly staff. Located right on the river. You could see the Milky Way at night and lots of shooting stars. Try to get a spot that borders the river though. You don't want to be bordering in the road. Also be careful about being too close to the bathroom. It can smell. Also, check ahead of time if you can have fires.

This was our first camping trip with our 1yr old grandson, we were looking forward to it for a very long time. There was one night where a rowdy group of people two sites down who played very loud music and sang loudly and shouted and conversed until 10pm.
This went unnoticed on the Hosts duty to maintain order.
Our little grandson could not go to sleep and had a very restless night!!!
We know noises can go from 8am-10pm but gave some consideration especially if you see that your neighbors have a baby!!
The hosts did nothing about!!
