I love the ease of access of this campground and camping right next to the Kern River. I camped at site 007 in February and despite the cold weather, the smell from the bathroom next to the site was still pretty strong. It wasn’t a big problem since I was away from the site during the day - I imagine the smell would be worse in the warmer months. The site will be fine, just find things to do elsewhere during the day.

Great central location and cute babbling brook next to campsite. No service, but great being off the grid. Recommend this campground!
