This private resort accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups and offers multiple access options including drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in sites. Located minutes from downtown Kernville, KRS RV Resort@Camp James sits directly on the Kern River with rates ranging from $39 to $340 per night. Reservations are available, and the facility welcomes pets.
The campground features a creek running through the property that creates natural swimming holes and tubing opportunities. David H. stayed at "site 81 in our class C RV. Corner site on a creek that ran through the campground." Sites 76 through 81 offer direct river access, with reviewers noting that site 76 has a slight downward slope while sites 77 and above provide more level ground for tent camping. The grounds are shaded by mature trees, and staff rake and clean each site between guests.
River activities vary by season, with high water conditions in May and June suitable for watching kayakers and whitewater rafters navigate the rapids. Late July through August brings lower water levels ideal for inner tube floating and safe swimming with children. Fishing for trout is available directly from the property. The resort provides WiFi with streaming capability and reliable AT&T cell service. A small camp store stocks fishing gear, snacks, and basic supplies.
The facility enforces a 10 PM quiet time and offers organized activities including movie nights and bingo. Clean restrooms with coin-operated showers are centrally located, and a dump station serves RV guests. Armando C. notes "Pizza Barn delivers to you while riverside." Nearby Rivernook Campground and Camp Kernville provide additional options for those seeking different amenities. Wildlife includes bears that occasionally visit trash areas at night, so proper food storage is essential.
