Our regular spot

We have two regular go to camping and adventure spots outside of Los Angeles, Joshua Tree NP and Kernville. We love to come up to Kernville to fish the Kern, kayak, and just generally escape. Kern River’s Edge, which is right on the river, has been our go to spot and it continues to be a great place to camp. The camp host team, who been here for several seasons are great and the owner checked in on us to make sure we were having a good visit. It’s clean, well run, in a great location and one of the better camp grounds we’ve stayed in in our journeys around the USA.
