Guide to Edison

Located east of Bakersfield, Edison sits in Kern County where seasonal temperatures range from 110°F in summer to near freezing in winter. Camping options include established campgrounds with water access, primitive sites in the Sequoia National Forest, and glamping accommodations with modern amenities. The area averages less than 6 inches of rainfall annually, making it suitable for year-round camping trips.

What to do

Float the Kern River: Visitors to Camp Three Campground can enjoy easy river access for tubing and swimming. "From these gems, the river is just a short, 1 or 2 minute walk to the River... the river was a lot closer - all great for larger groups and especially those with children," notes Kim.

Fresh produce experience: The Edison area offers unique agricultural opportunities beyond typical camping. "Super clean in all aspects. Smells like oranges! Fantastic fruit stand next door," shares Tommy B. about his stay at Orange Grove RV Park.

Mountain hiking: The elevation change provides diverse terrain for hikers of all levels. "Tehachapi Mountain Park is best known for its hiking trail to the top of Tehachapi's highest peak. But also has cabins available for rent," explains Mike Z., highlighting activities beyond standard camping.

What campers like

Riverfront sites: Proximity to water is highly valued in this arid region. "The River next to the campground is also easily accessed and great for all levels of play," explains a camper at Headquarters Campground, which offers "plenty of shade (which is rare for the area)."

Campground amenities: Many locations offer comfort features not typically found in rustic settings. "Clean bathrooms with full showers, a pool, splashpad and water play area. They have these weird Banana bikes which were fun," notes Andrea R. about Lake Isabella-Kern River KOA.

Natural shade: Trees provide essential relief from intense sun. "The campground itself is basic with vault toilets dispersed throughout... Our site had a water hookup, a picnic table, a fire ring," reports Mark at Tehachapi Mountain Park, where pines provide natural cooling.

What you should know

Weather preparation: Summer temperatures frequently exceed 100°F while winter nights can drop below freezing. "We stayed during the summer months. It had plenty of shade, was large enough to fit our huge cabin tent and still have extra space," explains Tyler F. at Camp Three Campground.

Water availability: Natural water sources fluctuate seasonally. "The lake isn't that great. But they are improving their facility. Running water and restrooms are available. Spots available near the water," explains Mike Z. about Brite Lake.

Cell service limitations: Communication can be spotty throughout the region. "This is a great primitive campground if you truly want to disconnect for a few days. No cell reception, no WiFi, there are restrooms but no showers," notes Mike N. about his stay at Camp Three.

Tips for camping with families

Splash features: Brite Lake Aquatic Recreation Area offers water recreation despite swimming restrictions. "Our family stayed here for 2 nights. We enjoyed our time but the kids were disappointed they couldn't touch the water at the lake. I brought a small plastic pool for them to get wet in at our site because it was hot," advises Charlotte R.
