Best Campgrounds near Inyokern, CA

Quiet place, we only saw one other set of campers. The warm sun the next morning was beautiful but there is next to no vegetation. Additionally, this campsite has nothing so take what you need and leave no trace! It worked for a night. The road in is kind of weird as it runs parallel to another road similar, we drove along one and would alternate to try and avoid bad potholes. Some are inevitable and I would imagine high clearance is needed to access.

More people right when you get past the entrance so I kept going down and found a great spot between some large rocks. Helped with the wind. Awesome sunrise and sunsets. Super quiet at night. Some off road vehicles passing by on trails during the day but to be expected. They mind their own.

Translation: Cheap, very friendly welcome, simple, park dispersed, on the edge of the lake with a view of the mountains. No electricity but toilets and water. Dump station a few miles away for $20.

Pas cher, accueil tres gentils, simple, park dispersed, au bord du lac vue sur montagnes. Pas d'électricité mais WC et eau. Station de vidage à quelques miles pour 20 $.

Went in early January 2025 with the pup. Had the place to ourselves so he got to run around. it was pretty cold and windy especially at night but when the sun came out it was s perfect. Dumpsters and bathrooms were open. Short walk to the river with spots to set chairs and swim. Water was pretty calm but I'd wait till summer because damn that was cold. Must be an airforce base nearby cause they flew by quite a bit and pretty low. It was awesome. Absolutely no cell service. Download your music or be stuck with kern county country radio.

The dirt road is worrisome, but it worked out fine with my Tesla model Y. Lots of great sites overlooking an alien planet landscape. I felt safe as a solo female camper. No AT&T service within a 10 mile radius.

This is a nice and flat area just off the 395 freeway plenty of room for large rigs. I set up and was at the base of the old volcano. I was only there for one night got super windy around 1 AM and never stopped the entire evening other than that there are some pretty unique views.

Had a nice evening right next to the Pinnacles. Easy drive in. Had my F150 and my teardrop trailer. Easy walking along with some stunning views. Worth spending a night. Found a really neat spot right in a little bowl surrounded by pinnacles. A little kitfox even wandered into my camp.

If you like to be off the grid amidst the trees this is the place for you. We like to camp next to the creek. Fishing is plentiful and the air is great as long as there’s no fires near.

We are full time RVers and stayed here 1 night after boondocking a week and heading to our next boondocking destination. This is a perfect stop to dump, fill water, do laundry and just do an overall reset of our RV. I was able to deep clean and get rid of trash. The only thing they didn't have was propane and gas but they had everything else we needed.

Booking & Space: Was easy online. $35 for pull through site for capacity up to 42'. Sites are close together but still far enough to have all slide outs out and room to walk between.

Amenities: Big trash and recycling bins were a bonus. We did 9 loads of laundry, can only load them half way and the washing drum is a little small. 3 washers, 3 dryers. All of the units used the Payrange app except 1 dryer is quarters only. The dryer drums are pretty large so we were able to just split the 3rd load between the 2 dryers that use the Payrange app. It was easy to download the app, add funds, scan the barcode of the machine, set the settings on the machine and start. The washers recommend not to use powder detergent and half the amount of liquid detergent. No coin machine for breaking down change. Also no laundry supply stuff for purchase. Overall our stuff cleaned and dried without problems. The door does get stuck and seems locked after entering the code correctly.

Check-in was easy. Just pull into our site and hook up. Check in is after 2 PM and checkout before 2 PM.

Hookups: Water pressure was good. Electrical has a meter but there's no additional charge for it. Black/Grey water dump and water spigot at each site.

Area was very quiet. No road noise and campers were also quiet. It is very well lit all night and cameras are everywhere.

Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. 3 stalls in the women's and the 3 showers for additional no charge. Each shower had 3 hooks and a seat. There is no bench or seating outside of the showers.

We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience.

We pulled off on the closest part to the road which was quiet all night really. There were other parts further up.

35.08627305276245,-117.54092669125416 Great space. Easy to find. Away from highway enough. Very windy. Great sunset and sunrise.

Pulled in on a Friday afternoon and had the whole campgrounds to ourselves, until about 7 pm. Neighbors kept noise to a minimum. We chose site #3 (back right) and it had a fairly level spot for our cars RTT. Overall, the grounds and bathrooms were very clean. Holey Meadow, across the road, is small, but very beautiful. The main road is just past that, so you will hear traffic. The Trail of a Hundred Giants is about 2 miles north and worth a visit. A section of the trail was closed due to a downed tree, but still a nice walk.

This campsite was fantastic. Access was easy with a 4x4, but may be a little tough for a 2WD car. Plenty of space for a small trailer to maneuver.

Highly recommend. Perfect for an off-road trailer or overland setup.

Very beautiful sight of the lake and mountains. Easy access from the road. Had a ton of wind and thunder so hard to move further up and away from the lake so we wherent up against the wind. Close to the road so a little noise from it, but thats what made it easy accessible as well. All in all a very nice campsite.

This place is really cool to explore. Nice star gazing too. We took our www.hitched4fun.com RZR out on the many dirt roads in the area too. Had a blast 💥.

We love lake Isabella and just discovered this free camp spot right on the beach…

This is just a parking lot to hike to the spring. From here we went to keysville to spend the night
