"We tent camped and our site was close to the rv hook up sites. The rv sites have two different sizes and hookups. Tent sites had access to running water."
"We loved this river spot even though we were next to one of the smaller parts rather than the main river. If you can try and get one near the main river as it is more picturesque. "
"This small roadside campground is a lovely spot, tucked between a hillside and Deer Creek running year round right at the edge of the campground."
"There is a market close by Incase you forgot something, when you go back on the road make a right and at the intersection make another fight and ir should take you to the market."
$39 - $340 / night
"Our family has been going to Camp James for over 10 years, and it's easily our favorite campground in California. The campsites are clean, shaded by trees, and it's right on the riverfront."
"All sites are well kept, with access to clean bathrooms and coin operated showers. Staff is friendly and available when needed. Prices are a tad high but expected with a clean upscale Campground."
"Each site is private-ish and they won’t be walking through your site to drop in, you’ll just see groups of people float by your area, once they drop in close to the first site on the north end."
"There's great access to the national forest and the little town of Kernville is so cute and friendly."
"Next to stream. Then if you continue on you will hit a 4 mile off road (my Corolla/any sedan OK) and see great views and waterfall! Nice!"
"The area is secluded and away from kern campgrounds where you will see a lot of people. You will have some people checking out the area or driving in but for us they all left."
$32 - $34 / night
"A small, quiet campground that’s good for groups of 2-4 people since the sites are close to each other."
"The campsites are close to each other and is the only reason I did not mark this as 5 stars. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are in the first section/small loop and are up a slight hill and have a smaller bathroom. 5 and"
"Regardless they were gorgeous tucked in spots among the trees. Woke up to cattle walking through the meadow we parked next to."
"This camping site is a nice free area super close to the Giants Trail entrance (5 minute drive). As you head in you go thru a little dirt road and at the end you see an opening for this site."
$34 - $36 / night
"Easily accessed campground located right on the Kern River in the lower Sequoia Forest. No service, running water, or electricity, but there is vault toilets and dogs are allowed."
"The lsites are not as close to the river as Brush Creek campground, but still closer than Fairview, which is down the road.
Facilities. There are vault toilets."
"You can park RVs right next to the water but it gets very busy, there are more secluded spots accessible to even Class A rigs further down."
"Access to the river is closed as of 26 January, still plenty of dispersed places down the road to camp. Bathrooms and trash dump and lots of trails to ride bikes!"
$34 - $147 / night
"Camp 3 is a good location if you can book it quickly outside of the Summer months."
"desired (lots of trash, half the sites are extremely rocky / sandy with little shade, some sites have rotting or broken picnic benches and very little privacy, and there is only one place for trash upon exit"
ScoutThis area is in the Wild & Scenic Kern River. Camping is only allowed In designated locations. Our site was perfect for our Overlander Suburban with a beautiful view of the river from inside our rig! Free and has trash dumpsters.
GuideQuiet and you feel engulfed in the forest. Road is winding and narrow, takes about 20 min from base of mountain to get there and no service but very beautiful! Lots of other campers and fishing pond near. Chilly near night and morning.
TravelerMy little family & I had a great experience tent camping here at Camp Nelson, Trudy showed lovely hospitality & we made some new friends, the campground is really clean & peaceful. There’s a nice little creek/waterfall on site and pond, we will definitely be coming back.
ScoutVery clean grounds. Friendly staff. Will come back. -1 star only because Tent sites are just dirt and RV sites are just gravel. Other I’d say 5 stars. Regardless will be back
TravelerFor $32, you can get a site off the river and have a little camping pit and picnic table and you’re around other RVs and it’s good. I opted for locating a self created campsite in the area off the beaten path. It might not be allowed, but I was gone by 7 AM and I was super quiet. And I think that’s the thing if you’re super quiet and you’re gone early then probably not a problem. But if you’re planning to bring your camper to one of those secluded spots and making a lot of noise, then you may want to just get a $32 spot.
TravelerShort drive from 395 and once the road became dirt it was easily navigable in our Promaster. No one else there. Nice wide open views. It was extremely windy with 50+mph gusts which calmed after the sun went down.
ScoutWe stayed at this wonderfull RV Park last week. The park is right on the river, clean and in wonderful condition. There is a sandy beach with water access. The park is right near downtown and you can walk to cafe's, bakery, shops and market. Hope to return soon.
GuideWell, for PCT lovers like myself it’a definitely a place worth staying and have a little time off to meet some hikers and enjoy the peacefullness. There are restrooms but any flowing water available. The space is pretty tight there too, but it’s managable.
GuideThe spot is definitely good to simply stay over the night and move on quickly. Not much around, but definitely quiet and with lots of space.
