Nice hosts, ok camp sites
What really made this site better than just okay were the camp hosts. They made a point to come around and introduce themselves to us, help us out with whatever we needed, and were really just nice people. Clearly they love this place and that little interaction definitely made the whole experience sweeter. The place itself was fine, the lake was gorgeous as well as the surrounding views. It was $12, not $10 to spend the night, or really do anything else, but it was easy to pay. You need a card though, there’s a little box for it. There are two bathrooms and sites everywhere, some spickets too in places. The bathrooms were fine, pretty clean with toilet paper. The site is right next to a busy road so it’s not super quiet. You need a permit to have a fire or a stove, but it’s easy to get online. Solid place to crash, not sure if it’s worth $12. But it works and the people are kind!!

Nice
Pulled in late. We couldn’t see much but the stars were beautiful. It was by the road but not to many cars came by. In the morning we saw the lake and it was so pretty with the sun gleaming off of the water. The bathrooms were gross in both the boys and the girls. There was a pit toilet though. Overall it was a nice campground.
Lake baby!
I love pitching a tent and waking up to a beautiful lake especially when your right on the water! First come first serve and Launching access anywhere pretty much! Kernville lake Isabella is the place!
