TravelerLoved it!
I loved this site!! No phone service, but there are toilets cleaned weekly, trash, you can hike, fish, raft, I even got a bb gun in Kernville to pass a little time 😂. Gorgoeus waterfalls! Fire rings available, but no table, no drinking water, however it is a FREE site!!

GuideBeautiful place next to river
Such a beautiful place! We camped right next to the river. It was such a peaceful place and the sounds of the river right next to our camp was just heaven on earth. We stayed for 2 nights in June 2020

GuideCan be nice without the crowds
Great campground about 30 minutes north of Kernville. There is a nice general store called McNally's just 10 min short of here. We showed up on Thursday and it was nice and mellow. But then the weekend crowd showed up Friday. It got very crowded and finding a spot can get desperate. Show up early and if u can do a weekday trip, do it. I tried a little fishing but didn't catch anything. Saw some others catch a couple throw backs. The water was wonderful and low for good swimming. I'd come back for sure.
