Top-notch camping on the Kern River! It's fun for all ages. Family friendly. Clean, clean, clean! We could not have asked for a better experience for a multi-campsite family camping trip. - Tracy D. 9/22/25

Best location in Kernville! Beach right on the river and so clean & organized. Jennifer is so friendly and helpful with all the information about the amenities. I stay here regularly with a return planned soon! - Morgan S. 10/20/25

This was our 3rd year visit to this camp ground. We found the camp site to be kept very clean and quiet. This was an enjoyable experience As always. The campground has a great location and is walking distance from the town. There is a small beach front by the river. The market and gas station is a hop, skip and a jump by vehicle. Many antique stores and places to eat and have coffee or ice cream. We will be returning next year. Highly recommended! - Paul N. 11/16/25

We have been going to Camp Kernville for 2 years now to ring in the New Year. From booking to registration to checking in has been so easy. The office staff is always so accommodating. You will always find the staff out making sure the grounds are impeccable. This campground is in walking distance to literally everything. The Kern River behind it is just an added plus. We look forward to booking during the summer. - Cory M. 1/4/26

You stayed here over a long weekend. We have been going to the Kern River for several years. This is our first time at Camp Kernville and we were very satisfied. There was plenty of room for our 32 foot motorhome plus a trailer and for our teenagers to have fun. There are large trees and plenty of shade for everyone who wants it. We were just steps away from the river and a sandy beach accessible to the campers. The water right in front of camp Kernville is very calm and safe for everyone. The other campers were mostly families and friendly. The park enforces the quiet time at night and it made for a restful sleep. Registration was a breeze. A particular shout out to Jennifer who was very helpful to us. Thank you so much for the nice stay. - Juana Melgoza 8/2025
