Summary
The campground is nestled in the Kern River Valley and offers visitors breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the river. There are several nearby points of interest including the Trail of 100 Giants, Lake Isabella, and the Kern River Preserve.
The campground amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and potable water. The campground operates on a first-come-first-served basis and has 22 campsites available. An interesting fact about the area is that it is home to the endangered Sierra Nevada red fox.
