    We made this location for our first stop with our new travel trailer. On the recommendation from a…read morefriend, this turned out the be a great find. Located about 70 mile north and east of Bakersfield at around 2500 feet evaluation this little hidden gem was a blast. We arrived on Friday around 3:00. The office located at the top off the hill once you get on the property is a small place where the owner stays from time to time. The RV spots are a nice size so you don't get the feeling you're looking in someones bedroom. Lots of shade trees on most of the spots. It has several tent locations that have a hose bib and fire ring. Most of the spots are full hookup. They do have bathrooms and showers in a few locations on the property. We saw kids riding their bikes around the Village. Several people giving it a go at the catch and release fishing pond. On this trip we wanted to get use to our new trailer and set things up. We did decide to go over to the trail of 100 giants which is about 17 curvy miles away. If you haven't been it is a must see. The trail is paved which makes really easy to walk or it someone is in a wheel chair they can enjoy the 1/2 mile walk as well. We did travel to Camp Nelson for lunch adn could have stopped at the Ponderosa, fyi they have food as well. If you are pulling a trailer make sure you fill up in Ducor as you will use some gas climbing the winding road. The temps were about 10 to 15 degrees less than Bakersfield. We will diffidently make this trip again in the fall.

    Nice place close to home. People super friendly. Creek is fun to wade in and explore.read more

    I camp everywhere. This campsite is by far the most beautiful I have ever seen. I'm talking about a…read morecampsite layout .. this spot is a 1/2 mile long dirt road off the pavement .. a road that takes you into the forest, a forest that happens to have benches and pits. This is a nature lovers paradise, if you're not a whiner. No running water, sounds natural Lots of flying insect, sounds natural No electricity or lighting, sounds natural My point, it's called camping and getting away from the city I encountered cows, Deer, wood peckers and other nature residents. I came prepared and enjoyed nature at its best. The restrooms are clean, the sites are shady and surrounded by fur trees, every 20 ft was a tree.. you can't even see my truck in the shade under the giant. Would recommend, I just don't want it full and booked when I need it..

    Beautiful and quiet campground! We booked this for memorial day weekend as it was the last…read morecampground in California for the 3 day weekend. You will be driving in onto a dirt road that can get a little wobbly from the water runoff, but once inside, there are about 10 camp spots that are enclosed in beautiful tall trees. To the right is a beautiful meadow that catches the morning dew with the sunrise. Pack in your own drinking and washing water as this campground is primitive with no running water. Don't be concerned about the toilets, as the camp host is great about keeping it spotless. One quick note though is that the host does not sell firewood at this campsite, so be prepared to drive two sites down to pick some up. Its a 5 min drive to the Trail of 100 Giants, which is an easy stroll. 10/10 would come back again!

    A very nice spot to camp and its a 2 -5 minute walk to the river. You can bring your RV but there…read moreare no electrical or water hook ups . Plenty of space to tent . There is running water from a faucet at the camp spot , toilets and hot showers . And they do keep it clean and provide toilet paper . Now, if you are part of a big group of campers you might want to get a site that's further out of the camp site near the river or the fields because of noise. If you are loud enough, your neighbors will hear you or you will hear them and can cause problems between camps especially during quiet time. Respect the quiet time which is at 10pm. My camp is loud, we play music and clown around and have good fun, and sometimes it might bother other campers, so I would book a site near the ends of the camp site where there are no campers behind you . Other than that, this is a really great place to camp . There is a convenient store a mile away but everything there is overpriced but convenient. This campground is infested with friendly squirrels that will beg for food or eat your scraps. Try not to feed them .

    Campground is actually pretty nice and well maintained. Its right along the river and has a nice…read moreview. There are plenty of hiking and bike riding trails connected to it. The Ranger was nice when I had a minor issue. The hours of the Rangers office are only till 5 PM I think. Why only 3 Stars? My experience at this campground was not as expected. - There was a group who decided to make the campground one big party and were blasting their music for the whole campground to hear. Many times they would ride around the loop blasting their music for everyone to hear as well. I guess they thought it was cool. They weren't young by any means. They were on scooters too, so not like they were trying to get exercise out of it. - Many folks decided it was alright to drive the wrong way around the loop, despite there being large signs that say "WRONG WAY, DO NOT ENTER". - I had many folks hanging out in my campsite since it was next to the water. I guess they either don't know of campground etiquette or don't care. I always thought you "don't" walk through someone else's campsite.

    This campground is not closed. It's normally open from the middle of May to the middle of October…read more I am the camp host for this summer season and am doing my best to make campers feel welcome here. This is situated in a Sequoia grove, with a creek running thru it and a river next to it. There are 4 hiking trails close by. The campground is a mile from Camp Nelson. Two small grocery stores and two restaurant/bars are near. Residents are quite friendly and helpful. No cell service so it takes maps to find anything up here. Most importantly, the temperatures tend to be 20° cooler than in the valleys below.

    We loved this campsite! The sites are well-spaced, the campground is clean, and quiet (We reserved…read more#9 & #10). The creek that flows through the campground is ice-cold, and makes for a beautiful hike (My husband even caught a small trout)! The bathrooms were kept relatively clean for pit toilets, and clean water is provided from a spigot (to rinse dirty dishes, or kids!). There is a super convenient little general store in Camp Nelson, which is the closest town. Just a beautiful place, with Sequoias sprinkled throughout! You will wake up every morning, glad you're there. The camp host (I believe his name is Dan), was super chill and very helpful when we asked about local sights, and hikes. The only con right now is the fire restriction in effect for the whole area, so that means NO campfires (I got a Campfire Permit beforehand, which is required, but was not inspected). It's a very shady campground during the day, and it gets pretty chilly at night, not to mention very dark. Just make sure you have a propane stove/grill/firepit, and some lanterns/headlamps/flashlights you'll be good to go! *Trail of 100 Giants is a must see, though it's a 22 mile winding drive from the campground*
