The grounds are very much in need of some TLC. The sites are spacious and our group was placed together - which made spending time together easy...and fun. They are on top of the maintenance and the bathrooms/showers are quite impressive. My hopes - before returning next year (and writing an updated, very positive review) - is that the owners invest a bit of money in landscaping. Even if it is just tilling the sites. Get rid of the coarse weeds and level it off. So much potential. We will be back!

The restroom and shower facility is in one very clean and well maitnance. This campground have a volleyball park and rock climbing? But I didn't see it tho.. maybe it's just me. Ahh the night the group was here for camping, we were able to see the milk way when the campground was dark with just the campground fire at our site. It was amazing to see shooting stars and this campground was so peaceful and very friendly ppl. The campground also sell firewood and they would drive around asking if you want to buy some. So convenient and our group had a wonderful time here.

They are friendly, funny, witty, and genuinely enjoy making every camper feel like family. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in every detail. They go above and beyond to keep everyone entertained with rock painting for the kids, pool activities, ice cream socials, music, pizza nights, chicken wings, and so much more. There is always something fun happening, and it's easy to see why families love coming back. The shower facilities deserve a special mention--they are absolutely beautiful and exceptionally clean. Honestly, they are some of the cleanest campground showers I've ever seen! The fish-cleaning station was another pleasant surprise. It was well-maintained, convenient, and spotless. One of the things we appreciated most was how safe and peaceful the campground felt. Walking around at any time was comfortable, and when quiet hours began, they truly were quiet. It made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you, Kim, and your entire staff, for creating such a welcoming, family-friendly campground. Your hard work, laughter, and hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We can't wait to come back! The Jobe's And Mr.Grumpy pants , Bryan... space 10 4th of July weekend. 2026

May, 2024. We stayed one night at this campground mid-week in our Class B RV after having made…read morereservations on Recreation.gov. Finding the campground (Rating: 1/5). We had had a LONG driving day, it was getting dark, and we were not familiar with the Lake Isabella area. We passed several National Sequoia Forest campgrounds on the lake that had vacancies but Tillie Creek was still further along -- and required navigating a curvy road where the speed limit and driving by locals was too fast for conditions. When our GPS reported that we had reached, we didn't see any signage that a campground was there so we mistakenly missed it. However, we then noticed picnic tables and fire rings that were suggestive of the campground so we turned back and found the campground. Finding a site. (Rating: 4/5). Being mid-week, almost ALL of the sites were available but most had tags that they were reserved for the weekend. We selected a fairly level site -- and were soon joined by the camp host who checked us in and gave us our car tag. He also warned us to be careful because there were rattlesnakes in the area. We only saw a bunny! It turned out that only the camp host, another rv, and us were the only ones on-site for the night. It also turned out that our selected site (#18) wasn't ideal because there was early morning traffic noise. This campground does not offer showers, but it does have restrooms and water spigots. Also note that one section of the campground isn't being maintained -- beyond where Tillie Creek had flooded. Also, to our knowledge, the lake is not easily accessible from the campground.

We chose a site in a grove of trees and it's been amazing have shade throughout the entire day. The campground isn't perfect, we were lost when we first came in, went up the road to some mobile homes and then finally when we reached the campground it looked slightly abandoned. The booth where you check in was abandoned, in disrepair and full of cobwebs, a playground was full of empty frames of where swings and stuff should be, and like I mentioned before looked empty. We eventually found the camp host who was very pleasant and helpful though and were given the choice to pick any site we wanted. About an hour from Sequoia's trail of 100 giants and a few minutes from the French Gulge Marina where we rented some kayaks. Only real downside was there were a lot of wasps at our campsite when we tried to prepare food and no showers on site either. Toilets are basically outhouses but were kept clean. All in all had a good weekend away here.

Great stopover before you hit the Sequoias Lots of off road-ing trails CONS: This area can get REALLY hot ... just be aware and check weather 1st There aren't many trees and shade on the hikes around the area Kern River and Lake Isabella are drying out (please come and enjoy before it becomes extinct!)

Campground: Stayed here for a weekend at the end of March,…read moreit was one of the only campgrounds open this time of year. While the campground itself was great. The area around it was lacking with stuff to do this time of year. We stayed at Site 55, which is in the back corner of the grounds. It's more separated from the other sites. There are a few small tress but not much shade. There is water right across from the site but the bathrooms are at the other end of the site. I would recommend site 55 if you want privacy. The woman that runs the campground is really friendly and checked on us often. Things to Do: Beware if you go to the Sequoia National Forest before May the road that goes to most of the hiking trails and the Sequoia National Monument is closed until May so you can't get to anything. This was really disappointing to us. Since we couldn't do the hike we wanted we checked out the Kern river, it was so low because of the drought, we swam in the river, it is freezing so you can't swim for long. We saw a few people tubing but they were getting stuck and having trouble. There were no rafters. The water was too low. We ended up finding one hiking trail that we could get to via another road right where the main road closed. You had to drive 26 miles to the end of the road, once you get to the end of the road it's a 13 mile hike there and back, it was a very steep and challenging hike, take your time. At the end of the hike is the river and an awesome bridge. The hike is beautiful, great views and totally secluded. We actually saw 2 mountain lions on the hike. In Kernville there wasn't much, a few gift shops, a sports bar, and a couple places to eat. Lake Isabella itself is actually really disappointing. It's on the verge of extinction. Most of the lake is completely dried out and the little bit of water that is there is too small to really swim or do anything.

Our group decided to clean up the mess in the photos (minus the poop paper) in hopes that it will inspire future visitors to clean up after themselves. We spoke with a Ranger who told us several areas like this one are being shut down due to the amount of trash people are leaving behind. I can't even begin to understand that. There's absolutely no reason to trash this place. There are three large garbage dumpsters and several port-a-potties in the parking area for you to use. It can't get any easier people.
