Kern River Campground features 50 sites right along the Kern River, each with their own picnic table and fire ring. There is also potable water spigots and bathrooms at the campground.
Other nearby attractions are Lake Ming, California Living Museum, and Hart Park.
General Location: The Lake Ming Road exit off the Alfred Harrell Highway leads down to the lake. There is a sign at the West Beach which marks the half mile road to the campground overlooking the Kern River. This retreat is only 10 miles from Bakersfield.
I been coming to this campsite for 21 years. Is absolutely the best! I absolutely recommend it. Is great for the whole family to enjoy.
But like I always tell the people that come with me for the first time, (there’s no swimming in the river, there are signs telling you that) but, if you do get in which the park rangers won’t say anything. Please WEAR WATER SHOES AND A WATER VEST. You don’t know how many ppl my family and I have witnessed the river take, as well saved. If you don’t know how to swim please don’t get inside. If you do please WEAR A WATER VEST and WATER SHOES.
Beautiful place, very well taken care of. The bathrooms are the cleanest and has warm water. Would definitely come back.
This place is Beautiful, But Need to be really Careful The current it's really strong right now it's been 325 people have drown in this river and today I had to witness a rescue team trying to find a Body So sad to look at her family walk out of the place with out a family member. BE CAREFUL and stay SAFE 🙏.
