Kern River's Edge Campground

This is a very nice campground. It's clean, safe, quiet, and well organized. Showers offer hot water. Showers are clean. Restrooms are clean. Campground is shaded with direct access to the Kern River. It's very convenient. Love the store. Love the camp host. Camp host will bring you firewood and ice. Camp host keeps the campground clean and safe. I slept very well here. I enjoyed my time. Great spot for a few nights. I recommend this campground.

My first time camping at Kern River's Edge Campground and I'd come back here again, despite the few hiccups. My friends called and obtained last minute reservations a week before our scheduled trip. Thank goodness they had a spot available. Campsites here are slightly more pricey than other areas, but well worth it for the "extras". We arrived late and did NOT have a welcome package waiting for us at check-in station, therefore we had to figure out the code to drive into the first gate. We're smart cookies and figured out the code, of course. Once we found our site, the camp host greeted us 30 min to 1 hour later. Forgetting the guys name, but he was friendly, talkative and easy going. Campsite comes with a picnic table and fire pit and room to park 2 cars. LOVE the flushing toilets, running water from the sinks as well as the coin operated showers here (so don't forget to bring quarters). Running river nearby with a game area (giant connect four) out there too. As I'd take my family to come glamping here soon.

This was initially planned during spring break however with the way weather was that time, snow and rain were expected as well extreme cold- truly not for our toddlers- we felt it best to reschedule: initially we were not allowed to but we have children toddler age and younger with us that they were able to permit with additional fee.So finally we rescheduled in the first week of May and the weather was just right. Cold but comfortable at night and hot during the day - enough to explore the water but a little too cold to swim.Rafting season was in as well as fishing and that was what our weekend was about!The campsite was generally clean and maintained well.Ofcourse there was sand and dust that was expected but the facilities in general were great.There are restrooms and showers with hot water (coin and timed however which with the amount paid, and code to access given, anyway, should come already with the price- which is the only set back)'were clean. They had water to access everywhere as well as sinks built all around to use for washing hands, dishes, etc.They also have port-a-potty's accessible aside from the restrooms.There is a shop that sells food like ice cream, candies and snacks and drinks, ice, firewood and a gift shop where you check in.The staff was great. Helpful and checked in often. The people we were camping with had an issue and lost their key and the hosts went above what was expected and called the rafting companies and other vendors that were in the area to assist us in finding keys and getting a locksmith over to help.Overall the experience was great and we were already making plans for our return!

Stayed at the lofty oak and had an extra site close by for our other friend's tents. Overall very clean campsite with great access to the river. Be mindful that there's only one building of flushing toilets located in the middle of the grounds and the rest are all porta-potty's scattered around for sites on the outside. They have ice and fire wood ready to go at the host site which is really nice and convenient. The river was at perfect levels for just chilling and tubing so that was a great plus. We also ventured into town for some groceries and to test out the local saloon and brewery. Lofty Oak site is good for 2-4 people/ we used the deck as a hangout spot (be careful about the red ant infestation tho!) and put one tent plus the picnic table and our food set up there. Comes with one outlet and a little hose. Might want to bring extra lights that you can plug in.

We just got back from camping at MRA had a BLAST!! The campsite was clean, the bathroom were always clean, the river was ahhhmazing, everything was PERFECT! We had camp sites 8 and 10 and those two sites accommodated all of our 6 tents. The benches they have at each site came in handy too. We were also able to have a campfire, which the kids and grown-up enjoyed. This campsite is privately owned so you can have a campfire even when its fire season. The camp host are also very accommodating, they have a phone number for you to call and you can get ice or fire wood delivered right to you. Our campsites were also very close to the river and you could hear the river flowing while your in your tent. Our boys also got up early and snagged the best spot on the river for our camping crew. I highly recommend MRA/Kern Rivers Edge campgrounds. Everything was perfect and we cannot wait to go back and reserved a site for Sept. 2022.

Excellent service and the campground was very clean. I had arrived at the campground on a Saturday afternoon and was able to get a river front campsite. There were enough space in between campsites to provide some bit of privacy. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked.

I was there this weekend. I have good and bad things to say about it. The host is 100% great, friendly and no complaints. The campground is clean, and very nice. You can order ice and firewood from him. Nowhere mentions on the website that their store is not open in November. Nowhere on their website states that there is no lake access in November. I took my mom to the campground because I told her about the lake. That was a disappointment.I didn't see a sign or anyone checking about non campers going in. I've never seen any campground where non campers can just go in and walk around including in between occupied campsites. This happened 3 times between Saturday and Sunday. One of the incidents 12 people from the same bunch including kids with wood sticks, yelling, walking near our campsite, the adults being loud etc. This is not expected at all, and I wasn't happy.

Been here multiple times in the summer am planning a trip in december wanted to know if the showers were open in december?

I wish I could give more stars!!!! Kern Rivers Edge is a must camp destination. Owners John and Rhonda were so helpful and welcoming, their staff on site were always available and quick to help with any needs. The campground itself was immaculate and clean. top notch facilities. They went above and beyond creating spaces for games "Bud's Grove" and "Pavillion" for large parties. River access was easy. Our group "Trail Mixer" had a blast and we will now be regulars. Do not pass this campground by book asap you will not be disappointed.Happy Camper Destiny
