KRS at Camp James

This was the fourth time we've stayed at Camp James. The first time we stayed in a tent on the riverfront, and the last three times we stayed in the cabin. The cabins are much more comfortable! lol. The cabins come equipped with plates, utensils a large electric frying pan, electric skillet, crockpot, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, etc. Cabins have beautiful knotty pine throughout and I just love staying there. This last stay we were excited to see a small herd of deer come through and just graze while we watched. It was amazing! I recommend this place highly . The staff are very accommodating and very pleasant! I will be returning for a fifth time!

Great location right on Kern River. Sites are good size with choices of full hook ups (away from river), to E/W on and near the river. Hosts are friendly and helpful.Cable is pretty bad in the sites we've stayed in, but we don't go there to watch TV! WiFI is decent. Only real complaint is they require campers to wear orange wristbands...not even for free beer! We stayed in site 24 with full hook ups.

First time booker here. We stayed at cabin 26 for a few days this April. We really had a good time. The staff was very friendly. I was a little scared when I started reading some yelp reviews after booking to be completely honest.. but our experience was nothing but great! Upon reading the reviews of others, I made sure to be there by 5pm for check in. We got checked in and given our wristbands, a parking tag for our vehicle and WiFi password pamphlet. Our cabin was perfectly cleaned and everything worked great. Had plenty of hot water and everything we needed for our mini stay-cation! You're close to stores, gas and food. Our cell phones worked (ATT) so I didn't even log on to the WiFi. The views of the river are amazing here. I had my 2 daughters and son with me and they were able to walk around and explore with no issues. They are well behaved and enjoyed it. The wildlife and little creek were so amazing. We cooked at the little campfire site at our cabin and made sure to put the fire out after we were done. Simple guidelines is all they ask you to follow. Same things you should already know to do at any campground really.. Personally, the rules do not bother me. They are in place to keep the riff raff down and I appreciate that. We come up to relax and enjoy nature. Not hear crazies getting rowdy all night long. Some people aren't familiar with the Kern river campgrounds but a lot of people think they're going to come up here and party like it's 1985 and drink all night. KRS keeps that away from here. So if you're looking for a peaceful and quiet place to camp, this is the spot for you. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

Camp James has always been our go-to home away from home but this last experience was horrible. With no oversight, the female manager reigns her power as if she sits on a throne. No professionalism. We stayed in an RV sight and friends in a cabin. Walked our dog up to the cabin for breakfast only. The manager comes in on a scale of 10 10 saying how we are breaking rules and is going to fine us. We tried to explain the dog was not staying at the cabin and we were there for breakfast but she refused to have a conversation. No warning just a fine and kicked my friends out refusing to allow them to stay another night although cabins were vacant for the next few days. Money lost.Additionally, she said pets are not allowed in cabin. There is a sign in the cabin that says don't leave pets unattended. Second, the manager said 250 was fine but again another sign has 200. Owners lost out on money and future money as well as facing legal action in the future with false information posted with a manager who makes up whatever rules she wants cause she has all the power with no oversight.

Great place to camp have family with you. Clean facility's friendly staff. It's been while since I've been back up time for trip

This campground is one of our favorites because of the proximity to the Kern River for its views from the campsites and the river floating in tubes or small rubber boats/rafts. The camp staff is excellent and very friendly. The grounds are well maintained. The owners need to pay more attention to the electric infrastructure however. The power company is providing inferior load during the hot days. I had a voltage meter hooked up to the campsite power box to monitor the fluctuations in power load. Last year my power cord melted to my adaptor cord. This year I was at a 50 amp site for my 30 amp Motorhome and I brought an expensive surge protector. My neighbor was in a 30 amp spot and did not have a surge suppresser and had to wait until evening to turn on his air conditioning after the power levels came up to a safe level. If this problem isn't addressed, the owners of this campground will lose future customers and possibly have a lawsuit when the electronics of a Motorhome are fried from the unstable power level conditions.

We have been to this rv park twice now since we got our RV, the first time in June few years back and then again in February 2025. The park was not super full but it is wonderfully clean all the time. They work really hard to keep it up I can say that and it is great fully appreciated couldn't be more gorgeous of a place to stay that is still close to little restaurants stores and whatever is in town.

Site 50 is terrible backs up looking over the maintenance area. We paid full price and this is the view that we were looking at the entire weekend so terrible. They didn't even offer a discount. I really recommend you guys putting up a fence so your guests do not have to look at this mess.

Excellent staff!Grounds are very clean and well kept.Beautiful campground!Highly recommend!

Gates close at 9pm however cars were still coming in & out of gate at 10pm. Quiet hours begin at 10pm but people were still being loud at 2am. 6 people per campsite but only 2 tents per campsite.1 car per campsite, overflow parking is limited. Lots of shade & bathrooms were super clean. Safe campground & clean.
