Amazing, first come, first serve camp grounds right next to Kern river, trash cans avaliable(please pick up after yourselves!), Port-o-potties are cleaned semi regularly. Come early if you want to get good site next to the river. Bring plenty of food and water if you going to be here for more than a couple of days. River is pretty mellow for the most part.
