The cabins are situated in The Sequoia National Forest, overlooking the majestic rapids of the Kern River. Come and hike, bike, dip in the river, or simply kick back and take in the 360 of sky scrapping mountains (even glimpse Mount Whitney!) At once a silver mine along the Kern River, now converted to a fun recreation spot for adventure seekers

Expecting any…
Location was great, the tents, bathrooms, and showers were all very clean. The camp host and others were all very helpful and friendly. We loved the close proximity to the river.
