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

I had such a great time at SoCal Camping. The views and access to Kern River were incredible, making it feel remote while still being just a 15 min drive from Kernville. The tents were great, clean, comfortable bed and pillows. Having access to the bathrooms and showers with hot water was also a big plus. Would definitely stay here again when I come back to the area!

Beautiful River Access
SoCal was an awesome stop over. The tent and bed were super comfortable. I loved how Rachel set up the area for river access, bathrooms, and outdoor showers. She was also super helpful for the area and things to do. The closet sequoias was a hike called 100 Giants about an hour away. Kernville is a cute town to grab breakfast and McNallys Burgers was an inexpensive and tasty meal.

Great views, a little crowded
Overall, the space was really beautiful! The tents are right along the river, giving you space to walk down and soak in the river among all the wild life! I really appreciated the simplicity and beauty of the set up, and loved the outdoor shower. Especially in 100+ weather. We stayed during Labor Day Weekend, so it was crowed and got a little messy with trash bins super full and clogged toilets. I recommend staying here, but not during a holiday weekend if you are looking for something more serene and peaceful.

great location and immaculate views. so relaxing and only a minute walk to the shore of the kern river. Also close to the local town where there are restaurants, brewery, gas and camping supplies. the campus is very nicely spaced out between the various cabins, easy to navigate, nice amount of light at night, and great bathroom/shower setups.

Relaxing before a rafting trip
Had a wonderful stay with the family. Very comfortable beds and the bathrooms and showers were a huge hit with my 20 year old daughter and wife.

It was the most beautiful spot in the middle of the Sequoia National Park. Loved it.
