I loved our site, we were right next to the river and it was so beautiful. we stayed in November which i would not recommend — it was definitely cold and with the minimal insulation in each tent/cabin, the heat would g

Insulation for the tent/cabins and a better heat source for the winter months. It was below 30 degrees which is pretty rough for campers who are expecting glamping. Other than that we had a great experience in a beautiful camp.

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

A4 King Tent (6672)

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

A2 King Tent (7521)

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.
