Kern River's Edge Campground Retreat

I don’t write reviews a lot, but this place deserves 5 stars across the board. The sites were clean, multiple people driving around delivering ice and wood at your convenience. Bathrooms were the cleanest campground bathrooms I’ve been in. There wasn’t one time in a weekend where I saw that there was no toilet paper. The showers were warm. The river was nearby. The people were welcoming and very respectful of privacy and space! Resources for washing dishes, drinkable water spigots, close bathrooms/showers, on site store with general stuff. Lots of fun this weekend.

The campsite is wonderfully clean, well equipped, hot and clean showers, ample bathrooms and a lovely stroll to the river with clean beaches and other amenities like frisbee golf, shade trees for hammocks, volleyball court and more. |The sites themselves are large and most of them have ample shade and plenty of room for everything you want to bring. We will definitely be back, but most likely off season and mid week because we prefer quiet and the campground is popular and busy during the weekends and on holidays. I do have to say there is a hard time of quiet at 10 pm and it really was quiet with a minute or two of 10 pm and we slept well each night. |Every person working here are super friendly, very helpful, professional and responsive, every request, question and need was handled or an

Definitely can use trash cans. There are NONE anywhere, not even in the bathrooms, just some dumpsters in designated "Trash Areas". Staff was very nice, but did give a feeling to campers of being supervised, not a good vibe while on vacation. Checking out is a little stressful. Even though they are very friendly, workers & owners constantly monitoring your breakdown, packing up process & inspect the condition of your site a few hours BEFORE checkout time even hits, so it takes the "Vacation Feel" out of your vacation at the time you need it most, when your vacation is coming to an end & creating the last memory of your trip. Can not get late checkouts without substantial fees. Again, staff is VERY nice but focuses a little too much on the campers in the campsites & could have been b

The facility is beautiful, bathrooms are great, the river is near by, the limited interaction i had with the staff was pleasant. Great place to tent camp..... I however did not tent camp and getting up there with my travel trailer on highway 178 was sketchy to say the least. The camp grounds are not well suited for larger travel trailers. Getting in and out of this place with a travel trailer is not ideal. I would totally go back and tent camp but never again with a travel trailer.

We had a great time at KRE. We arrived on Tuesday and left on Saturday. The bathrooms were clean and the showers worked well. They kept the grounds clean, and they were prompt in delivering the volleyball when we wanted to play. Very nice people. The campsite is right on the river, so when we got hot we went for a refreshing dip in the river! If you want a relaxing time you should go here. We even saw a deer in the campgrounds on our last day! It was really nice. Very close to the launch sight of the Kern River for white water rafting, too.
