"Hi Kern River’s Edge Crew,
Just want to extend my gratitude for keeping up such a great campground. I booked a double site and Sandy Beach for my brother's 10 person bachelor's rafting/camping weekend. After a long morning on the water, we were all pleasantly impressed with the clean, comfortable, and organized campground we called home. The weather was perfect and the river was right over the berm every time we wanted to take a cool quick dip. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They routinely checked on us to make sure were comfortable. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone. In fact, I'm already looking at my calendar to see when I can come back with my wife and kids. This place is great for families…including pets. See you soon, Kern River's Edge!" L.

Campers-Who-Care
Thank you for being a Camper who Cares! Planning for success in the outdoors includes little changes like packing trash bags so that your group can leave our wild spaces cleaner than you found them. Think scavenger hunt and have everyone in your group canvas the area you have just used whether it be for "day use" or overnight camping and get everyone to participate in leaving the space better than you found it. This teaches and mentors campers of all ages to respect and treat the outdoors with the care that it deserves.
What does it mean that Sequoia National Forest does not allow glass on the Forest? Simply that you need to pack and shop a little bit different before you come. Use plastic storage containers, ziploc bags, cans, or metal containers for camping gear and kitchen supplies instead of glass. Transfer those bottles of wine into a bota bag instead of bringing glass to camp.
Always practice Leave No Trace (en Español) principles and pack out what you pack in. Read our park's Kern River camping etiquette tips and policies, before you visit.
