It's close to the river. We've been camping at Camp 3 for over 20 years. This time, we wanted to sleep comfortably and be close to the river to enjoy it more. The second night, they helped us light the BBQ and make a campfire. The gentleman was very kind.

The Kern Lodge is cute, comfortable and a great value. It's an old family style lodge. The rooms are good sized and clean. Maybe not the best bed but all 5 of us slept just fine. Location is walkable to literally everything. I can't say enough nice things about the gentlemen who runs the place. We will be back!.

No electricity

Windy conditions during our stay meant they shut down the power. We had no electricity for about 10-12 hrs each day.
