There is a visitor center open a few hours every afternoon. Idk if they are doing tours again yet. The campground is the right turn before the little library. You'll see it up ahead. I believe it's a pastel green. Follow the road to the campground.

Yes, but nominal. The best tine to go is when they have their event: Spring, June, Fall. Historians will dress in period clothing and tell stories of the past. The last tine i went one of the residents was there signing her book.

Does it cost money to go if there is money to be paid how much

Brian J. Mosquera | Oct 6, 2018

The fee question has been answered. But, did you know that the park has an event 3 times a year where historians dress up from the period and the park rangers open up all of the buildings for you to go through and enjoy stories. The last time I went , one of the original residents was there and she signed one of my books. The festivals usually occur around the months of February, June, and October annually.

I suggest Googling Colonel Allensworth. I am sure there is published history available! Kern County Library should have books or documents!

Since this is located in such a rural and isolated area the physical address was not specifically visible. I simply followed the signs from the 99 freeway and along the road until I ended up at the location

I plan to camp there Saturday night. Is the campground open? Do you have any idea if it will be full. How much to tent?

carol weaver | Oct 6, 2018
jerry figures | Oct 6, 2018

I only do sound there whenever they have an event so I'm not sure how much it cost to rent a camp spot. I'm pretty sure they'll be open because they're always open when we're there
