Very pretty, clean and $15 (for senior pass holders) for spacious RV parking with electric is great. COE parks are always excellent Only complaint is that the traffic noise and music from bar nearby on Saturday night is relentless.

Very nice campgrounds. Restrooms and showers are clean, and updated. As nice as some mid price motels. North campground has canopies over the tables. More trees for shade would be nice. Camp official Nancy was very helpful. I am disabled and she assisted me in getting the best site for ease of restroom facilities. Kern County could take lessons from Tulare County regarding how to set up and run a campground.

Make sure you are here in time before the gate closes. Rangers are great

Really nice, flat, open CG with a lot of grassy areas. Nice lake with fish! Caught some nice sized largemouth bass on my trip. The only thing that messed it up was...I got my kayak stolen. The staff and local authorities were nice in trying to help me get it back, but we had no 'success'. I would return, but only in the off season because it looks like it can get really crowded there. Word of warning: if you need to do laundry there is a laundromat on Springville in Porterville - DO NOT GO THERE. I thought I was gonna get mugged there. Three (of 20) washers were working, and only two dryers were working.

After hours there is nothing to keep you from entering the campground. If you have reservations and know how to find your campsite, go ahead and set up. They will catch up with you in the morning. I don't know about the day use area. It has a different entrance.
