We loved this place. Best spots are on the river but only have electric and water. The sites off of the river offer full hookups. We were here in early fall, and it was beautiful. The park is clean and the staff does a nice job of making sure park rules are followed. Be sure to drive 45 minutes north to check out the The Trail of 100 Giants. Kernville is the closest town to this awesome trail of sequoias.

In Spring 2016 we had been camping at different sites along highway 395, and searched for another location on our way home, we came across Camp James near Kernville.

What a find! Friendly staff, clean sites, reasonable rates and right along the river. One slight negative, you have to pay for a shower, about $1, but really clean. Overall we liked our 2 night stay, and before we left booked another week in the Summer!
