Full RV hookups
Electrical, water, and sewage hookups are available at select sites.
Private ADULT ONLY camping. With a central outdoor kitchen and dining area, group fire pit, & a bathroom with a composting toilet, sink, & shower. Seasonal creek. Quiet and private. We have a small cabin (The Playhouse) and 15 campsites. No Pets, No Smoking ADULTS ONLY. Spirit Walk is a quiet meditative place. It is not a conducive environment for young children. Thank you for understanding. Lake Isabella, the Kern River and historic Kernville are just 5 minutes down the road. All Hipcamp proceeds go directly back into the land in the way of forest maintenance, a tree planting program and improvements to the facilities.

heavenly solo retreat
what a gift it was to be at spirit walk. you can feel the intentionality and care with which john has cared for the land, and the spirit of the land is really singing in return. i had the good fortune of being the only person camping on the land while i was there (mid-week), and the creekside site was divine. i had plans to go into sequoia park, visit the hot springs, etc, but just ended up staying at spirit walk and soaking up the beauty there. the creek was flowing, and i could swim privately in the cold water by a little waterfall. so rejuvenating. and john's effort and attention to detail means that all of the amenities are well-taken care of: the ample bear boxes that can hold your cooler, groceries, etc; the stove, sink, and cooking supplies (byo oil, plates, etc, but pots and pans are covered); the firepit and thoughtfully organized wood and kindling; the compost toilet; and the well-maintained trails. also worth noting, i felt 100% safe with john (and at the site in general) as a single woman, which isn't the case everywhere. it's also great to feel tapped into some wildness but be several minutes from a small town. would definitely recommend this retreat to any folks looking for an intentional space to reconnect with nature. thanks john!

Perfect spot to reconnect w/ Spirit
Beautiful land to experience silence and nature at its finest. I came here to get away from the LA scene for a few nights and really shut it all down to just listen and boy was this the perfect spot. I ended up having the entire grounds to myself with the low in the 30s overnight but between the fire pit and supplied firewood, the beautiful creek and the moon to light up the site, it was ideal. I really love the intentionality John out into this space from the signage, guidelines, lighting on the steps, hot shower and overall energy. Highly recommend for anyone thinking of getting away, reconnecting with spirit, nature and themselves.

The Playhouse at Spirit Walk
exquisite
i had the amazing fortune of being on the land all by myself for three nights. what an incredible experience! to be able to delve so deeply into silence, the sweetness of late winter, the cleansing of the river, and the medicine of the trees was a gift i had dreamed of. i made sacred fires, walked the labyrinth with a pair of golden eagles circling overhead, followed bobcat tracks around the land, and stargazed during a new moon. at the end of each day, the hot shower was absolutely divine. when i shared how special my experience was, my four year old told me she was going to practice being silent so she could be the first kid allowed to stay at spirit walk. i’m all for that practice, no matter the outcome! perhaps someday when she’s grown, she’ll get to experience it. thank you for this magnificent opportunity to drop in and be with Earth. it was everything i needed.

The Playhouse at Spirit Walk
Perfect Two-Person Escape
This place was awesome! Both John who owns the property and Micah who lives nearby were awesome to talk to. It's right next to a beautiful creek that I would definitely swim in if it wasn't snowing. The surroundings are beautiful, and the outdoor kitchen was so vibey to cook food and and enjoy eating at. John has created something special here. Highly recommend!

Fantastic tent retreat spot!
This was a wonderful place to recharge and ground myself. Very well-kept grounds and the most lovely creek to wade in and relax by. The stars are easy to see, and the trees provide ample shade. Worth a stay for sure!

It was very lovely. It was quiet since we had the place to ourselves, and the creek was full so that was nice! There is great hiking around as well! It was the perfect tiny camping site
