Weekend Trip to Diamond Acres Camp 🏕

Pretty scenery and clean tent and facilities. Would recommend!

3 nights at Spirit Walk - Private Retreat

There were tons of great camp sites on spirit camp. John greeted us (even tho we arrived 10 min to 9pm) , gave us a tour and was very grounding every time we spoke. There are trees around for hanging up hammocks if you’d like , and you can cool off in the outdoor shower! We were able to stretch a bundle of wood for two nights. The kitchen is well equipped , and well protected with bear box’s and bear safe trash bins. Overall it was a great place to camp and in a convenient location. heads-up — on the entrance to the property, there is a dirt road. Although it’s maintained there is a dip, not too much of a worry for compact suvs , but if you have a sedan it’s something to be mindful of if you arrive at night.

Weekend Trip to Underworld Farms

Beautiful spot! My partner, dog, and I would 100% camp here again!

3 nights at Spirit Walk - Private Retreat

We loved to stay here! The place was peaceful and welcoming. Looking forward to stay there again (:

14 nights at Bare All Retreat

June 2025 25ft Travel Trailer We had an amazing time camping at Bear all Retreat. Corey’s place is 130 plus acres of pure-outdoor bliss. Creek with clear streaming water, amazing views, starry nights and campfires right outside our door. Free range cows, horses, goats, pigs, and chickens, greeted us daily and provided us with entertainment. The family dogs came to visit often hanging out with us keeping us safe and our dog enjoyed making new friends. We hiked and walked on trails collecting pinecones, pine nuts, watercress and fell asleep to the chorus of the frogs in the creek. Corey’s wife Alicia and kids were so kind and gracious sharing with us fresh farm eggs, goats milk, points of interest around the area and pleasant conversation. Camping the way it is ment to be, cant speak highly enough of this hidden gem. We will surely be returning to Bear all Retreat to clear our mind and soul while camping and hiking in the great our doors.

2 nights at SoCal Camping

Overall it’s was a good camping experience, it’s not glamping. It’s more camping with very nice spacious cabins. The cabins were clean and nicely kept. Everything inside was well kept. We did have an ant situation on the bed one night. The group site is situated right at the entrance of the campground. But it’s still quiet and peaceful at night and during the day. But having to park across the road was a bit odd. And I wasn’t informed that the showers/bathrooms weren’t working so that was a bummer. Since at that point everything is on the other side of the campground. (Still close, but with kids a bathroom closer would be helpful). But overall my family had a good time, the staff that I encounter friendly and helpful. The river is beautiful and close by. There’s a sandy beach area within walking distance. We had a great time. My only dislike was someone bathing their dog on the washing station. There’s only two and dishes get washed there. It’s a personal thing.

The one and only Squattage!
We love it here. We think you will too!

Weekend Trip to The Squattage in the Sequoia National Forest!

This was the perfect cozy cottage to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary! At the base of the Sequoia National Forest, among nature and the peace quiet, we were able to Retreat + Recharge + Reconnect. Ozzy built this cottage thinking of every little comfortable he could put into it including two fans inside that my husband was so happy about! And Diane decorated the cutest cottage to feel like a home away from home <3 What a dynamic duo! We will definitely be back!! :)

1 night at Lake Olancha RV Park and Campground

it was our first time staying here and it was a lovely location. it was spacious, accommodated our RV, had water and electric hook ups, a lovely pond that we walked around in the early morning and watching the sunset come up was beautiful. we spotted tons of rabbits and birds everywhere — it looked like a movie location. the only small issue (not in a big way for us) was that if you plan to use the showers / restroom here, it only fits 1 individual at a time. so be prepared to wait if you plan to use. nacho was a great host and very communicative throughout our stay.

1 night at Lake Olancha RV Park and Campground

loved that they had both water and electric hook ups. the views were great and we walked around the lake in the early hours and it was beautiful with the sun rising and all the birds chirping. the entire location looks like a movie scene. although this wasn’t a huge deal for us, as others have pointed out, the shower area is just for one person. so if there are a lot of campers there wanting to use it, be aware of the wait times. nacho was great, friendly and very communicative. we will def plan to stay here whenever passing by. thank you, nacho!

Weekend Trip to Spirit Walk - Private Retreat

We rented the playhouse as part of our group camping at the entire site and I would highly recommend doing so if you’re planning on group camping here! It was nice to have the extra space/extra bathroom. The house itself was very cute, clean, and well maintained.

Weekend Trip to Spirit Walk - Private Retreat

We rented out the whole site for a group camping trip and it was so magical! The creek was flowing and was so nice and refreshing to lounge in. We also really loved the communal campfire and kitchen/dining area. Everything was set up so nicely so we didn’t have to bring much outside of what we needed for food and tent set up. John was very helpful and easy to work with and has such a beautiful setup at Spirit Walk! We definitely want to come back!

3 nights at Split Mountain Retreat

My wife and I had a very enjoyable stay at split mountain. Full RV hookups, a beautiful shaded area with Punic tables, Adirondack chairs, and fairy lights. Not to mention the gorgeous view of Lake Isabella when you wake up in the morning or during sunset. JD, the on site host was very friendly, informative and welcoming. He provided great recommendations and was very responsive when we had questions. He met us upon arrival despite having a later arrival time. I would highly recommend this Hipcamp!

Weekend Trip to Lake Olancha RV Park and Campground

It was nice Meeting with the boys yesterday and I think we will have to go back

2 nights at Spirit Walk - Private Retreat

Great place to camp! Very close to town and also had everything you needed at the site, the outdoor shower was epic and soul refreshing! The communal fire pit was fun, there is a place to charge phones and fill up water bottles. Looking forward to coming again, thanks a lot!

2 nights at Spirit Walk - Private Retreat

We came in with big plans to explore Wofford Heights and Kernville, but Spirit Walk had other ideas. Something about the creek, the stillness, the hush of the trees, time just stretched. The communal kitchen was super functional, the compost toilet was no big deal, and the vibe was calm, grounding, sacred. Perfect for resetting and retreating. We barely left camp, and honestly, that’s the best kind of trip. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to unplug and let nature do its thing.

Weekend Trip to Underworld Farms

Had a great stay here! Except for the first night we had the place to ourselves. The site is close to many things and it’s nice a quiet there. A few things you need to know before booking: 1) We stayed in the sailboat that sleeps 2 (kind of). It was honestly pretty tight for my girlfriend and I as the very back narrows quite a bit. I would say it’s better for 1 person! Note: I’m only 5’8 155lbs and my girlfriend is smaller. 2) A lot of bugs! We expect that while we’re camping so we were fine but if you hate mosquitoes and spiders/webs maybe this place isn’t for you. 3) Pretty bare bones and not much shade coverage so be prepared! We planned on staying on the river most of the days anyway so that wasn’t an issue for us. All that being said- It’s a really fun place to stay and I would recommend it!

Weekend Trip to Spirit Walk - Private Retreat

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely loved our stay! The campsite was peaceful, clean, and exactly as described. Our host John was incredibly welcoming and provided everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The views were stunning, and we loved sitting around the fire pit under the stars. It’s the perfect mix of nature and comfort. Can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Lake Olancha RV Park and Campground

Nacho reached out with a message right away offering a greeting and additional directions that were very helpful and made our arrival seamless. Our RV site (#10) was lakeside and offered a lovely view. We found the campground and lake very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay (regrettably only one night) very much and will definitely come back for a longer visit if our travels bring us back this way in the future.

1 night at Isabella Camping

Chris was incredibly welcoming as his very first HipCamp guest! I'll admit I was a bit skeptical initially about staying at a brand-new host's property, but those concerns vanished the moment Chris greeted me. His warm, friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm immediately put me at ease. The location was ideal, easy to find and perfectly situated right across from the stunning Isabella Lake. I was looking for a peaceful place to recharge and take advantage of proper amenities, and this spot delivered exactly what I needed. Chris went above and beyond by giving me a thorough tour of everything and sharing thoughtful recommendations for local attractions. Even after I left, he continued to provide helpful suggestions for the area. Don't miss out on Chris's homemade honey, it's absolutely incredible and a perfect local treat to take home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a peaceful place with a host who truly cares about his guests' experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

1 night at Underworld Farms

The property is beautiful and feeding the horses & goats was one of my favorite parts!

Underworld Farms

15 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents6 acres · Kernville, CA

Underworld Farms is a small goat ranch in the Kern River Valley. Surrounded by forestry land, on the Kern River, and on top of what used to be the old town of Whiskey Flat (Later re-named Kernville). There is no end to the beauty, history and adventure all around the property. Life took us to the Kern River Valley after moving out of Los Angeles. We enjoy living in the Southern Sierras immersed in all its natural beauty. The small but magnificent town of Kernville is approximately two and a half miles north of us. Our livestock includes horses, dairy goats, sheep, and rabbits: Most of which are raised and bred as our son's 4H or FFA projects. You may be wondering why our farm is called "Underworld Farms". In a nutshell, since our ranch is on the footprint of the historic town of Whiskey Flat, we just happen to be south of the old Whiskey Flat "Boot Hill" Cemetery. Our "driveway" is the road that led from the old town of Kernville to the cemetery. We hope that you consider parking your RV, van conversion, or trailer on one of our customized spots on the property. Or drive your vehicle and pitch a tent on one of our tent friendly sports. Or enjoy a stay in one of our small cabins. Regardless of what you stay in, you will definitely have a memorable time. The campground is VERY barebones and rural. Critters, bugs, and sometimes fellow Hipcampers can be sparce or prevalent pretty randomly. Because Underworld Farms is a working ranch, you will probably hear livestock noises like horses neighing, sheep and goats calling, and our protector dogs barking from time to time. We encourage you to walk over to the horses and goats and meet them. They especially like when you bring them carrots or apple pieces. The ranch has a double outhouse with a hand washing station sandwiched in between, it is rustic and bare bones. We check it to see if it has paper products, soap, water, and plenty of room in the trash bins. During the hotter months, the "daddy longleg" spiders enjoy infiltrating the outhouses and seem to spin new webs overnight. But they and their webs are harmless and easy to brush off. We ask for your assistance if there is something missing, or the trash needs taking out, or if the spiders have taken over again by getting ahold of us through the Hipcamp App and letting us know. With all that being said, there is an ambient beauty here that is unbelievable and memorable. This beauty and draw is so powerful that it causes the many people who come visit to make arrangements to live in our little valley. There is much to do in and around our valley that you couldn't do it all in a lifetime. We hope that you come and stay at the ranch while enjoying our valley. May you have a great time. *** THE PIN MAP ON HIPCAMP IS NOT 100% ACCURATE. PLEASE REFFER TO THE MAP OF THE PROPERTY IN THE PHOTOS
