Once settled by Tubatulabel and Shoshoni tribes, this area is rich with reminders of their habitation.
Grinding rocks near Tipi camp are one of those.
When gold was discovered in the Kern River Valley, most of the native tribes were displaced but their decendents here in the KRV keep the history alive with language studies and cultural events.

We had a wonderful stay at this RV park on Lake Olancha. What really stood out was how peaceful and secluded it felt—it never got too busy, which made it easy to truly relax and enjoy the surroundings.
One of our favorite perks was the easy, no-hassle access to boats and paddleboards. Being able to grab them anytime without needing to sign up or check in made the experience feel effortless and fun. Our twin 7-year-old boys especially loved exploring the area, and spotting frogs at night quickly became a highlight of the trip.
The location is also a big plus. It’s just a short drive to Lone Pine, with great access to hiking and the Alabama Foothills, making it a perfect base for outdoor adventures.
The office staff and host were warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. And a small but important detail—the WiFi actually worked well, which is always appreciated when you’re on the road.
A couple of areas could use some improvement: the dock areas feel a bit outdated, and the zip line was unfortunately out of service during our visit. That said, these didn’t take away too much from an otherwise serene and enjoyable experience.
Overall, a peaceful, family-friendly spot that we’d happily return to.

2 nights at The Squattage in the Sequoia National Forest!
The Squattage is the cutest little A-frame cabin I’ve ever been in! James is a great host and explained everything to us when we arrived. The lounge chairs outside were great to relax in after a long day of hiking! The location is great, close to the trail of 100 giants and the rest of Sequioa NP. Definitely recommend and hope to visit again soon!

This campsite was great! Clean bathroom and shower! For the price I was more than happy with the quality of the campsite. Biggest downside is being 2 hours from Furnace Creek/Visitors Center.
It currently only has one bathroom which is a bit tough with many other campers but he’s about to install another one! Campsites are a bit closer together but I personally find that really comforting. The Lake, BBQ’s, dock spaces were awesome! Was so kind and swift to responding to any messages and kept the bathroom very clean! You are allowed to use any of the kayaking and paddle boarding equipment and BBQs with propane already there! Great for the price but still in need of some campsite work. Other than that Nacho is super kind and has an awesome campground in the making! Thank you Nacho!

I had the wonderful opportunity to tent camp here in Lake Olancha with 9 of my friends! We rented three sites and had enough room for all of our tents, cars, and cook stove set ups! This is an amazing location as you can easily drive to Death Valley early to beat the heat and come back to a serene lake to cool off in! I would absolutely recommend staying here!

This is a really thoughtfully created space. A lovely way to connect with nature and sleep to the sound of the creek, but still have creature comforts like the kitchen, shower, and hot water. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay and John was very communicative and helpful. I really liked this site under the cover of an oak tree.

Olancha Campground was easy to find and pull into our spot. After long days visiting Death Valley it was great to get back to the campground and play in the lake and walk around its perimeter. We saw lots of birds visiting the oasis including yellow headed black birds, road runners, and lots and lots of coots!

This is a nice little RV area. Be forewarned there is NOTHING nearby with less than a 30 minute drive and the RV sites are close together. However, it is a good place for an easy stop. I had a problem with my camper door, so I was only able to stay one of my three nights.

I loved this campsite because we could choose to have a lake view or not and the bathroom/shower wasn’t too far away. Also, the campsite had a picnic table and a spot for campfire which is allowed and the dock was close so I really enjoyed sitting there watching the ducks fish for food.

This is a very cool piece of property. The location itself is close to town for easy ice runs, but you feel like you’re away from everything , but still have a bar or two on the cell. The sites are each unique and hold their own identity and the kitchen is well stocked, just bring food. The outdoor shower is a MUST try, perfect for rinsing off after a hike.
John was very easy to work with and made me feel welcome. I will definitely be back.
