3 nights at Kernville Ranch
Another successful stay at Amelia’s property! The property is quiet and peaceful. The cedar hot tub is the perfect touch! Just a few minutes from town and the restaurants really made the trip that much more relaxing and enjoyable! Thanks Amelia! We’ll be back!

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.

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.

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 Kernville Ranch
My partner and I had a wonderful long weekend on Kernville Ranch! A beautiful peaceful little bit of paradise, surrounded by fields of horses and a couple mule friends. The lodging in the Shiny Spartan is cozy and quaint, has all you need for a few nights' stay and then some, including fridge, shower and sinks with hot or cold potable water, AC/heaters, basic utensils/plates/bowls/glasses/cookware, and the griddle which was great to grill some sausages on for dinner!
Loved sitting out stargazing on the open patio, greeting the farm animals every morning, and the hot tub next to the creek was such a magical treat! Lots of wildlife including birdsong all day.
I recommend bringing some citronella candles as it gets buggy in the evenings!
Such a great time! Would love to come back with friends sometime soon. Thank you Amelia and co!

2 nights at Spirit Walk - Private Retreat
This place was amazing! my girlfriend and i were lucky enough to have had the entire place to ourselves the 2 nights we stayed at spirit walk. we loved that john was very intentional about leaving as little human trace as possible when designing this place with a compost toilet, biodegradable everything, outdoor kitchen, etc. i truly felt immersed in nature and left feeling much calmer. also kernville is such a california hidden gem! we’ll definitely be back

1 night at Diamond Acres Camp 🏕
People, there is a new standard when using the word Glamping and this is it. I can't tell you how amazing this site was. The lifted and spacious tent we had was supplied with a heater; chargers, and a journal as well as an incredible mattress and sheets and blankets. The common area was also fully stocked with everything you could ever need. Cooking supplies ranging from utensils and tools to a grill and stove, multiple fire pits to choose from, wood and kindling, as well as comfortable chairs. There were also activities such as corn hole and golf clubs. The bathroom was similarly exceptional with flushable toilets and the outdoor shower was nice and hot with good water pressure. All
in all this whole place was incredible. It was immediately evident that the hosts put a lot of time, effort, and love into this place so that people could enjoy the surrounding area.

Weekend Trip to SoCal Camping
We were pleasantly surprised by the space, location, and comfort of our stay! Plenty of space for four people to stay comfortably! We love the communal vibe with our two other tents and because we were there on a light weekend we had the five tent section all to ourselves! The host were great and easy to talk to and allow us our privacy! We are right above the stairs down to the river, which made it really nice for everyone in the group. Bathrooms are very clean and spacious and the showers were always hot! All of my guests couldn’t stop raving about how nice they were! Everything was stocked with quality supplies and there was easy access to water and dish, sinks and hot coffee and tea all day long! It’s nice to be right outside the city and perfect for stargazing! We can’t wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to Underworld Farms
My grandkids had a blast exploring the area. The boat was a bit noisy at night when the wind would blow through but the kids slept through. The solar powered lights were beautiful at night. There’s very little light pollution from city lights, so the stars were amazing!

Weekend Trip to Diamond Acres Camp 🏕
It was a delightful relaxing experience. We were able to drive up to the sequoias 2½hrs up. It was cold at night but not freezing . There were blankets provided but we brought extra and didn't need to use the portable heater that the host provided which was super sweet. Everything for a quick little getaway. Perfect for a 2-3 days stay.

Weekend Trip to Spirit Walk - Private Retreat
This land is very well thought out. John didn’t miss a thing! Whether you’re tent camping or staying in the adorable playhouse, he thought of it all. The communal kitchen is equipped with everything so there’s no need to pack oolong items. There are food storage bins as well and a few picnic tables. The deck is beautiful and the lighting is perfect.
I stayed in the playhouse and it’s cozy and romantic. It has a private fire pit but I’m guessing anyone can enjoy it. There is even an outdoor shower for those bold enough ;-)
The property is private and well kept. I went valentines weekend so it was cold and rained the first night but the second night was clear and the stars were bright. The creek/river was very active and the sound was soothing. You can access it down the path.
John wasn’t there but walked me through the property over the phone as if he was right there with me. I HIGHLY recommend visiting, I’ve never experienced anything like it, and quite honestly can’t come up with anything negative to say other than I didn’t stay long enough :-)

1 night at Spectacular A-Frame. Epic views!!
I enjoyed the sunrise over the lake from the deck, the comfy bed, the the warming stove in the family room and the beautiful views. Also the completely fenced in backyard so I didn’t have to worry about my dog. Very friendly and responsive host.
