We stopped on the way to Sequoia National Forest. It is a beautiful and quiet area. Danny was very responsive and helpful with water and electricity for our rv. Thanks for having us!

We loved the shaded camp site! We had 2 separate cars and 2 small tents on site but the site could have accommodated 1-2 more small tents or 2 large.
The fire pit was perfect for grilling including the grill top that Danny provided and the ability to buy wood that burned slowly. We enjoyed the freshly laid eggs for breakfast.
The on site hose and long sitting bench were a treat, and we appreciated the compost toilet.
It was a 20 minute drive to Remington Hot Springs where we dipped into the Kern river to cool off.
We drove a Volkswagen Golf and Toyota Avalon and had zero issues getting to the site, just got slowly!
Danny and his brother Joseph were welcoming and easy to connect with. Would absolutely stay here again, and wish we'd had a second night!

This site had lots of trees and shade, and it was nice to be around the sheep, chickens, and other farm animals. It was also nice to be at a camp outside the Kern River valley since it was about 10 degrees cooler. About a 25 minute drive into Kernville, we headed down each day for river activities…

Camping here was a breeze. Even in the hot summer months. The site is under a big tree that protects you from the sun. I’d stay here again.

It was such an awesome experience! A special thank you to Danny and Joseph; you made the stay with my kids very memorable. I especially appreciated the tour of the farm and all the helpful advice as to where to go and what to do. The campground was exactly as described.
Visitor Recommendations:
Make sure to take a portable shower, as it was invaluable for us during our three-night stay. There's endless amount of water available with garden hose. Bug spray will help a lot, and of course a table and grill. Overall a fantastic location, only 15-20 mins away from town and 30 mins from nearest Marina at Lake Isabella.

First the campsite was not conducive for multiple tents and cars. The reservation was for 8 people and 4 cars and required approval from the host who should have declined it knowing the size of his site. There is one narrow drive way in and maneuvering 3 trucks around was a joke. There is one site and it is infested with red ants, a bee hive in the tee above and an insane amount of mosquitoes. We ended up leaving early and staying at Hobo Campground right on the river with far fewer mosquitoes. The neighbors dogs barked aaallll night long, not a place for peaceful sleep in the wilderness. We came camping to reduce stress, this place was not it. We were also sold religion by the host and his brother and debated with by the brother when we said we were not interested. Very inappropriate and uncomfortable. Our second night as we sat preparing dinner and hanging by the fire they began weed wacking the hill on our site for at least hour until I asked him to do it another time. Then that night was the final straw with a loud and intense verbal altercation happening in the hosts residence with yelling and cussing and was very aggressive sounding. This was at bed time for again at least an hour. We were all in our tents trying to go to sleep and felt very unsafe and trapped. We woke early the next day, packed up and took off to stay at a real campground and enjoyed the rest of our trip.

It’s a nice set up with a fire pit, hose, and it’s super convenient to order wood instead of having to lug it up. We cooked/smoked up food and we also got the eggs. It’s the mountains so be prepared for some crawlies but we didn’t have any issues.

Beautiful space! Everything is as described. I do wish there was a picnic table at the site (don’t know why I didn’t think to bring my collapsible one). My dogs had a blast. Creek is seasonal which was a bummer but we were close enough to Lake Isabella, where we were able to let the dogs and kids play in the water!

Overall Danny was a very pleasant and accommodating host. WiFi access for the day was $20 and was required to pay for each day of stay with no other option. Firewood bundles were 40% more than the gas stations down the street and had less wood. However, the eggs were worth every penny and were delicious. I ended up finding a gorgeous dispersed camping site 40 min away on the Kern River with sweeping views at no charge. At the price point I was a little disappointed but happy to have gotten familiar with the area.

Had a lovely stay, just 1 night. Loved the creek, and the croaking frogs. The oak tree provided good shade. Saw the cat as she stalked around on her rounds of the property. Wish she came to say hi! It was easy driving to get there, 2wd hyundai had no problem, but it's still pretty private, and we were right there with the landscape. We could see the top of mt breckenridge through a clearing in the trees! Also loved seeing a bunch of scrub jays up close. Fire pit was amazing. I recommend getting extra firewood. Also, last but not least, those eggs! WOW! We brought a lil skillet just to cook those, and it was absolutely worth it. With just butter & salt the eggs tasted so delicious, with a flavor so rich it was almost like fried chicken.

I surprised my dad for his 60th with a camping trip to this site. It was perfect! The area was secluded and the owner lived a bit up the hill. He was super nice when we got turned around (we are directionally challenged). The instructions given are very clear though. He was very kind and walked down to campsite with us. The site was very clean, great fire pit, nice to have a make-shift bathroom as well. I would highly recommend this place.

It was a beautiful sight! Camping under an oak tree was very lovely too. We could hear an owl in the distance which was really cool too. Danny was an amazing host, he also provided us with great instructions on finding the property, which helped a lot.

I had a really nice time camping out on Danny's farm. I was looking for some quiet space to do some writing and clear my head and this was perfect. It's close enough to people that I wasn't afraid of any wildlife getting too close but it was also very quiet and private. The spot is perched up in the mountains so make sure it's daylight getting in and out of there.

Danny’s camp site is a cozy little spot about 35 minutes off the highway. Found comfort in pets wandering the property and friendly voices of mountain-neighbors could be heard in the distance until evening. On the other hand, even now in early winter there is foliage in all directions, offering privacy and a sense of being immersed in nature. Thanks for sharing your space, hope to return someday.

I booked Danny’s campsite for the weekend to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a blast! It’s a lovely spot, secluded with plenty of shade and the most perfect fire pit.
We brought our tent, a table, and some chairs and were set! Danny provides a hose hook up and outdoor bathroom which is super helpful.
The lake and hot springs are only 20 mins from the site - plenty of fishing opportunities! You’ll be welcomed by many kittens, dogs, chickens and turkeys. We woke up to so many lovely birds singing. It truly is so peaceful.
Danny offers wifi, firewood, and herb bundles (for cooking) at an affordable additional price. If you’re camping through the fall/winter - bundle up!!
10/10 recommended, we’ll be back.

I really love this place. The campsite is incredibly peaceful, with no one around, so there's no need to worry about disturbing others or being disturbed. The area is surrounded by dense tree cover, so you won't be bothered by the morning sun. The host provides firewood and is very friendly. He also thoughtfully set up a water hose for us to easily clean things and put out fires.
In summary, highly recommended.

Danny the host was friendly and provided very helpful information. I am not sure if it was the time of the year but way too many bugs flying around to enjoy my time there. Too bad, it was a cool spot for the day.

Was a great camping spot. Met Danny for a minute and was a very respectful, laid back guy. There was a bench and fire pit on the site and the bench was placed perfectly so you can feel the heat of the fire but the smoke doesn’t get into your face with the way the wind blows through
